Skateboarding and more ….
That’s one more. It’s radder. Get it? Think Spinal Tap on this 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year of the millennium. OK, so it’s a stretch but the pics from this year’s annual celebration at Burnside are ready for your review. Check them out after the turn. EPM “smelling the glove” Out!
So you dorked it and managed to miss out on the 20-year celebration at Burnside. Well, turn that frown upside-down mister-man because K.C. captured a bit of it in HD. Check out all the costume saturated shredding after the turn. Also, thanks to everyone that put their time and effort into making this year’s celebration one of the best. EPM “begin video transmission” Out!
Yee haw, grab a rail and smack your tail for this week’s Monday Cover skater, the Carving Cowboy. Mixing his western style fashion sensibilities with skateboarding, the Carving Cowboy rounds ’em up during the 20 Year Burnside celebration. That’s some mighty fine skate wrangling there partner. Now mosey along for some more skate-n-spur action after the turn. EPM “true grit” Out!
Congratulations Carving Cowboy!
The current Burnside Bridge opened to traffic in 1926. Jump ahead to current times, and this 84 year-old bridge provides refuge to the now 20 year-old Burnside Skatepark. Each year, on Halloween, skaters don costumes and flock to the skatepark to celebrate in this magical symbiotic skate environment. Check out a few pics from this year’s celebration under the bridge after the turn along with a few bonus videos from BK and GVK.
This week’s Monday Cover is dedicated to the Burnside Skatepark and everyone that has made and continues to make it one of the best places on the planet to skate. Dare we say, Skate Mecca. Check out some of the shredding that went down during this year’s celebration after the turn. Interested in donating to the park, click this link to donate.
Congratulations Burnside!
The election has come and gone along with the 22nd Burnside Halloween celebration. Exercising his freedom to shred is this week’s Monday Cover skater, Hunter Okano. That’s one sick lien to disaster on the punk wall. Check out more pics along with a video of Hunter making a break for it after the turn.
Congratulations Hunter!
Sporting a viking helmet and exploring the concrete of Burnside, is this week’s Monday Cover skater, Willis Kimbel. That’s one rad air over the hip to fakie during this year’s Burnside anniversary celebration. Willis casually kills everything with style. Check out more of pics of “Willis the Shred” after the turn.
Congratulations Willis!
Backlit by afternoon sunlight, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Ian McMartin, floats a sweet ollie shifty to fakie during the Showdown on Sacred Ground at Burnside. You might remember Ian as the skating mattress/cloud from last year’s Halloween celebration. Check out a few more pics of Ian’s ollie “shifty” to fakie after the turn.
Congratulations Ian!
Just out of the bunker, replacing hate and destruction with love and harmony is this week’s Monday Cover skater, Adolf “Fudge” Hisler. Grooving on a solid ollie over the hip during the 20 year celebration at Burnside, Fudge lets his rainbow swastika fly. Without a doubt, Fudge won the Mel Brooks Genius Award for this spot on costume. Check out more zany goose stepping pics after the turn.
Congratulations Fudge!
One of the best skate sessions on the planet goes down every October 31st under the Burnside bridge. It’s the annual Burnside Birthday/Halloween bash. As usual, the skating and folk’s Halloween costumes were spot on. Check out the action in the gallery including a bonus gallery from Shawn “Little Bob” Reinert. Cheers to Burnside for 19 years of concrete skate therapy.
