Skateboarding and more ….
Hoo haa, that’s one huge air into the pocket courtesy of Chris Miller during this year’s Portland stop of the Dew Tour. Maybe you would like to see more of Chris skating the world’s first portable concrete bowl? Well, you’re in luck; check out videos and results of the legend and pro finals after the turn along with a larger version of Chris’ atmospheric air. EPM “telemetry tracking engaged” Out!
Well, Jamie Jacobson was boosting some massive airs at this year’s Tigard stop of the 2010 Oregon Trifecta. How fitting that he rides for Team Rollic with such frolicsome air. Ok, we’re done with the puns but not the rad pics of Jamie. Check ’em out after the turn. EPM “rollic defined” Out!
Folks stared in amazement at what appeared to be a UFO over Pier Park skate park. You could hear people shouting “no way” and “wooha” as the object passed over head. Fortunately, we were there with camera in tow and snapped a few pics. After hours in the lab and searching frame-by-frame through the images, we were able to solve the mystery. Check it out after the turn. EPM “space oddity” Out!
Happy Bastille Day to those that celebrate it. How apropos that Yuri finds himself in the French Alps, more specifically at the Le Grand Bornand Ramp in 1991. Skaters in attendance include the likes of Miller, Hawk, Frasier, Boyle and the list goes on. Check out all the high elevation shredding on this week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate after the turn.
Vive La France et Bonne Fête Nationale!
Continuing southward from Louisville, we arrive in Atlanta, GA for the 1987 NSA Ramp-n-Range on this week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate. Yuri sure wishes he had a covered vert ramp like the one in the video to skate. Don’t you? Check out all the action after the turn and be sure to let Yuri know your top 5 picks along with best trick.
This week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate stop takes us to Seattle, Washington and the NSI Gotcha Grind circa 1989. Even though massive spinning air tricks ruled the day, precision lip moves a la Groholski and Schroeder started to make their way into the skating main stream. Check out all the skating along with the Super Slo-Mo cam, and some good tunes after the turn.
All you beat master rhyme folks check it out. Last week it was the Terror in Tahoe and this week, we heat things up with the Duel at Diablo, uhhh, uhhh, uhhhh. Yuri is down with the younger generation, now get down with the old vert dogs as they shred it up circa 1986. Check out all action after the turn on Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate.
Last week it was rage, this week it’s terror. More specifically, Terror in Tahoe on this week’s Yuri’s 80’s Re-Vert Fantasy Skate. Check out all the terrifying skating, circa 1985, in the tranquility of Lake Tahoe after the turn. You know the routine. EPM “that guy in the beard looks familiar” Out!
The original combi-bowl at Upland was the king of the gnar park bowls back-in-the-day and that’s where we find ourselves on this week’s edition of Yuri’s 80’s Re-vert Fantasy Skate. The year was 1985 and many of the top pro skaters were on hand to take part in the Rage at Badlands. Check out all the footage after the turn including a rad run by amateur winner Jeff Grosso. The ever inquisitive Yuri wants to know your top 5 skaters along with your pick for best trick. EPM “squared off, ninety degree angles” Out!
Look what we found while perusing through some photos from Pier Park. It’s this week’s Monday Cover skater, Chris Miller, shredding it up in the pipe. What can you say? Chris is on a whole other level when it comes to big concrete pits. Check out a few more pics after the turn including a link to additional photos from this session.
Congratulations Chris!
