Skateboarding and more ….
Come on over to Extracto Roasters on Saturday afternoon, October 27th from 4-6 p.m., for the closing of the Fernhill Skatepark art benefit. There are still plenty of great photos for purchase and all proceeds go to building another “sick” skatepark here in our fine city. Word has it that the star of GVK will be in attendance along with other skate community folks. Check out the photos on display after the turn. EPM “skate, create, repeat” Out!
When the going gets tough, well, the tough get going. It’s time to build more skateparks folks and here’s your opportunity to contribute and/or get involved. On Thursday, Oct. 4th, from 6-8pm come check out over 60 images for sale in support of the Fernhill Skatepark at Extracto Coffee House. Don’t fret, if you can’t make the opening, the art will be up all month and available for purchase. A mere $35 per print with all proceeds going directly to making Fernhill skatepark a reality. What a deal. Check out the flyer and all the images available for sale after the turn. EPM “less prisons, more skateparks” Out!
Summers, here in the Pacific Northwest, are the perfect time to grab your skate-pole and head out for a bit of relaxation. This week’s Monday Cover skater, Mark Conahan, knows a few good skatin’-holes for catching a bit air, including this quant little spot in Hermiston. Check out a few more pics of Mark reeling away the summer at great Northwest skate spots after the turn.
Congratulations Mark!
A member of the plastic man clan, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Shawn Reinert, tucks a mean air over the hip at the Bass bowl. If you’ve skated with Shawn, you know he likes to keep a bit of air under his board. Need proof? Check out more pics of Shawn floating about the Northwest along with a bonus video after the turn.
Congratulations Shawn!
Get along skate doggies, this skate wagon is heading east in search of concrete pastures. Yep, just like last year’s Tumbleweed tour, we’re on a skate mission that includes stops in Irrigon, Echo, Hermiston, Pendleton, Walla Walla and more. Keep tabs on our adventures via the Earth Patrol Instagram feed. Check out a few pics from last year’s trip after the turn.
EPM “round-up or bust” Out!
You can take the skater out of the Sadlands but you can’t take the Sadlands out of the skater. Case in point, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Keith “K.C.” Cote, putting his Sadland roots to the test on a basketball pole ride in Hermiston. Check out more pics of K.C. adapting to more sick Northwest terrain after the turn.
Congratulations K.C.!
