Skateboarding and more ….
If you like big lofty airs and fast surf style skating, Greyson Fletcher has you covered. A newcomer to the Trifecta circuit, Greyson quickly became a crowd favorite with his go-for-it attitude and some of the biggest ollies you will ever see. Check out a few pics of Greyson catching some concrete waves after the turn.
The Northwest is rich in great concrete to skate and the prefect “petri dish” for a new wave of skaters. Case in point, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Carson Edwards, styling a nice backside air on the vert wall at Tigard. Hailing from Siletz, OR, Carson made his mark on this year’s Trifecta by taking 3rd in the Lincoln City Pro division and 5th at Tigard. Check out more pics of Carson getting his skate on after the turn.
Congratulations Carson!
Oh yeah, day one of the 2010 Oregon Trifecta is in the books. Onward to day two and a skatepark where earlier Trifecta’s cut their teeth, West Linn. Come on out and enjoy some great skating. Don’t forget that the fine folks over at GO211 will be streaming the event live starting at 12pm PST today. Yesterday’s event in Lincoln City went off like clock work. See a list of division winners after the turn. EPM “thanks LC, hello WL” Out!
Yes, skate fans, it’s time once again for some skateboarding bedlam, a little mercurial mayhem. Yes, folks, there’s gonna be some crisscross craziness going down at stop one of the 2010 Oregon Trifecta in Lincoln City. If you can’t be there, don’t despair, the folks at GO211 will be streaming live coverage of the event. Now, while you wait for all the zany skate antics, check out some pics from prior Linclon City Trifecta events. EPM “coming in tepid” Out!
Oh yeah, that’s your X Games 16 Skateboard Park bronze medal winner and this week’s Monday Cover skater, Kevin Kowalski, mid-madonna at Lincoln City. Growing up skating some of the world’s best skate terrain has its benefits and Kevin takes full advantage. Welcome to the Northwest skate nexus, let the shredding begin. Check out more pics of Kevin including a sequence after the turn.
Congratulations Kevin!
Central Oregon coast local and heavy shredder, Kevin Kowalski, is in the mix at X Games XVI. Kevin qualified in the 3rd position for Sunday’s Skateboard Park Finals. So be sure to check it out and root-on Seal Rock, Oregon’s favorite skateboarding son. In the meantime, enjoy a few sequences of Kevin man-handling the Lincoln City snake run.

The Skaters for Lincoln City Skateparks and the Dreamland crew have been busy. Phase V of the concrete mecca that is the Lincoln City Skatepark is finished and the jury says: “the best just got better.” A skate track, square bowl with curb spine, and other various phase transition elements are now ready for your shredding consideration. Check out way too many pics of the park in the gallery below. Also, please consider donating to the Skaters for Lincoln City Skateparks to help support a great skate community and the continued evolution of the park.

The 2009 Pro-Tec Pool Party is in the bag and this week’s Monday Cover skater, Julie Kindstrand, took top honors in the ladies division. Julie shreds the gnar and she does it with style. Case in point, this smooth air off the hip during last year’s Lincoln City stop of the Oregon Trifecta. Check out a few more pics of Julie getting her shred on after the turn.
Congratulations Julie!
This week’s Monday Cover skater, Duane Peters, needs no introduction. There are few people who have had as much of an impact on skateboarders and skateboarding as Duane. Always the innovator and branded “The Master of Disaster”, we can thank Duane for sweepers, lay-back rollouts, invert-reverts and our all-time favorite indy air. We’re hoping this year’s Oregon Trifecta Pier Park stop will entice Duane and the Upland crew to make the trip. Check out few pics of Mr. Peters skating Lincoln City and Pier Park during the 2007 Trifecta after the turn.
Congratulations Duane!
It’s time, once again, for another Foto-Friday. This week, we travel North to Battle Ground for a mid-Winter session. Believe it or not, it’s difficult deciding which direction to head from Portland now that we have some great skate options: North to Battle Ground, South to Newberg, East to Hood River or West to Lincoln City. Bummer, huh? Oh well, somebody has to make the tough decisions. Check out all the pics in the gallery below.
