Skateboarding and more ….
We have reached the bottom grade in both the shallow and the deep in MC’s backyard bowl. Now it’s just a matter of removing the excess dirt to get the rest of the bowl in shape. Grab a shovel and come on over. Click on the image for a larger view of the 3D cross-eyed pair.
Surprisingly the weather here in the Northwest has been tolerable with respect to precipitation. Having access to a spot like MC’s hide-away doesn’t hurt either. Youngest member of the in-search-of-dry-crete crew, Jack Grover, takes full advantage of these opportunities to shred. It’s all about having fun. Check out a few more shots of Jack doing his thing after the turn.
This is Portland, and if we’re not shoe gazing, we’re bowl gazing. Don’t believe it? Well, check out this week’s edition of foto-friday featuring images captured during the pouring of MC’s bowl. Thanks to Tavita, Tommy, Peter, Aaron, Billy, Burke, Jim, Mike, Tim, Tim, Justin, Mick, and Jack for taking the time to make it right. Cheers!

Sometimes a quadcopter session breaks out at MC’s bowl. That’s exactly what happened earlier this week. Check out MC skating his bowl under heavy skate drone surveillance after the turn. EPM “Marty, where we’re going, we don’t need roads” Out!

Here’s how we rang in the new year with a low-key session at MC’s bowl. It’s a short video shot, edited and produced entirely on an iPhone. An Olloclip fisheye lens attached to the phone along with the 8mm app and iMovie app was all that was required. So if your looking for an econo video editing suite, this just might fit the bill. EPM “no computers were harmed in the making of this video” Out!
It’s a birthday of sorts, it’s been two years since the Dreamland crew finished pouring MC’s bowl. In celebration, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Mark Conahan, lofts an air out of the deep while acknowledging the bowl’s two year anniversary. The fun didn’t stop there. Oh no siree bob. What goes with a bit of air? How about fire! Check out more pics of MC exploring the balance between air and fire along with a bonus cover after the turn.
Congratulations Mark!
Speak softly and skate a big stick; you will go far. Or, at least over the deathbox at MC’s Bowl like this week’s Monday Cover skater, Dan Hughes a.k.a. Northwest Skater. That’s a lot of lumber to loft over the lip in the tightness that is MC’s bowl. Check out a few more pics of Dan dialing the line over the deathbox plus a bonus cover after the turn.
Congratulations Dan!
Who knew that Gomer Pyle would set a skate fashion trend a la the flipped up bill. Maybe all he wanted was a Pepsi? Well, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Noah, makes his own fashion statement during a session at MC’s Bowl by killing it. We took note of this rail grab double-trucker in the shallow and more…. Check it out after the turn.
Congratulations Noah!
Fun, fun, fun. If you like the feel of 8mm film, you’re going to dig 8mm Vintage Camera app for iPhone. With multiple film styles and filters, it’s easy to dial-in the perfect down-sampled look for your next video project. Check out a short clip at MC’s bowl after the turn.
The rain ruled for most of May and is lingering into June but that hasn’t stopped the sessions. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Check out Saumon, Ben, Rick, Chris, and more shredding it up in the gallery.
