Skateboarding and more ….
Summer sessions are on their way and if last week’s warm winter temperatures are any indication of things to come, it’s going to be a hot one. Speaking of hot sessions, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Owen Nieder, stands one up during a scorcher at Pier Park. Check out more pics of Owen sampling Pier Park after the turn.
Congratulations Owen!
This week’s Monday Cover skater, Owen Nieder, tail stalls the hip at Pier Park, a spot on the coping that not many folks have ventured. In contrast to 21st century Owen, be sure to check out 20th century Owen as captured by BK. There are more pics of Owen having his way with Pier after the turn.
Congratulations Owen!
Each year about this time, Portland becomes the epicenter of planetary skateboarding activity. The attraction is anchored around the annual Oregon Trifecta followed by the Dew Tour, not to mention all the great skateparks and a city that embraces skateboarding. That brings us to Owen Nieder, a skater that takes full advantage of the skate surroundings while visiting our fine city. One of his favorite spots to skate is Pier Park. Check out Owen sampling one of Portland’s skatepark gems after the turn.
The mouse hole was getting worked during a recent session at Pier Park. Chris Miller, Andy Macdonald, Owen Nieder, Zach Miller and Rion Linderman dropped in for session with the locals. Not since the 2007 Trifecta has the mouse hole been worked so heavily. Chris rolled over the hole frontside at will and Andy took it both ways. Chris’ son, Zach, landed a few kick-flips over the hole and everyone was stoked to skate. Check out a gallery and some video of the session after the turn.
