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!
Holy glucosamine chondroitin, talk about your tuck knee air. This week’s Monday Cover skater, Shawn Reinert, goes beyond tuck knee at the recently finished Colorado Springs ramp. Check out a few more pics of Shawn tearing up his state-of-origin terrain after the turn.
Congratulations Shawn!
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!
We found Paul Bunyan’s helmet and it’s in Polson, Montana. No kidding, Dreamland built the worlds only skateable helmet, as far as we know, and it’s a blast. Check out Jason, Jeff, Shawn M., Shawn R., M.C. and K.C. finding their lines inside of this monument to head safety along with a few bonus shots after the turn. EPM “we can skate if we want to” Out!
Seasons are in transition and so to are the board sport enthusiasts. Case in point, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Shawn Reinert, will soon swap out snow for concrete in search of frigid air of a different kind. Check out more pics of Shawn working his warm weather quiver after the turn.
Congratulations Shawn!
Last Friday evening, the local skate community came out to support an art exhibit and benefit for Above Coping, a non profit organization dedicated to providing support and new experiences for youth skateboarders with chronic health conditions. EPIC Indoor Skatepark provided the perfect environment for the kids to shred as well as expose themselves to the fine art of Tyler ‘Junior’ Cole, Shawn ‘Little Bob’ Reinert and Randy ‘Kilwag’ Gawlik. Check out a few images from the evening after the turn. EPM “thriving, not just surviving” Out!
This week’s Monday Cover skater, Mike Barnes, opts for the line less traveled during the 2010 Oregon Trifecta. Stretching out a frontside invert through the corner at Tigard, Mike makes an insanely difficult move look routine. Check out a few more pics of Mike chilling “Darkness style” at this year’s Trifecta after the turn.
Congratulations Mike!
Uhhh, yeah, a bit of flexibility is required along with some, as our spanish speaking friends say, cojones when pulling tuck knee airs like this one in the deep at Pier Park. It’s just another day at the office for this week’s Monday Cover skater, Shawn Reinert. Check out more pics of Shawn venturing into rare air after the turn.
Congratulations Shawn!
What you, what you want? Corner airs at Pier Park? You’ve got it. Check out Shawn and MC reconnecting with an old friend after the turn.
