Skateboarding and more ….
One part East coast, one part West coast, along with equal amounts of surfing and skating, and you share some roots with this week’s Monday Cover skater, Wes Cording. Talk about style and smooth skating, Wes has it all as evident by this frontside tail block on a hip at West Linn. Check out a few more pics of Wes after the turn.
Congratulations Wes!
What time is it? Why it’s Dew-fecta time! Yep, it’s true, the Dew Tour and Oregon Trifecta have a love child and we’re calling it Dew-Fecta. Details related to the Dew Tour aspects of the event are a bit fuzzy but there’s no doubt that the Pier Park and West Linn stops will be full on skateboarding mayhem for the skate loving masses. Check out the flier after the turn. EPM “simply stoked” Out!
Charging to the finish, during the 4th Annual West Linn Park Slalom, is this week’s Monday Cover skater, Evan Potter. Competing with the 13-15 year olds, 10 year old Evan handled the course with ease on his way to winning the division. Keep the stoke little man and stay tuned for more coverage of the days events.

If it’s style points you want, look to this week’s Monday Cover skater, Pat Ngoho, for the epitome of style. Making it look effortless, Pat rock-n-rolls the hip at West Linn during the 2010 Oregon Trifecta. Check out more pics of Pat shredding it up after the turn.
Congratulations Pat!
What time is it? Well, it’s time to begin another year of Monday Covers here on Earth Patrol. We start our fifth year of covers with our Monday Cover poster skater of sorts, Mr. Donovan Rice. This marks the fourth time that Donovan has snagged issue one, so to speak, and we are proud to continue the tradition. Check out more pics of Donovan styling about the lip after the turn.
Congratulations Donovan!
This week’s Monday Cover skater, Ben Johnson, adds a little Texas tongue flair to a lofty lien air. Ben is the consummate shredder and not even the deep gnar of West Linn can contain him. Check out a few more pics of Ben at the 2010 Oregon Trifecta after the turn.
Congratulations Ben!
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.

Congratulations Mike!
