It seems this week’s Monday Cover skater, Tim Eberly, might hail from Krypton with moves like this one. That’s one lofty ollie over the hip at West Linn. Mild mannered minus the black frame glasses while pulling super feats of dexterity, that’s Tim. Check out a few more pics of Tim shredding about after the turn.
Congratulations Tim!
Here’s a snap from yesterday’s park slalom event at West Linn. Wally “fans out” on Tim Eberly floating over the hip. Good times. Thanks to Skate Legion, Mike Estes, Tom “Wally” Inouye, and crew for some skateboarding fun in the sun. Check out a larger image after the turn.
This is a public service announcement on Earth Patrol. Know your rights or at least a couple of skate related events going down this weekend.

Park slalom at West Linn skatepark is a go! The action takes place on Saturday, May 8th so you have a little under a month to get those trucks loosened and lines dialed. Registration is set for 11 a.m. preceded by an open course practice at 9 a.m. sharp. Save the date and we’ll see you in the cone field. Check out all the details on the flier after the turn. EPM “rubbing” Out!
Better late than never. Closing out our 2008 Trifecta coverage is the Pro division of the final stop in Battle Ground, WA.

See the results after the turn.
Dru, Gabe, Jake and Zach have been getting their shred-on at some great Oregon Skateparks. It’s good to see up-and-coming shredders digging on the big walls. Check out all the pics from Tigard, Seaside, Astoria, Cannon Beach, Lincoln City, Newberg and West Linn after turn. Also, kudos to the parents for sharing in their kids’ interests and thanks for the photos.
Last Saturday was February 16th. What’s so special about February 16th, you ask? Well, it’s the day two skate crews, one in the Southwest and the other in the Northwest, attempted to skate 16 parks in a single day. Get the scoop on the Southwest crew’s adventures over at Old Man Army; it was their big idea.
The Northwest crew focused their efforts on skateparks in and around Portland, OR. It was an exhausting adventure for sure and the concept proved to be more romantic than the actual implementation. Come along on the sixteen park tour after the turn….
Skate softly and ride a big stick like this week’s Monday Cover featured skater Steev Howell. Here Steev does his sponsor, Sector Nine, proud while lofting a big frontside air between runs at the West Linn Park Slalom – note the cones in the bowl.
Congratulations Steev and keep killin’ it!
It’s a wrap. The second annual West Linn Park Slalom is in the books and we have a few pictures from a great day of fun. Hats off to Tom Inouye and Mike Estes for once again hosting the event. See more pics and some prose after the turn ….
