Skateboarding and more ….
The groundhog has prognosticated six more weeks of winter but baby, baby, baby, it’s not bringing us down. Like a bunch of London girls, skaters here know how to squeeze out a session during breaks in the weather. Check out Jessie, Jack, Gordon, Grover and MC along with their petrol-phobic skates tearing up Newberg and MC’s bowl after the turn. EPM “into the future” Out!

There’s a saying, the apple doesn’t fall from the tree. Well, this week’s installment of Foto-Friday presents photographic evidence that there just might be some truth in that statement. Check out Grover (the tree) and son Jack (the apple) as they enjoy a weekend of skating along the Oregon Coast.
Well, you only have three weeks to get ready for this year’s edition of Sleestock. It’s all going down at the Hood River skatepark on the weekend of June 5, 6 and 7. Check out of few pics of Jack, Grover, MC and more getting some pre-stock stoke at H.R. in the gallery.

We took advantage of the good weather and headed out to Newberg for a mid-winter day session. Kathleen and Jack, progeny of MC and Grover, respectively, joined us on our adventure. In addition to getting their skate on, Kathleen took best helmet honors while Jack ran away with the Star Wars t-shirt division. Check out larger versions of the pics after turn.
Who else but Grover would skate around the decks of Pier Park with a baby carriage? Truly a family that skates together, well, they skate together. Check out a few more pics of Skate Dad Grover after the turn. Now that’s some hardcore commitment to skateboarding. EPM out!
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey. This week’s Monday Cover, Steve Grover, hopes this ramp is in his backyard before the next winter day. OK, that’s a bad attempt at tweaking some Mamas and Papas lyrics but it’s true. Grover is stoked about the opportunity to possibly own the Hood River vert ramp. So stoked in fact that he hand delivered his bid to the City of Hood River. Keep your fingers crossed Portland vert ramp lovers. Check out a few more pics after the turn.
Congratulations Grover!
The weather is starting turn here in the Northwest and raindrop dodging is back in vogue. Check out Jack, Grover and MC as they session Newberg between the intermittent sprinkles.
Every skater pays some dues along the way, some more than others. It’s a part of what we do. Recently, Jack made a deposit into his newly opened account with the Bank of Skateboarding. Every little bit counts. Check out Grover and Jack as they invest in their local institution of shredding after the turn. EPM Out!
Skaters are busy getting ready for this weekend’s 2008 Trifecta series; stops include Lincoln City-OR on Friday, Tigard-OR on Saturday and Battle Ground-WA on Sunday. Check out Nolan, Nora, Shawn, Salba, MC, Adrian, Grover, Jack, Brad and more during yesterday’s evening session at Battle Ground.
He’s back. It’s been six weeks since Grover broke his shoulder at Lincoln City and it seems to be healed. So what does one do while they are on the mend? The answer to that question and more after the turn. Welcome back Big Baby.
