Skateboarding and more ….
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, Riley Boland, opted for the line less traveled during 2010 Oregon Trifecta. Here he is bean planting off of the back of the tombstone at Lincoln City. Check out a few more pics of Riley’s extension dives after the turn along with a bonus video.
Congratulations Riley!
This year’s Trifecta saw the addition of an amateur division for the younger generation of skaters. We are guessing that the amateur division is here to stay as a part of the annual event based on the positive feedback. Speaking of positive feedback, check out Shea, Sean and more shredding it up during the Lincoln City stop of 2010 Oregon Trifecta after the turn. EPM “little shredders coming to get you” 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!
If ever there’s a role for a young skateboarding Joaquin Phoenix, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Michael O’Friel just might fit the bill. Here he is styling a frontside nose grind at the West Linn stop of the 2010 Oregon Trifecta. Michael is another benefactor of great Northwest concrete and he takes full advantage. Check out Michael copping some serious “shred-itude” after the turn.
Congratulations Michael!
The Northwest is chock full of skate talent and this week’s Monday Cover skater, Sky Siljeg, is at the forefront. Here he is “styling out” a frontside air during the West Linn stop of the 2010 Oregon Trifecta. Weaned on some of the best concrete parks on the planet, Sky’s skating is saturated with soul. Check out more pics of Sky doing what he does best after the turn.
Congratulations Sky!
Unlike the legendary Tantanoola Tiger, this Aussie cat is for real as well as this week’s Monday Cover skater. It’s RJ Barbaro, floating either a half-cab or frontside ollie-to-fakie during the West Linn stop of the 2010 Oregon Trifecta. RJ was on track to take the overall Trifecta title had it not been for a pre-contest injury at Tigard. Check out more pics of RJ tearing it up after the turn and hopefully, we’ll see him at next year’s event.
Congratulations RJ!
Going all GSD on the banked wall at Tigard during the 2010 Oregon Trifecta is, Team Power Rider member and this week’s Monday Cover skater, Jeff Taylor. A true family man on a live-life-to-its-fullest plan, Jeff lets his skating do the talking. Check out some more pics of Jeff getting it done after the turn.
Congratulations Jeff!
At times, judging is a thankless job, so we would like to take this opportunity to thank this year’s Trifecta judges, Tom “Wally” Inouye, Mike Taylor, and the original “Steve-O” Steve Brockway (pictured above along with local Lincoln City shredder, Shea.) Also, be sure to check out the fruits of their labor, the 2010 Oregon Trifecta Results over at World Cup Skateboarding. EPM “thanks again dudes” Out!
If you like big lofty airs and fast surf style skating, Greyson Fletcher has you covered. A newcomer to the Trifecta circuit, Greyson quickly became a crowd favorite with his go-for-it attitude and some of the biggest ollies you will ever see. Check out a few pics of Greyson catching some concrete waves after the turn.
