Skateboarding and more ….
The Northwest is rich in great concrete to skate and the prefect “petri dish” for a new wave of skaters. Case in point, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Carson Edwards, styling a nice backside air on the vert wall at Tigard. Hailing from Siletz, OR, Carson made his mark on this year’s Trifecta by taking 3rd in the Lincoln City Pro division and 5th at Tigard. Check out more pics of Carson getting his skate on after the turn.
Congratulations Carson!
Oh yeah, day one of the 2010 Oregon Trifecta is in the books. Onward to day two and a skatepark where earlier Trifecta’s cut their teeth, West Linn. Come on out and enjoy some great skating. Don’t forget that the fine folks over at GO211 will be streaming the event live starting at 12pm PST today. Yesterday’s event in Lincoln City went off like clock work. See a list of division winners after the turn. EPM “thanks LC, hello WL” Out!
Yes, skate fans, it’s time once again for some skateboarding bedlam, a little mercurial mayhem. Yes, folks, there’s gonna be some crisscross craziness going down at stop one of the 2010 Oregon Trifecta in Lincoln City. If you can’t be there, don’t despair, the folks at GO211 will be streaming live coverage of the event. Now, while you wait for all the zany skate antics, check out some pics from prior Linclon City Trifecta events. EPM “coming in tepid” Out!
The 2009 Pro-Tec Pool Party is in the bag and this week’s Monday Cover skater, Julie Kindstrand, took top honors in the ladies division. Julie shreds the gnar and she does it with style. Case in point, this smooth air off the hip during last year’s Lincoln City stop of the Oregon Trifecta. Check out a few more pics of Julie getting her shred on after the turn.
Congratulations Julie!
This week’s Monday Cover skater, Duane Peters, needs no introduction. There are few people who have had as much of an impact on skateboarders and skateboarding as Duane. Always the innovator and branded “The Master of Disaster”, we can thank Duane for sweepers, lay-back rollouts, invert-reverts and our all-time favorite indy air. We’re hoping this year’s Oregon Trifecta Pier Park stop will entice Duane and the Upland crew to make the trip. Check out few pics of Mr. Peters skating Lincoln City and Pier Park during the 2007 Trifecta after the turn.
Congratulations Duane!
It was hot as a dragon’s breath during the Tigard stop of the 2008 Trifecta but that didn’t stop the pros from just killing it. The field was massive with over 70 skaters competing for the cash. With that many skaters zooming around on fast Dreamland ‘crete, a few mishaps are bound to happen. Aside from a few minor injuries, the contest was a huge success. Pure skateboarding mayhem went down along with some tunes and a few fireworks. Check out over 100 photos from the Pro ranks in the gallery.
Pros @ Tigard – 2008 Trifecta
See the results after the turn.
As promised, here is the massive gallery from the Lincoln City 2008 Trifecta event. If you don’t find yourself in this series, just wait, there are two more posts coming soon for the Tigard and Battle Ground stops. For the sake of your sanity and ours, we left them in psuedo-alphabetical order. Gobble it up.
Lincoln City – 2008 Trifecta
For a nice write-up and more photos, check out SnA’s take on the days events.
This year’s Trifecta included some new faces, case in point, Bruno Passos. Talk about some seriously smooth style, Bruno has it. In addition to taking top honors at the Lincoln City stop, Bruno skated his heart out the entire series and the crowd was digging it. Check out some of Bruno’s antics in the gallery and we hope he includes the 2009 Trifecta in his skate plans for next year. Vivo Bruno!
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.
