Puppies!

I've spent the last few days of my life at Nike Migration. Some of it involved amazing free food. Most of it was time I can not get back. If you care about Migration, check back later and maybe I'll write something, or better yet, read my intern's blog. It's way funnier than what I would come up with anyway. INTERN BLOG HERE For now though, I will just touch on my favorite part of migration which was puppies! I have no idea who this guy is, but he has tats and is drinking Busch. He must be extreme! This was by far the cutest puppy. I thought about buying…

J-Sak, the exclusive interview

Last night I blew off a skate mission to watch the Bachelorette finale. It was a good decision, because as it turns out, J-sak won! I don't personally know Jesse, in fact, my first impression was that he was not doing the sport of snowboarding any service by claiming to be a pro snowboarder, but after watching the whole season, well, I got a little tear in my eye as he proposed and she accepted! So what better way to celebrate than by getting an exclusive interview, with his friend Nate. How do you know Jesse? He’s a childhood friend of mine, originally from Ohio. We used to snowboard together.…

America Rules!

I was going to do a 4th of July post for 4th of July weekend, but I think I've come up with something even better. You see this weekend, I took advantage of what's truly great about this country. I am very opposed to being in debt, spending money I don't have, etc. This tends to make me totally cheap about things. But for some reason, the one thing I am willing to spend money on is my house, and I recently decided to bite the bullet and get all new windows and doors for the place. I planned on just paying for them out of savings then "paying myself…

Making Dreams Happen

Now that I've finally made it (please see my interview referenced below) , I feel like it is only right to pass my success on to others. Yesterday intern and I went to Glenhaven to do "research" for the go211 spot checks we are working on. I had my little point and shoot camera and was randomly snapping shots, when i suddenly realized one of the young kids who was ripping seemed to be purposely doing so for me to take photos of him. The photoshoot turned into a video shoot and intern said he "was going to get all Jon Holland on this shit!" Our new friend Kyle was…

My Big Break

I don't really need to go into much explanation, because the interview really says it all. I was recently contacted to do said interview, which is sort of amazing, given the fact that I am a minor action sports internet celebrity at best. But I had fun with it. Go Read.

Waking

Yesterday I took intern boating. Well, more specifically wakeskating behind Silas's Nike-wrapped boat. We tried to convince him that Phil Knight owned the boat, but I don't think he bought it. Anyway, since he's interning for pretty much the only wakeskate specific publication out there, I figured it was probably appropriate that he actually try the sport. He drove the boat, and Silas's truck and commented that it was a bit odd the unpaid intern was in control of such high ticket items. But I believe in trial by fire, and I must say he did quite well. He got up on a wakeskate first try, with no instruction, and…

Slo (Down) Bar

I have really been slacking on this lunch blog thing, but what with my busy schedule, I just haven't had time to seek out new, awesome spots, and no one really wants to read about Panera Bread. But today I ventured to an old favorite, Slo Bar. What I didn't take into consideration was this: Yeah, that's my favorite meal in Portland on the cover of the magazine read by all the wealthy and obnoxious Lake Oswego-types. So I go in, order my burger, and sit back excited to dine in the company of a few hipsters. But then I notice the people walking in. Three old ladies who are…

My What a Busy Week!

Today is officially the longest day of the year, go skateboarding day, and a host of other exciting things, but honestly, I am beat. I am sitting here watching Scrubs and it's so fun. But never fear, I will skateboard in a bit. For now, here's why I am so tired. My intern started this week. Now cue the "you have an intern, what does he do?" Well, he does a lot actually, most of it centering around social networking, which as it turns out IS a great tool to grow traffic. I met Nick at Mt. Hood Meadows this season and he jumped over a kid for me to…

TEXAS

I spent this weekend in the great state of Texas. Even though it is enormous, Texas was actually one of the last states I crossed off my list in the quest for all 50 (I only have a Hawaii to go). But in the past two years I've been back there something like four times. Funny how that works. Anyway, this weekend I was down for a little wakeskate contest at the Texas Ski Ranch, a.k.a. the Disneyland of extreme sports. It's a cable park, skatepark, motocross park, dirt bike track, boat lake, skate shop, etc etc etc. There is also a bar and wireless internet, so in short, it…
