Mandatory Coverage: Oregon Bi-Fecta

Day 1: Tigard Though usually a three-stop tour, this year's Trifecta was downgraded to a Bi-fecta due to the cancellation of the Lincoln City stop. It makes the most sense to blame the economy, though this is probably not actually why. The first stop took over Tigard Skatepark on August 8, 2009. Rather than naming tricks and skaters, I will just say, the skating was ridiculous and here are a bunch of pictures. Pro Results 1. Kevin Kowalski 2. Mason Huggins 3. Josh Mattson (Click on the thumbnails to enlarge and scroll through.) [gallery=35] Day 2: Pier Park It was a totally different competition at Pier Park. The 11 foot…

Dodgeball with the Weena Man

Cory Grove has done many things over his life, and while you may know him for his role feeding hungry campers Cobra Dogs during the summers, that has led to his latest passion. Cory is the premier dodgeball player in Government Camp. Each session of High Cascade, campers feel the wrath of the Weena Man as he pummels them with dodgeballs. But what drives Grove to be the best at dodgeball?

Hump Day Goes Jersey with Shayne Pospisil

Just hanging out in his snowboard pants and flip flops. Obviously. Photo: Souney As far as most snowboarders today are concerned, snowboarding has no past. And it doesn’t need to. Right now, riding with your friends and doing your thing is the best snowboarding has ever been. Ever. But allow me to dwell on the past for a minute, because it is when I first came across Shayne Pospisil. It was the late 90s and Okemo, VT was the place to be. With one of the best pipes and parks in Vermont, it was home to tons of riders who were all sure to be big the next big thing,…

Viva Las Portland: The Videograss Premiere

Do you like watching people ride rails that no one else ever thought about snowboarding on? Do you think grabbing before rails is awesome? Do you like Rock and Roll? Then you'll probably like Videograss. We'll have a full review of the movie sometime in the near future, but for now, here's a gallery of images from the semi-star-studded Videograss premiere in Portland. [gallery=33]

High Fives with Todd Richards- Michael Jackson!

This week's topic for High Fives was set to be health care for all, but you may have noticed Michael Jackson's recent death has taken a front row in the news these days. As millions mourned and flocked to the memorial service, the news networks had trouble concentrating on anything else. And if CNN and Fox can't talk about real news, why should we? Besides, upon hearing of MJ's death, the real question on everyones minds, what does Todd Richards think? 1) How did the recent passing of MJ affect you personally? Well, I can no longer tell the joke: what is the difference between Michael Jackson and a bag…

Nick and Sarah go on a Date

A while back we said Sarah Morrison was too cool for us. Well that doesn't mean we're not still friends and that when she comes to visit we can't make her do funny things like go on a blind date with Nick Lipton. We've had other "Nick and Sarah" collaborations in the past (different Nick) but I would say this is the best one yet. So enjoy a trip to every one's favorite Portland eatery, Applebees, with Nick and Sarah.
