X Games 3D: The Review

You wouldn’t think a giant corporation such as ESPN would be able to create a movie that succinctly sums up the passions involved in action sports. A 90-minute experience that could make anyone understand exactly why we all got into them in the first place. And you know what? You’d be right. X Games 3D: The Movie was so far from being about action sports it’s hard to believe they were even a part of it. The film follows several of the X Games's “stars” through their journey to perform on the self-proclaimed biggest and most important stage in the world, two years ago. The only thing more prevalent than…

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…

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.

A 90-minute experience that could make anyone understand exactly why we all got into them in the first place. And you know what? You’d be right. X Games 3D: The Movie was so far from being about action sports it’s hard to believe they were even a part of it. The film follows several of the X Games's “stars” through their journey to perform on the self-proclaimed biggest and most important stage in the world, two years ago. The only thing more prevalent than…

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…

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.

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,…

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.
