I went to the closest stop in Tigard. The skating was rad, the heat was not. All I have to say is thank god for live webcasts. Here&#8217;s some &#8220;coverage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4460.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-277\" title=\"Trannysaurus Rex\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4460.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"915\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is what inspired me to finally get out my camera. Apparently it also inspired Skate and Annoy to go get in my shot, but what can you do. I don&#8217;t fuck with the old man skate media. Anyway, the dinosaur is sort of silly, but it does make for neat pictures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4472.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-278\" title=\"Crash!\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4472.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"887\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This shot really sums up Trifecta. As if the skateboarding itself isn&#8217;t enough of a challenge, lets add in five other people trying to do the exact same thing. After awhile the collisions get old, and it always sucks to see someone carted away on a stretcher because of it, but these dudes were both fine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4486.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-279\" title=\"Schreech\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4486.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Depending on who you ask, Schreech is either what&#8217;s wrong with skateboarding, or its saviour. This weekend he spent a lot of time puking on the park. Dave Duncan seemed stoked. Most people were just confused. It seemed like it may have been a gimmick (and if you saw his skating with the barbie doll in his hand a couple years ago, you&#8217;d know he should know gimmicks are cool) but I don&#8217;t know if he deserves that much credit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4495.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-280\" title=\"handplant\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4495.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"611\" height=\"465\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You may see a similar shot to this elsewhere. That&#8217;s because as soon as he started trying, every other camera in the park came over to get the shot too. Oh well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4518.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-281\" title=\"Johnny\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/img_4518.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"898\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s what this giant wall is for!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the video:<br \/>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/pjsKFhxNsS8\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/pjsKFhxNsS8\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oregon Trifecta happened.
