skate trip

decided to get off the couch (for a change) and went to some skate parks. Oregon is well known for having the craziest parks, they are also in the middle of a project that will give the Portland area 19 skate parks. so this place will be off the hook soon. There is also Burnside, which is crazier and harder to skate than you could ever imagine.
But there are also really huge and ridiculous parks all over Oregon. So we went on a little trip to see what these parks had to offer. To make a long story short, the parks offered huge transitions, crazy lay outs and burnt out red necks. Most of the time I got to the parks saw that they had no street stuff to skate and would then go to the shade and drink some beers. Basically a dream come true for an old people who are as burnt out as i am.
Luckily one of the parks was located in Lincoln City, which is conveniently located right on the Oregon coast. so when we (they) we done skating, and i was done relaxing, we went to the beach just in time for an epic sunset and a polar bear style swim in the Ocean. we then went to a sick ass camp site and slept under the stars. it was well worth the time. and here are some shots to prove it.

I also threw a couple shots from a recent skate mission around Portland. jumping fences to watch other people skate that time.
