Started a new group on flickr just for photos of Skateboard Slams!!

Here are a few of the first entries, but please spread the word and submit photos yourself too, we need it to grooooow.

Go Portland!

A great time was had by the small knot of homies that craned their necks between sips of draft Ranier to treat their eyeballs to a mix of nostalgic (bones brigade stuff, chocolate classics including ‘mouse’), historic (skateboard kings, a bbc documentary from 1978) and current (éSpecial) skateboard videos projected with DJ Pat Smith’s selection of skate rock. By the way, Pat’s not afraid to mix out johnny rad’s cliche monologue about not looking too hard for animal chin.

So, the event is a weekly one at Dunes, 1909 NE MLK, and you can keep up to date on here on this blog, or directly on the myspace page

oh yeah, we also highly encourage people to bring videos they own, or have made, or have remixed, etc.
