Desert West face lift.






Arizonas first skate park got a face lift for Cowtown skateshops 10th anniversary PHX AM contest. California skateparks added a new extension with peep hole and a poured concrete lip as well as removing the old pyramid and replacing it with a much larger one that has hubbas, rails, euro gaps and stairs. The contest was sick as usual with Ben Hatchell winning it with blunt kick flip fakie and 540s on the extension! Well deserved. We went back the following weekend to check it out for ourselves and had a blast. The kids are still figuring out the flow as they take advantage of the street obstacles but are afraid to step to the bigger transitions. This creates a bit of a smash factor as you will have to eventually dodge people standing at the bottom of the trannies waiting to hit ledges or the pyramid. Being it was a weekend made it a lot more crowded as well. The park is super fun again and is definately a must hit if your coming to town. Cowtown has done a rad job in showing love to the O.G. spot with the addition of a bowl a few years back built by Shaggy and the Grindline crew, this with the new additions make it stand out from the rest of the parks in AZ. See you out there, Baker.

New Portland indoor spot!! Concrete?! YES!!!!!

Willis Kimble



Willis Rips! Hands down!! Even when he's just messing around, he's ripping, as seen here with a simple tail skidder at Burnside. Weather he's doing kickflip backside airs in a backyard bowl or a slappie grind at the local curb, he's still having more fun than you. Maybe its the good taste in music? Whatever it is, its always FUN!!!

JUICE



The JUICE crew down in Venice, CA have come out with a new issue full of all kinds of neat stuff, including an interview with Shaggy. They were also nice enough to give Shaggy the cover that Him and I shot a little while ago. Stoked on my first legit cover shot. This is Shaggy 2nd cover in the past year!! (JUICE, SAUCE) Congrats Shag on some ripping skating and building!!!

NoPo Mini Ramp Tour

As notorious as the great northwest is at building outdoor concrete pits, portland is notorious for gnarly ass, crammed-in-as-tight-as-we-can-get-em mini ramps. I took a mini tour yesterday of a few of what North Portland has to offer.




Looking more like an airwalk than a judo, Chris Nukula throws one up under the Freemont Bridge



Jason Gregory lost his AZ permatan but keeps a proper lien at Swami's




Getting sweet on Swami's French Tickler coping, Nukes lays out a sugarcane




When you grow up roaming the same streets as G.G. Allin, I guess you're going to be inspired to build a four four foot ramp with a four foot tranny. Tartsa rolls in on his latest creation.
