ATTENTION PORTLAND AREA RIDERS!!!!!
Posted on the 24th Aug at 8:49 PM PST
ATTENTION PORTLAND AREA RIDERS!!!!!
The city of Portland is
planing on building 19 new skate parks. And Chief of Staff Tom Miller
(known skateboarding advocate) has been out spoken about bikes not
being in the parks. Mr. Miller, over 10 years ago before he went
political, was on a comity along side
another skateboarder, and a fellow bmx rider named Dean Dickinson. Here
is a quote from an article written by the wall street journal "Mr.
Miller has publicly opposed letting BMX bikes into skate parks, citing
the risk of biker/skater collisions. That move has drawn the ire of BMX
bike riders. “It’s almost like skaters are the cops now,” says Mr.
Dickinson, the BMXer."
WE ALL know that the collisions are two
sided, one can be paying attention while another will not wait his turn
and end up causing a wreck. Pointing the finger just at BMX riders
shows lack of a brain in Mr. Millers head. You'd think someone with an
education could figure this out.
Us riders must unite to make
our voices heard! If we become lazy and just sit back and bitch and
complain we will not get any right to any of these parks. Its time to
get off your ass and send Tom Miller a nice e-mail letting him know
that what he is doing is very contradictive to what he believes in,
equal rights for all. Don't sit back and let this tool oppress us
riders! Think your too young to e-mail him? Your not! And have your
parents send him a nice e-mail about how he is spending their tax money
and not letting their kids enjoy what they paid for! Tom Miller could
care less about bmx riders and their right to use a public park funded
by tax money! Lets get him out of office!
And
please be respectful! We are all ambassadors to this sport that we all
love. Lets show that we can rise up and be above all this. We all know
he is a tool, he even knows he is a tool, so its already established.
And
while your at it, send mayor Sam Adams a nice e-mail about how he
picked an oppressor for chief of staff. For a guy that's already in
trouble with the law and wont last long, he should be walking on egg
shells with about who is surrounding him. More bad publicity will get
Mr. Miller out of office!
Next got a picture sent to us by Jon Currier of Jesse Leske Boostin at the BoneYard!
I was also contacted by beaverton local James Monsey. They are working on getting some dirt jumps dialed in out there but are looking for people to help! The place is super haggard, but has potential. Good news is no one cares about the bikes there!! So hit up James on myspace if your down to help! Here are some pics..

More skaters litter Pier Park
Posted on the 10th Aug at 6:00 PM PST
Yet again them skateboarders who we all know and love have
discraced the skatepark once again! This past Sunday, a 3 day skate compitition
"trifecta" made its way to Pier Park. Well I showed up this morning
expecting to see chaos.. and I was right as normal.. Well like before, I
have contacted the City of Portland's Park Supervisor. They will be charged a
fine for the litter and disposal fee of garbage. And posablly banned from next
years Portland Parks. I personally agree, and hope they follow through and
teach them a lesson. Here are the pictures.
Also on another anti skate post haha, I was sent this link to a Skate Park Myth Buster site haha. check it out HERE. Skateboard only parks that are heavily monitored by cops and rangers, And a guy took pics of the damage. NO bikes are present in these parks and
yet damage still occurs? HOW? Well, maybe its actually skaters! But how could they, they are above
all in the alternative sport world. "In the words of Dan" THE MYTH IS PROVEN WRONG!!!!!
SKATEBOARDS CAUSE JUST AS MUCH DAMAGE!!!!!!!

All this is going on after 6:00PM when the drunken skaters come out.. So if you see stuff like this, the Officer advised me, along with everyone else to make an anonymous phone call to 911!

A weekend in Carlton
Posted on the 1st Jun at 12:06 PM PST
Went to Carlton this weekend to help Sage Howard out with getting things done before the big jam this Sunday the 7th. Let me tell you. He is getting this place so insanely dialed! You would not believe. I've never seen anybody do so much work in my entire life! This guy was working from 7 in the morning to 11 at night just full force non stop all day! So make sure you thanks Sage! Look at this guy...
Wheel barrel after wheel barrel load. Over and over again! These jumps are looking good now!
Here is what the wood section looks like! I could ride this section all day! I love it! You'll see me at the jam shredding this more then anything for sure. ha ha ha Check it out....
Apparently Sage knows how to air out over a two story house....
Check out this x-up. Damn Sage!
Yeah as you can see pretty much Sage Howard is the man! little breaks that he takes he just annihilates everything. When he works his ass off he just straight up annihilates everything too!
Matt Reckless is one of the main guys behind it all. No big deal really.
I hope to see you all at the jam this weekend. Now that you know what Carlton has to offer. I know for a fact that you all will have a great time for sure!

Chester Blacksmith Checks In
Posted on the 26th May at 9:45 AM PST
Well Chester Blacksmith has been in Germany for the past two months and
took the time to give a quick interview and Bike check for us! Thanks
Chet.
PortlandRiders: So your currently in Germany, what are you up to out in Europe?
Chet: Right now i am working of a video section for wethepeople,
Shooting ad's for 2010 stuff and having a good time traveling and
seeing new places. This trip has been really good so far. Wild times
and some really good laughs!
PortlandRiders: Do you get hassled as much in Europe as you do in the States for riding?
Chet: Not even close. We ride every spot that we want and hardly
ever get kicked out or deal with security. I have been here for 2
months now and have not talked to one cop. The spots are really good
and almost never a bust.
PortlandRiders: Well we heard your heading down to Cali, how much are you gonna miss P-town and all your friend out here? Chet: No I'm not! i can't go to Cali. I have a warrant for my arrest,
for grinding a hand rail in long beach. But that is a whole other
story. I do miss my friends in Portland a lot! Those guy's get me syked
to ride. I miss that. I will be home real soon.
PortlandRiders: Give us a wild bmx story that's happened to you in the past year. Chet: I went on a shit luck trip last November. Me and Cam Wood were
checking out some spots in Nashville TN. Cam pointed out this Kinked
ledge that had a good square rail on the side of it. I thought that it
would be a good rail ride next to the ledge. So after about 3 trys i
needed to pull it so we could move on. The cops keep driving by and it
was getting sketchy. So on the last try I rode the rail perfect off the
end. When i landed on the ground i herd a big thud, Like metal hitting
the ground. I thought it was my bike or something but in stead it was
the kinked rail. It had fallen off the ledge as soon as i landed. We
packed up the camera's and ran Just in time for the cops to drive by

As you can see the dirt setup is amazing! Sage Howard has been putting in a lot of work up there this spring. Caleb Ruecker has been putting in a lot of work as well. Not only is the Dirt amazing but the ramp setup is really fun too! The ramps are made out of wood and they are so fun to do maneuvers on! I know that if you come down you will have fun!
Also note that Helmets are required.
I hope to see you there!

The Forest Grove Jam was a success! It was definitely a really great time and really chill. Nobody felt that they had to live up to any reputations or anything like that!
David Joy Manualing around the whole park! Thats why everyone is staring at it! ha ha ha
Dialing in my bike before the shredding began. I had to do work to get that bike to ride good! Mike Jones just strait up chillin. How nice of him to wait for me.
But you gotta give credit to Jon Menuier for driving us all the way out there supplying us with a ride, food, snacks, rootbeer and water and also a good time. He took these photos as well. Thanks Jon. Very Greatly appreciated! It was one of the best days ever! Ps. BFC Was Shredding!
