The annual Oregon Trifecta was held last weekend and Chaz entered the Lincoln City leg coming in 4th and just beating out Rune. What did you do last weekend?

Transworld put on an interesting contest called Skate & Create. The rules of the contest is teams get five skaters, a filmer, a photographer, and an art director to come up with the most creative set up they can and document it all for the magazine. Osiris shoes participated with the Circus Of Freaks featuring Corey Duffel, Caswell Berry, Jimmy Carlin, John Rattray, and our very own ring leader Shuriken Shannon. Check out the footage here!

Don’t believe me? Check out the proof in the newest Skatebook presented by Mike Ballard and formed SOTY Salman Agah.

Quicksilver hosted a contest called “All 80’s All Day” featuring plywood ramps, 80’s boards, and sweet outfits. Lucero caught the action on his point and shoot.

Just seen this over at skatedaily.net. Legendary Bones Brigader Ray Underhill just passed away. Ray was a good guy and will be missed.

For those of you that don’t know the legendary park in Huntington Beach CA. is being torn down soon so the school can renovate the near by track and football field. (And to get rid of those rotten skateboarders!) I heard it was the final day last thursday so I went to get my final licks in and I was stoked to see the mayor of HB park ripping it up! I mean none other than Ed Templeton. I even ran into Blair and Mike Fitz from Transworld and they took me out to dinner afterward. (thanks for the pizza and beer guys!) This park opened in 1994 and it’s seen more action than most parks that are way bigger and possibly way better. Sure it was a small stupid excuse for a skatepark, but it sure was fun and it will be missed. -Nagy
