Seattle’s Hometown She-ros Show up, the Marginal Way
The evolution of a scene starts with a place. Marginal Way is Seattle’s renowned DIY skatepark, tucked in the cavernous industrial maze of Seattle’s SODO district. Like it’s predecessor, Burnside, the park started out with a transition and a pump bump, which I first witnessed about 20 years ago with Jim Ratzman on one hell-ride […]
ROCKSTAR ENERGY OPEN CRUSHED
WORDS BY MIGZY When I heard the first-ever Rockstar Energy Open was coming to Portland, I was beyond stoked. A huge, free event on the waterfront, showcasing the world’s best skaters in the wake of the Paris Olympic Games sounded like a solid come up for PDX. And it was awesome; elite skateboarding event of […]

She just puts her head down and shoots, and keeps shooting! – NORMA IBARRA Olga Aguilar has been shooting photos of non-trad skateboarders since before many of todays young rippers were born.

BURNSIDE IS NEARING MIDDLE AGE! HALLOWEEN 2021 FUN
Lots of dudes dressed up as construction workers, because they didn’t plan a costume and really ARE construction workers. Pretty genius because they can just sleep in their clothes.

SPRING FLING – FDR’s First-Ever Women’s Contest!
It got wild, it got weird- it was fucking wonderful. This wasn’t just a contest, it was a renegade mission by local FDR women to take over the park for a day of music, art and skateboarding. The “Gnar Bar” was constructed on site, and the whole back flow bowl was painted with wild-ass ponies and flaming rainbows. Nine bands performed and there were over 30 artists and vendors. Women and queer/non-binary skaters from all over the country came out and shredded.
HAVING A WHALE OF A (responsible) TIME ON ORCAS!
A killer crew of girls from Portland and Washington gathered together in late June (safely distanced with face masks on hand) and hopped on the ferry in Anacortes to float northwest through the beautiful San Juan Islands. Arrival at the Scott Stamnes skatepark kicked off a full weekend of gnar; grinds, slashes and stylin’ airs.
