Lincoln City Trip Day 4

Memorial Day weekend 5 of us got in a van and left Seattle for Lincoln City and even though it was supposed to rain we went anyway. The following is the fourth and last installment (not including video) of what happened.

Monday morning was pack up and go home day. The house worked out great and it was much better than the KOA last year. I slept so much better which is a great reason all on its own.

We couldn’t leave Lincoln City without getting a little bit more skating in because why would you want to leave a good thing if you don’t have to. After a short session we headed north. Of course, we stopped at Newberg, Oregon.

If you haven’t been to Newberg then you owe yourself to give it a go. It’s large and it has a lot of everything. We also met up with some Portland skate pals. Mark Conahan, Rich Burton, along with Steve and Jack Grover. They showed us what was up at Newberg.

Then everyone went to West Linn, Oregon. I hadn’t ever been there and I certainly must go back as I know I haven’t found all the lines. Exhaustion didn’t help either.

One more stop on the way to see the flooded capsule at Vancouver, WA and watch all the bikes and scooter kids, food and then home.

What a great trip! There are far two few photos of day four in this report but having fun skating and being tired will do that to you. Now to get started on video editing which is hard to do when you’d rather be skating. Later!

Go Skateboarding Day

I know I haven’t done the last installment of the Lincoln City trip or for that matter any of the video from that trip and I feel bad about it. Not really. It’s been so nice out that all my free time has been taken up going skating and doing things that don’t involve sitting in front of the computer. Today is no exception.

Today is Go Skateboarding Day and I’m going to do exactly that. As people all over are participating our small little Oh My Back crew are heading out soon to go skate places that we have never been to before. That’s our go skateboarding day plan. What’s yours?
