With summer in full swing, linking up with the skate team has made shooting photos and filming video clips much easier.  Here in Eugene, Oregon, skating between October and March doesn’t really happen, ever.  As the summer months phase into fall, the rain clouds stake claim to the Willamette Valley and rarely let the sun poke through, making skating extremely difficult.  We’ve got the underground parking lots and several covered mini ramps, but once winter hits, only the die-hard skaters truly make it happen.

Geologic of the Blue Scholars said it perfect: “Out of towners don’t be knowing about the best-kepts.  Ain’t nothing better than the summer in the Northwest.” -The Inkwell

Check out several team riders and friends skating and enjoying the summer.  We know it won’t be long before the dull grey clouds consumer our winter months.
