Late last month in Portland, Oregon, Daddies Board Shop along with Loaded Boards and Landyachtz hosted the 8th Annual Mt Tabor Downhill Challenge, a weekend event including both an “old-school tuck” downhill race on Saturday and a dancing/freestyle contest on Sunday. I made some photos from the event to share with everybody, so enjoy! Saturday at Mt. Tabor in SE Portland started with a familiar Northwest weather condition, rain. It delayed the event, but only slightly. Most of the 60+ riders were from Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia so they knew the deal. The slight drizzle gave ev ..read more

Tepe and Tacos Photos

Last month, I had the privilege of attending Tepe and Tacos, a downhill freeride skateboarding event in SoCal. This was my first time at the event and I had heard so many great things, so the expectations were high. I was not disappointed. First of all, it’s Tepe—short for Tepesque—not tempeh. So many people slipped on the pronunciation, inadvertently pronouncing the event: Tempeh and Tacos, causing everyone to mis-pronounce it occasionally. Tempeh tacos does sound like a healthy vegan meal, but it was Tepe and Tacos. The event is an annual one organized by Kevin Reimer and sponsored by Powel ..read more

Rachel Bagels: Understanding The Racer Rationale
Skate[Slate]

Have you ever wondered what’s goes through the minds of your fellow skaters;  what motivates them and what pushes them to succeed? Our sport is an incredible community with every kind of person and personality participating.  Skating is something that is so humble, so pure and raw, but can also be a form of competition. Most don’t step on a skateboarding thinking “I’m going to race”, but when the bug bites, it generally stays put.   Josh Evan leads a pack at Verdicchio in Italy. As someone who has raced in the world tour for over 4 years, I learned that everyone attacks this sport ..read more

There, they met up with island locals Angel and Santi, and skated some of the best roads the island had to offer. This trip consisted mostly of chilling by the beach, eating some delicious food, partying way too hard, skating some fucking SICK roads, and honestly barely filming anything. But here is what we got. Please share, like, and all in all, please enjoy ..read more

Patrick Switzer lights up the mainstream marketing world with some close contact downhill versus the new Renault Megane R.S. in Dubai. *Don’t try this at home kids!* But actually, don’t try this at home. This commercial for Renault is lit (littered and on fire) with some rad clips, that are clearly not for everyone to try and emulate. While Patrick Switzer has been on a bit of hiatus from ‘competing’, he does make appearances at a variety of events from Kozakov to Pump Track Challenges while he works on some injury rehab, goes to school, spends time with his partner Tamara, and drinks coffee ..read more
