I love concrete skateparks! I love 'em so much I moved to Oregon - and that was before I even started skating. I used to be obsessed with taking pictures of the parks - until I bought a video camera. :) Now I shoot and edit skateboarding videos with the help of the rest of the Wall of Gray crew. We've created dozens of skateboarding videos, and you can watch them all right here. Just, click, watch, and then go skate. ! SK8+CRE8 !

Take a tour of some of Oregon's most amazing concrete skateparks via Google Earth and the Wall of Gray archives. Part 5 coming soon...umm more like when I get around to it. :) |

Waldport Mix My local park is an amazing concrete gem created by Airspeed Skateparks. You've never seen anything like it ~ 8,000 square feet of flowing lines and over-vertical love. Music by DJ BC |

Florence |
 |
Lincoln City Gnarly. Dreamland's hometown park is skate-punk bliss. The upper park is rough and steep, the lower park is smooth and deep. Music by Reverend Horton Heat |
 |
Klamath Falls WTF? I can't even begin to describe this park. It's like 4 or 5 parks melded into one sweet, flowing monstrosity. One of the first skateboarding videos that I made. Music by Space Monkeyz |
 |
Toledo Opening day festivities. Well over 100 locals crammed into their new concrete castle. Music by Ramanowski |
 |
McMinnville Dreamland renovated an existing park and came up with this beauty. Have you made it over the hole? |

Festa Da Maconha A trippy mix of Oregon 'crete. Port Orford, Brookings, McMinville, Florence, Newberg. Music by DJ BC |
 |
Slo-Mo Heaven Tasty slow-motion footage and an amazing mashup featuring Dolly Parton singing Stairway to Heaven. Footage includes highlites from the 2005 Concrete Rodeo in Reedsport, and locals hangin out in Waldport. Music by DJ Earworm |

Newberg Stitched An experimental Video Panorama. |
 |
Toledo Stitched Another weird stitched-together skateboarding video. This one features the Arispeed crew at work on the deep end of the park. |
 |
An artsy-fartsy mix from the 2006 Slalom competition at the West Linn skatepark. This event was a lot of fun, with just as many old guys as young grommets. |

Paul at Westlinn Paul is killing the concrete coping lately. Ever since that broken angle he's been a monster ~ learning bigger and gnarlier stuff nearly every session. |
 |
Randi at Waldport Skater chicks kick ass! Randi is a fearless skater. She picked up the basics in like a month - then went straight on to tons of lips tricks and big walls. |
 |
Aaron and Austin at LC We take a quick trip up to Lincoln City on a rainy day. These two had never skated LC before. Fun session! Music by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and the Ramones |
 |
Don's Happy-Fun Day I usually don't force you all to watch me skate ~ but this video is pretty funny. Paul had a broken ankle, but I dragged him to Newberg anyway. You can hear him laughing through the whole thing. |
 |
Rained out in Waldport The crew sneaks in a session between rainstorms - the perfect chance to create a fun little skateboarding video. Music by JS.one |
 |
Florence Construction The Airspeed Skatepark crew building their hometown masterpiece. |
 |
Here's a quick, time lapse of the Airspeed crew spraying concrete at their Toledo Oregon park. |
 |
Florence Ghost Session This is the first skateboarding video that I ever created. It's slow and weird - but it does seem to convey the sense of freedom that I feel when I go skating. |
