im pretty new to portland.
but back in ohio there are some pretty rad shit to do.
like....dodgeball tourney, jumproping, kickball...etc.
might not sound to appealing to some folks, but i think its fun.
anything like that around these neck of the woods?
oh yeah, does anyone skateboard?
im tryin to find some poeple to skate with. can't really get pumped up by yourself.
there's a kickball league in town...don't know much about it besides they play games with kegs on hand.
some of us are pretty core at wall ball... if that counts
Keven reintroduced me to wallball (or handball, as I remember it). I'm so down for more of that.
i mean. wall ball with street rules that is
skateboarding for sure. I know a couple heads from ohio and I grew up in WI, so hazzah midwest.
bryan.:i mean. wall ball with street rules that is
Oh yes. What about wallball on bikes?!
Oooh, ooh! Kickball on bikes. Try that shit.
so scurry.
i dominate at 4-square
lets play now!
soon here every monday at col. summers park my zoobomb buddies do kickball and dodgeball /bbq/drinking good summer time.
it's one of my favorite things. get like 40 people for a dodgeball game is aces.
tetherball anyone!
OMG Jenn i didnt know about the kick ball! once this term is over can i join sometime!?
and yes...i am super down for playing some more wall ball soon. Col. Summers has a good spot for it as well as the place by my house.
playground_terror:and yes...i am super down for playing some more wall ball soon. Col. Summers has a good spot for it as well as the place by my house.
Fuck yeah, let's do it.
And tetherball?! I think yes. Best idea, Jenn!
^^^Monday Funday rules! I'ts been a while since I made it out for kickball. Def. good times. As for league kick/dodgeball look into Underdogs Portland. I played in a couple of their bowling tournaments. Fun people who all like to get wasted. I've also been wanting to get my urban spitgolf idea off the ground. Anybody interested?
the court by keven's is the spot
bryan.:the court by keven's is the spot
Agreed. We need to make last Thursday's event a monthly thing.
yeah but no one played wall ball 'cept a few of us! Wall Ball and bikes..we should also try this foot down business again.
yah definitely you need to come and join everyone can!!!!! they bring like 20 balls so we can use one to play wall ball with!
playground_terror:yeah but no one played wall ball 'cept a few of us! Wall Ball and bikes..we should also try this foot down business again.
Totally. Last time was fun. We need to get everyone in on wallball though!
^^ Is wallball kinda like Butts Up?
I have no idea what butts up is.

I played it a bunch in grade school. Fun stuff.
dodgeball !

Similar, except it's played with a much bigger ball...more like kickball size as opposed to tennis ball size. Plus you don't intend on hitting people in wallball.
deliciousfuture:dodgeball !
War ball!
anyone remember smear the queer? damn these games have funny names...i think it's a gov't conspiracy to make us love war and hate gays and be anal retentive...
smear the queer...haha. been a long while since i played that.
and wallball? don't think i played. but raquet ball is actually really fun.
id love to come out and check out some stuff sometime...
baravettski:skateboarding for sure. I know a couple heads from ohio and I grew up in WI, so hazzah midwest.
right on. we should skate sometime.
baravettski:yep, we should. I work for Nike SB so I have access to the park, it's in SE right off MLK and indoors and pretty damn fun.
what? i didn't even know nike had a park?
hmm...id like to check it out sometime.
seems like im pretty close to it. im prob 5 min away from burnside.

iv been skating for a number of years. i can show you all the spots around here. or map them. theres a lot of stairs but ledges, good manual pads, and good rails are scarce.
oh and heres a part i threw together a while ago of last years footage. pretty much all the spots are in portland and i can tell you where if you want to go to them.

baravettski you work for nike sb eeeeeh?
that nike park is sooper good. i know people who skate there but never been.

That's good shit spencer. I used to skate Madison all the time. There is a sweet marble ledge and a bunch of those plastic picnic tables in the courtyard me and my friends used to do all kinds of crazy shit with. I've never quite had the balls to pop down the Washington stairs you so effortlessly heelflipped down. I'd probably break something if I tried to skate now, I'ts been a while.
holy shit nice video spenser. i skated for 5 years and wasn't nearly that good.

man sounds like fun iv always wanted to skate there. sounds like redoing parks is the new thing department is gonna reopen soon too. what is it that you do working at nike sb? i might send some footage around to companies at some point and nike would be a cool place to do it
spenser is legit
the video said it was unavailable. dumb

yeah it is. I work on the SB shoes, plan the line every season, do colors, that kind of thing. you should send footy in for sure, whisper me I'll get you some emails.
Jennx:soon here every monday at col. summers park my zoobomb buddies do kickball and dodgeball /bbq/drinking good summer time.
it's one of my favorite things. get like 40 people for a dodgeball game is aces.
i went to this shit several times last summer and had no idea it was zoobomb related, which is fucking awesome that it was that un-cliquey
lets all go zoobombing

jesus christ dude
Damn spens you put my old skate skills to massive shame.
zelah:i went to this shit several times last summer and had no idea it was zoobomb related, which is fucking awesome that it was that un-cliquey
yah that's one thing I enjoyed. I would even bring my little bros out to it cause it was that chill. I love zoobomb. some people can get cliquish but that happens anytime you get a big group together. one time my messenger bag was stolen from the park by a bum, and everyone spanned out on bike to try and find the bum who took it.
jarome, I'm down to go it's hard for me on sundays cause I don't get out of work until 930, i've bombed on my track bike before with no lights sketch as fuck, wouldn't recommend it haha. at least I've been down that route/hill a couple hundred times which made it better.
damn spens, you rip.
i can't skate that street shit anymore.
only parks...a lot easier on my legs.
went to pier park today. that fullpipe is gnar!
we should all go skate sometime. holla!
the only footy i have is...

im the one in the red shirt.
yung jeezy pdx:lets all go zoobombing
I just rebuilt my little sisters bike for zoobombing. Im so down. Cant this weekend (ill be at the coast) but the weekend after lets do it.
yeah, we all need to shred. all I got right now is the kicky in here at 1:45, but you can also see the park at the end.
i love the zoobomb idea, but it is seriously ten times more fun on a minibike. also, imagine being on a little bike when a gang of fixed gear crazies come running up on you. unless jerome is talking about a fixed gear bomb that's not on sunday night...
yah i have a mini haro that I bomb on effin bulletproof.
baravettski:yeah, we all need to shred. all I got right now is the kicky in here at 1:45, but you can also see the park at the end.
not sure if i could skate that stuff. maybe if i tried hard enough.
i heard theres a mini in there?
nice kf by the way. i like the slo-mo.
