The Craziest Skateboarding Spots on the West Coast | Life in The Van Vol. 4

It’s time to jump back in the van for a throwback to summertime in and around Portland, Oregon. Josh “Peacock” is back at the wheel, and over five days the squad hits nine skateparks, one hotel pool, and even score a session inside Mark “Red” Scott’s behemoth indoor garage bowl.

Day 1 kicks off in Portland proper at the infamous Burnside DIY that Red helped create (along with nearly every other giant cement park in Oregon). The session was wild, featuring a special roll-in built just for the occasion. It also happened to be the day of the Rockstar Energy Open finals, so a ton of people pulled up to Burnside immediately after.

Then they take off for four days with Liam Pace, Issei Sakurai, David Gravette, Yuro Nagahara, Eric Hutchinson, Tucker Fitzsimons, Myles Pacheo, Tommy Calvert, Phoenix Sinnerton, Yurin Fujii, and John Worthington. It marked John’s 10th year of leading skate trips around the area, which he calls “the craziest skateboarding spots on the West Coast.”
