Trip to Oregon with Jeff Ward

Russell Grundy
Russell Grundy, Backside ollie at Reedsport.

Dowdy: Were all the parks lined up or was it more of a mission to find what we skate kinda trip?
Dayne Brummet: We had a bunch that we wanted to hit, but it was definitely a mission. We came up on tons of random shit, and that is usually the best stuff. For example we had to go to Battleground, Washington to re-up our stash for the ride home. we were just going with the flow and had no expectations. That park ended up being one of the best ever.

What did you do in Portland?
Russell Grundy: met up with my mate Gregg he's from Hawaii but used to live around the corner from me in AUS for like 3 years, we crashed in his basement, taking up the kids play room. Using bears and shit for pillows.. Hervy and Barr skated awesome like always, I told myself i wasn't gonna skate any stairs or gaps on this trip but Hood had the best river gap, We went to some waterfall we got all dresseed in shorts and shit with towels and what not turns out all you could do was fucking look at the shit.

Dowdy: How was hood river?
Russell Grundy: Hood River was the shit, Best water fountain EVER all fresh mountain water, Brummet fell three times as soon as we got there due to some little acorns or some shit, some guy gave me perscription muscle relaxers which made skateboarding more fun after sleeping on the ground and shit. Skated this guys shed, was fucking awsome, sweating balls in the hot box though, had a pole to hold onto.

Dowdy: What did you think of Hood River?
Jeff Ward: Hood River was amazing man it felt like washington street in the forest just built around what was there we stayed there the longest time, 3 days. We stayed at Russels friends gregs so it was the best sleep we had also we skated Gregs buddy Grams ramp too that was so sick, Just a crazy one of a kind garage ramp and we got some sick clif jump spot out there hood was the all around best stop

Dayne Brummet, Back D near Hood River

Dowdy: Anyone get worked?
Jeff Ward: I dont know everyone took a few falls i definatly got broke off at mcminnville, I took three hard ones. Twice in the bowl full pipe tunnel from like 4 feet up to my back and, but it was worth it.

When did you guys decide to start making your way back home.
Dayne Brummet: Well, I decided to stop by a friends wedding on the way back. So, I made everyone chill in Walport while I went and partied. I was gonna have everyone come crash the wedding and get hammered for free, but it was too deep in the woods and there was no reception. So yeah, that pretty much sucked for everyone but me. sorry guys.

Jeff Ward
Jeff Ward, Some fucked up shit.

Dowdy: How was the drive back?
Russell Grundy: I slept in the back the whole way home, Brummet got pulled over for doing 60 in 25 zone at 3 am. Woke me from my sleep, lucky they didn't hear the beer cabs at everyones feet.. Stopped at some random gas station in hicksville about 50 drunk hicks there. Best part Jeff Ward knew them all, we are talking 3:30 AM people in hod knows fuck where...That's about it, Why are you reading this?
