Had a mountain of fun with my family over Spring Break this year in Vail, Colorado. Check out this video of our ski trip, and another I made of snowboarding at Mt. Hood in Oregon! Ripped a lot of vertical feet over 2 days snowboarding Vail with my family of excellent skiers.
Great snowboard park features last season thanks to the Meadows Park Team. Before the mountain opened after Thanksgiving, I enjoyed hiking up on several occasions. Look towards the end of the video for footage from several epic days touring up the slope.

Kiteboarding at Floras Lake in Oregon is a thrill, and even in October still not too chilly! This fresh water lake bed was once planned to be the site of a Port to the Pacific.
The camping sites, park hosts and surrounding natural attractions are spectacular. My second kiteboarding mission there was a success, I’ve been really looking forward to that since first visiting there in 2014. Thanks Floras!

Known by local motorcycle industry enthusiasts as ‘The 1 Show,’ this event that began on February 13th was a weekend-long celebration of motorbike themed photography and artifacts, showcasing vintage and antique restorations juxtapose the region’s latest motorcycle industry best.
Taking place at a repurposed industrial warehouse space in inner southeast Portland, it drew a thrillingly hipster and Mad Max sort of montly crew.
The Portland-based motorcycle company Icon had a number of their latest specialty street style riders and an exceptional spread of quality promotional materials.
Front-of-house, music played throughout, adding to an already cinematic ambiance. Timeless, western country-style rock and roll (in the vein of Quicksilver Messenger Service) mixed with Venice beach thrash-era punk.
Friday night, one of several bands started at around 8:30. Thanks Nigel from the Portland band 1776 for that free beer claim stub, great show!
In the lot outside there was a minicycle derby, vendors and several blocks of portapotty. Late night there was an appearance by Sasquatch, who was seen riding a mini.
The event coincided whilst fashion week in other cities and so everyone was dressed really nicely in their biker gear and memorabilias.
Why isn’t the movie Tron on Netflix was a popular topic of conversation. That of course, and also Mad Max World (coming soon).
Slab City.
Keep your eyes peeled for tumbleweed, later that night the line went around the block!
Like The Portland One Show on Facebook, this event is not to miss!

On East Burnside at Rontoms in Portland, at 8pm on Thursday evening David Miller – OPB’s host of Think Out Loud – welcomed guests to a festive, live special edition to discuss the future of marijuana in Oregon. A participant in the audience described their switch from “traditional, narcotic painkillers”, and David acknowledged a big question being what should happen to Oregon’s existing medicinal program after legalization in 2016.
In a state where there are currently 27 thousand medicinal prescriptions and forty seven thousand licensed growers, Oregonians said YES to Measure 91 by 56 percent this year. Invited to Think Out Loud, forum guest Hillary Bricken – free market, commercial lobbyist and editor of a cannabis law blog – described her clients’ current and future tax rate concerns and other challenges surrounding the work taking place in Salem where the laws are to be written.
Acknowledging how the medicinal and recreational systems can work together, Matt Walstatter – owner of a medical marijuana dispensary – explained differences between the needs of medicinal patients and retail consumers. Amy Margolis – shareholder at the Emerge Law Group and founder of Oregon Grower’s PAC – mentioned Dave Kopilak in attendance, an attorney from Portland who helped draft Oregon’s New Approach initiative.
Ushered a microphone after his response from the audience – that there’s “everything” wrong with an enterprise level, commercial marijuana industry – one Oregonian said how “marijuana is something you share, not something you sell.” The opportunity for cities and local counties in Oregon to piggy back tax revenues from the sale of recreational products was debated in terms of how and to what extent taxation will occur.
