Still rad after all these years.

Last evening, our man Mark Conahan was featured on KPDX Channel 12's "Oregon Sports Final" with FOX sports anchor Mark Ross. The gist of the piece was to showcase the old man's (Conahan is a mighty handsome 47) ability to "shred" and—in direct contrast to the perception that skaters do little more than shred—to lobby for and develop Oregon skate parks while working in graphic design, producing his comic, Hopeless Old Men On Skateboards, and blogging (primarily about skateboarding). But mostly, it was about his ability to shred. The interior shots were produced right here at Pinch House. The balance was of Mark and other shredders deep in the concrete bowls of the very parks that Conahan helps to produce. Shredding.
