Shaun White's Portland Skate Trip.

Summertime is all about skateboarding. Shaun was feeling a little end of summer skate trip so we packed it in and took off for Portland, Oregon, one of the heaviest hitters in the skatepark world.

Known for their plethora of parks, the Pacific Northwest has become world famous for bigger, better and badder! The legends like Burnside still pull the weight of Portland's skate-centric reputation, but there are so many concrete parks that you almost don't know where to begin.

For Shaun, this trip was a getaway. A little time to clear the head and skate with some friends, but also to stoke out some fans. There is nothing better than seeing the looks on kid's faces when Shaun rolls up to the park.

If you saw Shaun cruising in the parks while he was in Portland, hope that it was fun. Drop in unannounced and just ride with everyone else. That is what makes skateboarding and snowboarding so amazing. Because it is pretty unlikely that Tiger Woods will ever share a round of golf with you, but there's a pretty good chance that you could pump around with Shaun White in the deep end or ask him for advice on that trick you are trying to stick.

Although summer is gone and most of you are all back in school, mark my words, Portland, we will be back, oh yes, we will be back!
