Burnside Gets a New Documentary

¿Confusion? International Skateboard Magazine announced the world premiere of Through My Board at the Portland Panorama Film Festival on April 16, 2026 at 5PM.

Director Dan Eason, a skateboarder whose production work ranges from music videos to community arts, took the premiere outside the theater with a skate alley takeover, a best trick contest on the bike rack with $500 in prizes, and a product toss.

After the screening, filmmaker and Burnside OG April Jones moderated a panel and Q&A with Paul Johnson, Brooke Durgin, and Dan Eason.
