Not enough to put a raised ridge in the middle of the bank, they had to put a fence up too. Tennis courts next to Grant High School in Portland. The TMR crew wuz there.

I’ve skated those a bunch. Back in the Rebel Skates days.

Yeah, classic Portland spot. They tried bolting a two-by-four across the whole width first but kids made quick work of that.

Bet you could get a buck or two recycling those pipes once they’ve been “liberated”

A 3″ diamter pipe cutter is a nice, cheap, quiet and effective tool for cutting all sorts of metal pipe. Spin that little guy around a dozen times, see if that rail can come off!

In my youth, I spent a thousand hours at this spot…”surfing” it. I have thought of it many times, and wondered what happened to it. Usually well lit, a quick session could happen before a trip to the “urban noise” on Union st. for a show (ask SMAY…he knows). I greatly enjoyed bumming people in too short white shorts with screeching slides and bottom turns (actually- I still enjoy that).That spot needs to be “freed”.
