Jank and Destroy

Chris from Old School Skateboarding went on a group mission organized by Josh Burt for what was originally supposed to be the Portland Roll-in Challenge, but ended up being “let’s find the jankiest and roughest shit in Portland and try and skate it or roll over the top of it.” Looked like it was a good time. I would have liked to cover it if I had known about it. It’s almost as if there is some sort of diverse skateboard community in Portland with other web sites besides this one. I know, it sounds crazy, but I might have to investigate. Check it out on Old School Skateboarding, or watch the video after the jump.

    We didn’t get the boot a single time, and I’ve already spotted a handful of new additions to the next Roll-in Challenge!

    It’s so cool to see some of the little sketchy spots I’ve skated over the years! I really love the industrial wallride spot. I always stop and skate it on my way into Portland. But that other bank spot, the bank to ledge, where is that? Same general area? Looks fun.

  9. Maybe we can get a few more people to attend the next one.
