Haw! nice gap jump! But that’s going to be a lot harder when that pit is full of FIRE.

Aww man, I thought that’s where the alligators were going to be.

Bad news… I just got a call back from Portland Parks and Rec saying that they are now expecting a January opening date for Ed Benedict. She said to call back close to the end of the year for an exact date.

January???? WTF??? That place looked like it was a week or two away from being finished when I took the pics. Someone is dragging their feet for sure.
Oh well, I guess it’s not going anywhere once it’s open.

Damn, It needs to open before some of us get too old to street skate. I might not be able to ollie by January…

in the interim, Harrisburg should be opening the weekend of Dec 5th. I don’t have any exact details yet, I heard possibly a 5pm friday opening. Yes it has lights.

Harrisburg looks like a nice place. Here’s a video from myspace: http://tinyurl.com/harrisburgskatepark – anybody have other pics or video?

Well, if it was in California and finished two weeks from now it probably wouldn’t open until next September.
