Security guard on duty

The Extreme Sports Park at Pacific Community Park (Vancouver Washington) Will open in a couple of weeks, without a general announcement about a specific date until the day it opens. Keep checking Clark Parks to see if today is the day. Until then, you can forget about barging because they’ve gone ahead and hired a security guard to prevent trespassing and combat the graffiti problem. From the Clark County Parks Communications Specialist:

SECURITY GUARD NOW ON DUTY Because of the increasing problem with people riding the park illegally, we found a way to go ahead and hire a security guard to sit on the park every weeknight after the contractor leaves for the day, and on the weekends until the park officially opens. Their first day on the job was last Friday.

Apparently, the guard has already been offered bribes and was tricked into letting someone in the park one night because “I helped build the park and am allowed to ride it.” The guard has since been informed that NO ONE is allowed in the park, period. The guard will call the sheriff if anyone gives him any trouble.

Yep. You have to get up pretty late in the afternoon to fool a security guard. The photo above is a still of a certain someone transferring from the deep to the shallow via a disaster to boardslide. If you recognize him you can watch the clip on the web site of the company he rides for. Hint: It’s a rough cut.
