When he’s not busy sponsoring every ripper in a two state radius, he’s giving back to the community, even when it’s not his community! Clark County’s Parks last email contained the following bit of info on a local Portland skateboarding industry big wig, (Well, biggest in Portland!) Some idiots set fire to the Vancouver WA park cleaning supplies box (Dudes, HILARIOUS!) and Colin Sharp (colin, not evil Colin) stepped up to resupply it.
New Storage Cabinet Installed at Park; Supplies Donated by Bacon Skateboards
The plastic cleaning supply cabinet that was set on fire and destroyed at the park about 2 months ago has been replaced with a big metal cabinet. In case you’re curious, this is just a basic cleaning supply cabinet. We have a group of local skaters and BMX riders who signed up to be stewards of the park and each have keys to the cabinet, along with the county’s park maintenance people. The contents of the cabinet are: a couple of shop brooms, a long-handled squeegee, dust pans, the emergency access ladder for the two bowls, and some other basic cleaning supplies.
Most of these supplies were generously donated to the park by Colin Sharp at from Portland to replace what was destroyed in the fire (see attached photo). If you would like to become a park steward, please contact me directly and I’ll get you a key.
Let’s hope vancouver locals aren’t headed down the same path as Aumsville locals. Collin looks stoked in that shot, about as as stoked as he will be when he sees this post! Go Collin! Kids, buy some Bacon Skateboards so he can pay for that broom!

I am going to talk to the Battle Ground City Council and see if we can get something like this.

Snazzy diamond plate on the front of that cabinet!

Thanks Colin. So do I need to walk around the park looking for a steward if I need a broom, or do they wear red ceremonial sashes?

Way to step-up Colin. Kudos to all that is Bacon. See you and your broom tonight at The Tube.

I think that photo of Colin (not evil Colin) with the broom should be a board graphic. I’d buy it. Nice work Colin (not evil Colin).
