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.
Kilwag
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.
