Hood River Oregon skatepark additions

In your face, every other place in the world!

It’s just starting to sink in how ridiculous the abundance of skatepark terrain is getting in Oregon. If you live here you get a little desensitized to it, but seriously, it’s amazing. Hood River is GOING OFF! Thanks to Mike Estes for the pics. You remember him right? He might think about coming back if we’re all nice to him. Considering some of the recent comment flame wars, it seems unlikely. Hey everyone, the best way to foil a comment crackpot is to not respond to the guilty party in the first place. Oops, I’m off topic on my own post. I must be some sort of communist, punk, whiny liberal, pad wearing, radical dog hating baby. Enjoy the pics of Hood River. Your body (of concrete) is a wonderland.

  • I hate to be this guy but…man I’m gonna miss the vert ramp.

  • Estes' Ghost

    In 2 weeks Dave! (Mr Tobin!)

  • any grand opening dates?

  • i’m thinking Sleestock 4! Can your town handle a bunch of old drunks? Where’s the nearest camping / lurking spot?

  • Damn that looks fun, I miss Oregon!

  • that’s it, I’m moving back.

  • Estes' Ghost

    In 2 weeks the park will be complete- Dec 16th the crew said they want to go home for Christmas.

  • Damn that place looks good. Definitely hittin’ that up this spring. Thanks for the pics and the build.

  • Holy crap. Talk about taking matters into your own hands. When’s it gonna be done?

  • Estes' Ghost

    Glad you liked em Bobcat, your always welcome to hit my couch to check it out.

  • Hood River became so fun with that bowl they built last winter, but your best park is Irrigon and now probably Pendelton because, even though your weather is better than mine it still sucks. at least the east is dry

  • bowltroll

  • sea cliff vert ramp

    Cold Ones is right. We’re here in the Bay Area and things are improving greatly but you guys are swimming in sick parks. Thanks for giving me something to drool over while I’m stuck at work.

  • This is why I check out this site at work everyday. Hope I can make it back to the NW this summer.

  • wow, thats amazing. Thanks for the photos Mike
