We’re off to see the wizard… That’s the creek jump in Hood River. Hard to tell how big the gap is, but I’m sure it’s going to be a hit, and a bummer for everyone that doesn’t clear it! Super cool feature, nonetheless. Thanks again to the lens of Hood River’s resident skateographer Carl Warren, we’ve got some more images of the work in progress. Looks like it’s getting pretty close to being done if they are pouring flat. Can’t wait to check it out. Can’t wait.
Alex is a local.

If you want to donate to the the Hood River skatepark- mail a check to the Hood River Park And Rec……….or drop a donation off at IPS Skateshop.

The bolts are for a roof.
It should all be done by the end of the month.
Graham Coats and I have been doing the construction with help from a rotating crew. Everything but the snail trail was designed using Rhino. (3d CAD).
No website, no company. Just wanted to build some shit.

Damn, Killer looking additions. Who’s the builder? What are all the anchor bolts for? Light Stands maybe?

A far cry from ’95, when I lived there!
Then: Wal-Mart curbs and the Compound Ramp… Now: concrete metropolis. Wild.

That looks like the best place ever for an old guy who likes to mess around on small crap.
