I’d place this video at maybe 93-94? That’s my layman’s-I-wasn’t-there guess. It was posted on YouTube by Nate Sherwood, so it’s mostly footage of him as a youngster, but mid way through there is some amusing footage from a local Portland news channel. Seems to be from shortly after the city of Portland decided to leave it alone. Look for Mark Scott in a Turf t-shirt.
– Thanks to Malcolm MacMaster for the tip.

I left a board at Gabriel Park this summer that had Bridge Bolts from that era. I just kept transferring them from old board to new board, they never wore out.

AHHH! The 90’s! Giant clown clothes and good times. Oh how I miss the pain free joints and the street skills. The giant clothing not so much.

Looks to be about ’92, according to the camera’s on-screen date on the section after the news piece.
