Troy Sliter sent in some pics of Pier Park. Some are from opening day. Others, not so much. Rather than integrate them into the already existing feature, I’ll just put them up here. More after the jump.

Yeah not much of a fake out, huh? It just had to look a little less than obvious. Rich Burton took this pic. See it larger after the jump.

I don’t know how this park compares to the new Upland, but the consensus around PDX is that we have a world class park. More pictures later. This is just to tide you over. That’s Shawn Reinert airing out of the pipe into the deep end. Click it to make him big.

What can I say, I’m a little giddy about this damn park. Waiting for my batteries to charge up before I head back. Could have uses a few pops of the external flash, but no matter, the park isn’t going anywhere. Click to see it bigger.

Last night. Four minute exposure. Mark and I running around popping the flash. It’s drizzling there right now. Hopefully it will clear up soon! A couple lucky kids who were “pressing glass” sleeping in their car after getting booted from the pipe at 4am – they got to get a quick 5 minute session at 8am when the setup crew started to arrive. Will they be the only ones today? See this picture bigger.

It’s Will Powers in the oft neglected D.O.S. bowl circa late 2004. Someone said they were resurfacing it. Anyone know if that’s true? I’d consult the web site but it looks like they haven’t updated it in a couple of years.

Hey PDX locals, has anyone seen Jason lately? Sifting through some pics I came across this 2003 shot of him in his living room which he converted into a ramp. I haven’t seen him in a while. Over a year actually. More pics after the jump.

Because a day without a post is lame. So here are some mediocre shots I took in 2004 at a sparsely attended non-test at Burnside.

This is 2004 picture of everyone’s favorite ex-Donald local turned neo-Rastafarian, Donavan. Looks like he’s doing some sort of layback rock and roll, but then again I can’t remember what tricks are called these days, or other days for that matter. He’s at Newberg Ore on top of a good 10 feet or so of concrete.

Since it’s not actually finished or open yet, you’ll have to make do with this artist’s rendition of as sight that I’m sure Pier Park locals will get sick of seeing after a few months. Can you tell that I am getting antsy waiting for Pier Park? I mean there’s got to be better things to do with my time besides pushing pixels around.
