Yep. This is what it looks like tonight as we camp out to keep the poachers and graffiti losers out of the park for one last night so everything will look pretty for the Mayor and Nike. I’m predicting it will be tagged by Wednesday. See you tomorrow morning. Be prepared for way to much coverage.

Man this is tedious. There are a few good one though, such as Islam-Online.net taking notice of the skate-church movement. Does anyone care about these types of posts? Am I wasting my time? Let me know please.

Hey everyone! Choke on these pictures of Pier Park, opening tomorrow, and then don’t ever, ever come here to skate it please. There’s nothing to see here. Move along.

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.

Just cause the park opens this weekend doesn’t mean you can rest on your laurels or ass, for that matter. Head on over to Skaters for Portland Skateboards and buy a Pier Park commemorative shirt, silkscreened poster, or a skateboard to help raise money to put a roof over the damn thing. It is in Portland you know. Hello… Oregon? Winter rain? Did that ever cross your mind?

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.

This is what it will look like. Nothing to see here. Move along.
