Artist’s Rendition Pt. 2

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.

Last Night PT 2

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.

Pier Gear

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 […]
