Dreamland Skateparks is a company that needs no introduction to the the skateboard community. Living in Oregon, we are a bit spoiled by getting to skate the best parks in the world by the best builders in the world. Check out their site to see what parks they've built and plan to build. If you don't see your town on there, get busy. Let your city know that you deserve a park built by the best.

I could almost say the same thing about Grindline Skateparks that I said about Dreamland. Two of the best skatepark design/build companies, both located here in the NW. Grindline is neck and neck with Dreamland, probably because they're all friends. Get both to bid on a park for your city and either way, you won't be disappointed.

"Built without permission, by skateboarders and later sanctioned by the city, Burnside is the preeminent example of action.... Like a magnifying glass in the sun, Burnside can witness a concentration of skill level unmatched anywhere. You can see crazy, crazy things there. Go, watch, learn, be humbled, excited and inspired. It is amazing."
- From Skate Oregon

R.I.P. Pole Jam

Thursday, January 25
I was browsing Youtube the other day and came across this video of someone doing the short-lived pole jam at Burnside. This was a punisher. It was short lived because it was built on our neighbors property. I guess they weren't as into it as we were. Really, it all just came down to liability and being good neighbors.



By the way, sorry about that blogger banner at the top of the page. I upgraded to the new blogger but forgot to revise the page code to hide it. I'll try and get it hidden again soon. I guess it's a small price to pay for free webspace. I guess.

That's it. Go skate!
