Fellow PNW rider, the whole vibe up here is hunting for the coolest bowl. One of the first parks I started riding had the worst street section and a bowled out snake run/pump track around a 10ft deep end.

Idk, crawling walls and doing slashes and disasters speaks to me more than tech or gaps.

I will say, not much is worse than a dogshit bowl. Either no speed lines or bad features can really kill any luster skating tranny offers.

Not really a single bowl per se but I fucking love Newberg. The funnest place to skate in my opinion and it barely has even one ledge. I also enjoy the penis bowl in McMinnville. Aumsville is also super rad.

Donald

Donald is gnarly. Perhaps I'm too green to skate there but all I could muster is a slash grind. It's a fun visit and my roommates at the time really liked it but I could only take so much of it before I basically had nothing else to throw at it, I didn't feel like eating shit that day lol.

Well its a hunt like i said, i havent found "the coolest" but off the top of the dome:

Lincoln city has a bunch of cool sections, Delridge and Greenlake in Seattle have sick bowls. Battleground is awesome, Burnside should be mentioned (not technically a "bowl" but skates like one), Marginal Way if youre trying to get gnarly. The Apple Bowl in Wenatchee is pretty sick too, Whitefish and Polson in Montana are both beasts.

There's a number of Evergreen parks around too, if you're into a different kind of transition. Hamilton, Alberton, and Stevensville in MT are rad parks from them.

cool. i tried to check out as many bowls as possible when i was in oregon and i was shocked at how many of them i could barely skate. i'm fairly comfortable skating big transition but so many of them were just so much tighter and steeper than what i am used to. but i also didn't really see anyone else at the local parks skate the bowls, everyone would just be skating the street obstacles. maybe i was just going at weird times of the day. my favorite bowls that i skated were bingen and glenhaven. checked out lincoln city, west linn and burnside too but i basically got overwhelmed trying to skate them, those are the sort of parks where i think you need to have a few sessions getting to know the place before you can really start skating it properly.

a 7-year-old just landed a 900 last week, what are you talking about

[j....soy.....]

You’re right….a kid is skating transition….you win.

OR definitely has some gnarly stuff; Florence, Reedsport, Pier Park, the upper bowl at Hood River is fucked up. I could spend 2 months easy at Lincoln City finding lines.

Bingen is a fun park, that bowl is money too.

Honestly, I think more parks need a good mini ramp, or two for that matter, one thats like 2-4' and another thats like 5-6'. That would satisfy the vast majority of transition needs, and really help decongest the rest of the park while also segmenting some of the more dangerous young kids to the little mini.

THIS! Love me a good pivot fakie

[Uncle Flea]

They go too small sometimes. They expect kids to get good on a something we wouldn't even use as a jump ramp back in the day.

Falling on these little cement ramps is the worst too.

I'd rather it be crazy tight if we're going 2.2 foot tall.

4ft with 5ft extension. Learn every trick in the book

[work_lurker]

Because VANs indoor park in Orange closed down. Was a daycare and training facility for kids under 10 who could 540.

[pleasent street]

seems to me like all these kids who can do 540s and 900s exist on the internet but not irl because i've never seen it

lincoln city, tigard, bingen, battleground and many others...the pnw is too spoiled

[Spacenoid]

bowl at my local skatepark has more kids inside it smoking weed in the evenings than people I've *ever* seen skating it.

[rukes]

Why shred bowls when you can smoke em?

[gnidraobetaks]

Why skate transition when you can win soty skating flat ground?

[ziggy]

because Jimmy is so good he makes everyone want to quit
