Title: Skate Spots: Portland, OR
Post by: posguy on December 30, 2014, 12:06:55 PM

I'm hoping this thread will bring up other threads for different cities. This way we all have somewhere to look when we're in a new city and want to skate.

Keller Fountain - Southwest 3rd
A couple manny pads and gaps, small down below, large up above. It's pretty busy in the summer and has the possibility of getting your board wet.

Lincoln High - SW
A couple of awesome ledges, some stairs and great flatground. Go after 5 during the school year.

Inner SE Industrial area (near Burnside) and under the Hawthorne Bridge are bunch of good spots. Also a few new spots as a result of the new light rail expansion. Including this prime slappy curb:
