One of the earliest concrete skateparks built under/near a bridge/overpass was the Oasis in San Diego. It was a short lived park built during the skatepark boom of the late 70’s and early 80’s. The idea of using the space under bridges/overpasses for skatepark construction was not lost on the skater’s of Portland. Case in point, Burnside Skatepark, an oasis for the soul of skateboarding. Long live Burnside.
Dave Hupp has new video featuring some serious skating at Burnside. Word has it you can buy your copy at Shrunken Head or Cal Skates. Why wouldn’t you? More pics after the turn.
