"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."Now It's Your Turn

I've just added a new button on the right, and below, that is pretty self-explanatory. Why would this need to be added here after all these years?
THE PARK IS OUT OF MONEY!
Burnside has been forunate enough to not have to ask for donations for almost 20 years now. Of course the locals have always kicked down a $5 or $10 spot when a bit short for patch crete, paint, or what ever was needed, but we've never asked the world. So here it is.
Please help the Burnside skatepark. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity in the coming months to possibly double the parks size. Of course this may only be for a year (long story. E-mail burnsideskatepark@gmail.com if you want details), but it could last much longer too. Burnside does not receive any money from any city or private organizations. It is funded by donations or site-use fees for movies and other uses.
If anybody has any questions at all, feel free to e-mail the skatepark at burnsideskatepark@gmail.com or burnsideskatepark@hotmail.com. And if anyone has any concerns that this is legit, feel free to contact Mark "Red", Sage, or myself, Chuck, and confirm this. I can give contact details via e-mail if requested.

Thanks for your support of Burnside over the years and I hope this will help the park stay in world-class shape for many more years to come.
That's it. Go skate!
Who are these guys that kill it at Burnside? The plan is to interview a different local each month to get different views from the people that skate one of the best parks in the world.
