"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."Official Non-Profit Status

Burnside skatepark is now officially a 501c3 non-profit organization! It took a while but it's a done deal now. We also have had to change our website URL from burnsideskatepark.com to burnsideskatepark.org. We let the .com expire and someone came in and bought it before we realized what had happened. But I think the .org fits a non-profit better than .com anyhow, so screw that fake skate mom site that thinks using our .com name will get them hits and sales. 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.
