There's a new skate video being released on April 1 from local pro photog, Dave Hupp, who also runs DLH Productions . He's been working on the film for about 3 years now and is finally in the home stretch. Hopefully I'll have a copy of the flyer up on this page in the next week or so, if not I'll at least have Release Party details. You can check out the trailer for "Why Wouldn't You?" at Daves'

There have been a few changes at Burnside recently concerning our relationship with the neighboring businesses and I thought that since Dave Hupp of DLH Productions was kind enough to send me photos of the most blatant of the bunch, I had to post them. The first one is pretty self-explanatory. Photo: Dave Hupp This one may take a bit more explaining. What you are looking at here is the newest

I was browsing Youtube the other day and came across this video of someone doing the short-lived pole jam at Burnside. This was a punisher. It was short lived because it was built on our neighbors property. I guess they weren't as into it as we were. Really, it all just came down to liability and being good neighbors. By the way, sorry about that blogger banner at the top of the page. I

Well, well, well, You thought this site was dead, didn't you? Well it's not. I've just been lagging and haven't really felt like dealing with it for a while, almost a year now, damn.

I received the following e-mail and think it's something every skater should see. This is a very active skateboard advocate and she has done a ton for the skateboard community. A valued member of Portland's skateboarding community sustained a severe head injury on Thursday while skating an indoor park here in Portland.

As many of you who swing by this site every now and then know, I've been slacking and rarely update. The problem is that I just don't have the time that it takes to update very often. So..... Once again I'm asking for help from the local skaters. If any of you would like to help out with the content of this site, send me an e-mail at burnsideskatepark@gmail.com with the subject heading of "

It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally getting around to getting these pics up. Brandon and Sarah have both contributed photos for the site and I had really meant to get them on here much sooner, but.....well.....whatever. I don't usually put pictures on the front page, but since it's been so long since I've put anything here, I thought, what the heck. Brandon did send more photos than I

Sorry about not updating this site for months on end. I know that I've been neglecting it and will try and do a bit better in the coming months. I've received a bunch of new pics from a local that I want to put up and there's also a bit of new info concerning the Bridgehead project and lights. So, I'll try and wake this beast back up and get it going again. I could use a little help if anyone is

It's been a good, long while since I've updated this site, as I'm sure some of you have noticed. I'm working on getting new stuff up, and also am looking to do something a bit new here. It will only happen if anybody is interested and helps out. So here it is.... I'm looking for contributors to the Burnside website. Like Burnside, I want this site to be a collaboration of skateboarders. I'm

It's that time of year again. Coming up on August 20th, the 2nd Annual Burnside Blowout Nontest will be in full effect. Those of you that were there last year know what to expect and I guarantee will be there again this year. Those of you that missed it, sorry. You missed a great session.

A couple of weeks ago a new sign was hung at Burnside. There has been a sign hanging at the park for the past 13 years and this is the first time it has been updated. The new sign gives a quick history of the park and then a few simple rules. Here's what the sign says:"Welcome to the Burnside Skateboard Park. The Burnside Skateboard Park is a historical park that was started in 1990 by

I've been meaning to post this for the past couple of weeks, but I hadn't downloaded my camara until just last night. Anyhow, here are a few pics of the new cage that Red, Sage, Snowman, Coy (aka Germ), and a few others built. The cage surrounds the dumpster and the two porta-potties that the parks dept. supplies for the park. Over the years the parks dept. has had to replace the portables

I reported a few months ago that the Oregon Trifecta may be coming to Burnside. Well, it's now been changed to Newberg. I'll give more details soon, but I just wanted to get this bit of info out there. And make sure you come back often as I have a whole slew of updates to bring you in the coming weeks now that winter has passed and the weather is becoming more cooperative. That's it. Go skate!

The verdict is in. OPUS NW has won the bid for the Burnside bridgehead project. There is quite a bit of local outcry concerning this decision because OPUS was not the public's choice, but it was never the public's choice in the first place, it was the PDC's. I won't go into all of the politics of the decision because that is not the concern of the skatepark. What is our concern is that the

Well, after nearly a year, the Burnside bridgehead development is coming to a head. About a week ago the Evaluation Committee released their recommendation that the Beam Development team should be granted the project. Of course, it is only a recommendation and the PDC Commission has the final say. The public has one more chance to testify before the PDC Commission before the final decision is

I had been working on a new site for our new web address, but due to some internal problems, it has been halted. Maybe in the future we will get it going on, but for now this will continue to be the home of Burnside's website. I know there haven't been a lot of updates recently, but there really hasn't been a whole heck of a lot going on. I could write about how the park was wet due to rain but

My wife was cleaning up our desk the other day and came across a bunch of really early Burnside photos. I haven't seen these in years and am amazed at how much the area has changed in the past 14 years. When you look at the photos, if you have ever been to Burnside, you will notice the difference right away. If not, trust me, there are no open fields around here anymore.I scanned the photos last

For those of you who don't know, the Slam City Jam is a yearly pro contest that is held in Vancouver, BC and attracts the best skaters from around the world. It also brings a lot of great skaters through Portland on their trek north which makes for some good sessions at the local parks. The Slam City Jam has historically been held in or around May, but due to a change in organizers, the date has

O.K., I'm not sure how breaking the news is, but I just found out about it, so it's news to me. I was doing some daily interweb surfing and came across something on SK8 PDX Daily that threw me for a second. What could that be you may ask? This is what I saw,"WORLD CUP AT BURNSIDE?

I don't know what's up, but I don't show up on a google search for "burnside skatepark" anymore. For the longest time I was the number 2 link when searched, just under Skate Oregon. So when I didn't see my site as number 2 I started going through the pages looking for my link. I found it on page freakin 23. Who goes 23 pages into a google search? What the hell is up with that?
