Gee, I wish we could ride outside year round with optimal weather.

This has been a LONG time coming in Portland. there are no legal trails here so this is going to help us out! Now to just get some One Ghost Industries Tanto's in there as rentals!

konadog17 (May 13, 2011 at 20:01)

Good Idea Don't get peeps hopes up Portland could use a place like that

o0sea0o (May 15, 2011 at 5:24)

20

chrispilling (May 12, 2011 at 18:16)

10

despar66 (May 12, 2011 at 18:44)

20

gwgardner (May 12, 2011 at 19:18)

10

despar66 (May 12, 2011 at 19:20)

10

Dominator13 (May 13, 2011 at 7:15)

Despars,
You just aren't old enough to drive 20 - 60 minutes to get to some of the most epic riding that California has! :-) I'll ask your Dad if you can go with us sometime. Also, sell that beast and get a 6" travel bike and pedal up any of those hills you live right by.

thecarpy (May 13, 2011 at 21:43)

Oh, I thought he was being sarcastic.

10

syncro (May 13, 2011 at 23:51)

Alberta is next to BC... riding is pretty good here !

10

thecarpy (May 13, 2011 at 23:53)

Thanks, sherlock.

lyonsmtb-trailtours (May 12, 2011 at 19:13)

yeah looks sick... but never going to happen.... it will get to the phaze were they need money and die.... and if it does happen all the stupid wanna be bmx riders will take it over and the whole thing will smell like weed, booze, and spraypaint

71

collin7 (May 12, 2011 at 19:35)

but i love weed and booze...

20

nouser (May 12, 2011 at 20:42)

There's gonna be an xc loop for you Debbie.

10

SirWonky (May 12, 2011 at 21:22)

I can describe in TWO WORDS why this place is gonna have a hard time opening ------- FIRE MARSHAL.

There was an wooden indoor skatepark in P-town before that got closed cuz the F.M. wanted a 75,000 dollar sprinkler system installed......(cuz somebody might drop their doobie while riding , I guess)

20

nouser (May 24, 2011 at 20:11)

phantom, it hasn't failed skatebarn in seattle yet, nor will it fail lumberyard. the crew in charge is definitely made up of dedicated guys, and wonky, there will be red tape to cut through for sure, but it will be gotten around. Portland needs a place like the lumberyard, and if the matt, will and the in charge have anything to say about it- the place will get built. Some of the same people involved in the NW school of freeride are involved in this project, and they've got some investors lined up- it will get built.

40

cyrix (May 12, 2011 at 18:27)

So where's all the guys who usually show up in these articles saying this is stupid and a waste of space? I sure remember how much they were shitting on Rays parks.

10

nouser (May 24, 2011 at 20:12)

and look @ ray's- they just opened a 2nd one!

40

sburback (May 12, 2011 at 20:16)

If you build it we will come!!!! I'm suddenly not so bummed about living in rainy Portland.

21

special-jLeslie FL (May 12, 2011 at 21:16)

The two outer jump lines featured at 0:23 are literally the exact same thing as the intermediate and expert lines at Rays.... a LOT of other stuff looks extremely similar as well, especially the little skatepark style area. Come on, guys.

10

kohlaumer (Mar 30, 2012 at 7:10)

the exact same almost

10

TimRidesBikes (May 13, 2011 at 21:06)

awesome, nice to see city officials are allowing somebody to do something rad. unlike Spokane, WA. city officials who are too busy sucking eachothers c#%ks to want to do anything else like let some people open an indoor bike park in any one of the many long time vacant buildings here. guess some cities are just better than others. no wonder mine has the nick name "methlehem."

10

WonderAnt10 (May 12, 2011 at 19:33)

OMG! We need one of those in Montreal. You have to travel a minimum of an hour to get anything worthwhile and something like that could keep me sane in the winter

20

transitionrider19 (May 12, 2011 at 22:12)

the n-dub needs this with all our rain! ill deff. be driving to p-town to ride as often as i can!

20

bansheevod (May 13, 2011 at 0:21)

VOD O_o will be nice to have one in russia but i guess it is kinda impossible... -_-

20

ORgrown420 (May 12, 2011 at 17:06)

This is sick, portland needs more mtb friendly stuff

20

ctownbike (May 12, 2011 at 17:28)

10

cainking (May 12, 2011 at 18:24)

im stoked i live in nor cal but ill drive there...who cares next stae over!!!!

10

cooldudethatate (May 12, 2011 at 22:08)

If you got this skatepark rendered already can you make it into a bmx or mtb game? No one has made one in the longest time!

10

scriz (May 12, 2011 at 22:52)

Such good news! Crossing fingers that this gets off the ground, I would definitely buy a pass.

20

csucsnowman (May 12, 2011 at 23:50)

bring it to Seattle! there's shit up here.

10

curler (May 16, 2011 at 13:53)

10

nouser (May 24, 2011 at 20:12)

seattle's go skatebarn...and if you drive 3 hours south, it will be there!

10

soulution (May 13, 2011 at 19:12)

50

TdeskO (May 12, 2011 at 16:34)

10

stevehayes (May 16, 2011 at 11:21)

I got a mix of Joyride and Rays, but more so Rays.

20

Isolated-T-Storms (May 12, 2011 at 16:42)

Looks a lot like Rays.

10

thatkid9 (May 12, 2011 at 17:07)
