I have a few renders and many designs ramps and rails i just have to figure out the layout i would like to see in a skate park i would like to skate at. The material i have choosen are only a few mostly just a environmental concrete since a skate park is really just a concrete paradise for skaters.

awesome times at the local skateparks

I spent my tuesday afternoon at three of portland newest and best skateparks. I first went to to Ed Benedict, Burnside, and Glenhaven and collected some photos and asked the very few skaters that were there what they would like to see in a skateplaza and i got many ideas.
