Max writes in on 3/25:
I
went to the skatechurch in Portland last thursday
night--it was great! They have an adult session
from 6-9pm every thursday night. It cost 2 bucks
and you must sign a waiver. You also have to wear
a helmet in the warehouse, but no pads. You don't
need either in the basement street set up.
Although you have to listen to a 15-20 minute lecture/sermon
in the middle of the session it was not bad--the
sermon thing was not fanatical at all. They welcome
all--you don't have to be Christian. Of course you
can't drink beer there, but the warehouse they have
is sick.

The mini 4/12 feet is abt. 50-60 feet wide with
a corner on each side. It spines into a 7 foot or
soul smooth bowl. There is a great x games style
street set up with many different trannies, and
rails, pyramids, wall rides etc... Besides the warehouse
there is a street park in the church basement. An
assortment of rails, ledges, slants and small trannies
with tons of lines make this a blast. Everyone there
was cool, and I got in my fill of runs. It is masonite,
so those used to concrete stay on top of it.
The
picture is of Andy. He works there and is totally
cool. This is a mute air that he stalls until the
last second. The guy rips. Fakie to fakie spine
transfer(3' out) tweaked out-pumping out of it like
is was a setup trick.
Directions:
It's
at the corner of NE Glison St. and 90th Ave. near
interstate 205.
The deal is: Over 18 session-2
bucks-Thursday-6:30 to 9 with a 15 minute
preachin' in the middle=totally worth it. If you
or any of your friends are in town on a Thursday,
this
not to be missed. I'm going to get on them about
havin some more nights added.
