DIYBowlTransitionVertPool coping

Skaters began pouring concrete against a wall under the east end of the Burnside Bridge on Halloween night 1990, without permission; the city later accepted it, and the donation-funded DIY with hips, pools and vertical walls is regarded as the first DIY park.

Heads up · Steep, tight transitions and a strong local crew, so watch a few runs before you drop in.

  • Always → a helmet (required at many parks and every track), and pads for transition and dirt

How the read works

We track the water on the ground hour by hour, starting two days back. Rain adds to it; sun, wind and dry air take it away (the forecast's evaporation figure, which folds all three together); frost locks it in. Concrete sheds most of a downpour and dries in a couple of hours on a good day. Dirt soaks it up and takes a day or more, and riding it while it's mud ruts it. It's a model, not a camera: shady corners and the bottom of a bowl hold water longer. Weather from Open-Meteo.
