FACEPLANT SKATE TOUR 2008 - Lincoln City

.

LINCOLN CITY SKATE PARK ***

FacePlant Ministries had its Winter Camp on the Oregon Coast in Rockaway by default this year. The cool thing is, that Lincoln City, about an hour south of where we were staying had a somewhat covered skate park. The problem is, the rain and wind were so bad that the covered part was still wet, which made for tough skating conditions. On top of that it was stinking cold. After a while part of the park was dry enough to skate for a while. Josh, Robbie, Ricky, Cody, Kyle, Chris Cory, Eric and I were all present. They all ripped even with the tough conditions. Under the covered area is a really small street section with a table-top, couple of ledges and a rail in the middle with two quarter pipes on either side. It is a bit hard to get a lot of speed because the street course is so short. If the weather is good, this would be a vert skater's paradise with a nice covered big bowl section and a new huge half-pipe slalom section being built. The locals there are super good at vert and trip out on anyone that can skate "tech." Seeing as we didn't have a chance to skate the entire park, I give it a 3 star rating for the mere size of it, especially with the addition they are constructing.
