FACEPLANT SKATE TOUR 2008 - Hood River

HOOD RIVER SKATE PARK *****
On July 18, 2008, a pretty big group of us from Team FacePlant headed to Hood River to skate and film. What do I have to say about Hood River Skate Park? Love it, love it, love it! Hood River is really spread out with tons of stuff to skate. They have a large street course and a good amount of vert to skate. On the street side of things there are plenty of hips, ledges, hubbas, rails, step-ups, banks and stairs to keep you busy just skating street. All of their obstacles seem to be fairly well repaired and kept up. On the vert side of things there is a gnarly, gigantic half-pipe sheeted with Skate-Lite. There was a competition taking place while we were there in a nice pool with various bowls...good coping too. We only were able to skate that in the morning. There is also a mini-bowl to try out mini-ramp type tricks and long grinds. Great set-up. Great environment. I give Hood River Skate Park a 5 star rating.
