Shad Johnson (pictured above) from Goods BMX, a shop here in Portland, put together a day of riding at some of the local skateparks, aimed at getting some of the older riders from the area together (and or back on their bikes). A bunch of the older crew came out, some from as far away as Ashland (the legendary Dave Nourie), and a bunch of the younger generation met up with us as well. Things got started out a little rocky, with some rain and clouds coming in and out, but by mid-day things had cleared up, and shredding had ensued. I skipped the first stop (West Linn) thinking it would be rained out (it wasn’t), but made it to Tigard in time for the second spot of the day. We followed up Tigard with a stop in Vancouver, WA, and ended the day in Battleground, WA. Check out some photos after the jump. Like the day itself, it’s a mix of older and younger riders.
