The Bridge / Burnside Skatepark Feb.2024

This small documentary is a time capsule of a few of the locals at Burnside Skatepark, captured on several days of February 2024. Kipp Kruger filmed and edited the entire work through the winter cohort project of Open SIgnal in Portland, Or. A big thanks to all the participants and to Open Signal for the amazing opportunity.

The epitome of skateboarding culture right here. Not some big money contests, not the biggest raddest tricks, just pure vibes!

I remember seeing Josh falk skate for the first time. Straight boosted a front side air and still burned in my memory today. This was at the YMCA fairgrounds in Salem late 90s. Nice video.

What a great overview of Burnside! I’ve lived here for 4 years and never knew the history of the park. Just bought a board and started skating again 2 weeks ago, def going to be visiting soon!

This is awesome. Loving the February in Portland feel

Really enjoyed this. I learned things and was entertained. Some good deep stories here too.

Shit looks smooth now. The smell if Tazo tea at night. BBQs, RVs and chainsaws. Safety meetings and PBRs. Star Trek band members on Holloween parties. Once, knew a NewZealander that moved to Portland,OR just to skate here. I learned to skate here. I hurt my knee real bad here. Shit, i even slept here when i didnt have a place to go to. BuuurnnSiide!

Been going to Burnside since 93, I'm stoked how far the skatepark has come over the years. Had some good times down there and seen some crazy shit in all spectrums.
