Duh!

In response to the post entitled "Name that Spot," I came across this picture today which gave me a definitive answer: Oregon. Duh! The reason we didn't skate the previously unnamed spot was because we were skating this one on the same property. Damn. 2003 was a good year.

I later learned that a guy I knew from New Mexico who grew up in Oregon was really mean and used to throw the guy who built this spot, as well as the previously unnamed spot, in the trashcan every day before school. Every day? Geez. That seems a little excessive.

Nevertheless, the guy who built this bowl ran into us at Donald and invited us over to his crib to hang out and skate this thing right around the time the construction on it was being finished up. Really fun and, at the time, incredible that people were doing this sort of thing. Notice something? That's right. It's a barn constructed over the bowl. I.e., this is something similar to what they're trying to accomplish down in Shelby right now if you'd get off your ass and go donate $100, or whatever you can part with, to preserve that bowl. Few better causes have existed in the history of mankind, so make sure you come out on the right side of events and can actually tell your kids you accomplished something during your otherwise failed existence.
