Fri Jul 21, 06 8:36 am New Spot Found! Downtown PDX! |

Here's a new spot to play. Thinking it should be called "CSO Headquarters!" I launched from a floating dock just south of the Hawthorne bridge on the east side. Ended up under the Marquam Bridge on the west side. Near floating Newport bay restaurant. The wind is NOT very good. Lots of turbulance from bridges, buildings ect.
The bums did not know what to make of me
Special thanks to my launch crew!

Did you grind the docks?
solo sessions with a tricky launch
and no clear exit strategy are so fun.

I'm super jealous Mark... I was out there on Wednesday night scoping it out. I was thinking it'd be sweet to roll out of my condo down there and launch right out of Waterfront park...
I wonder if the wind would have been more bearable with some flat kite technology?
Anyway, congrats to you and hope Bammer got some sweet pics.

What I really needed was more wind! You do have a great peanut gallery on the resturant docks!
Bam, dont worry. The cool pics are under wraps!

That's sooo cool! I have always wanted to ride downtown under the bridges
Is it legal though? Actually, I guess its always legal until you get caught!
Lets see the pics
