"IN 1990 construction on a DIY skatepark in Portland, Ore., began underneath the Burnside Bridge, in the northeast part of town. Without the permission of the city, the local skateboard community took charge and created one of the first modern-day concrete skateparks in the Northwest. Word quickly spread throughout the area, and it wasn't long before Northwest BMXers started visiting the skatepark. Although the first BMXers to ride the park experienced hostility from the local skateboard community, the group persevered and continued to visit Burnside, riding early in the morning before any skateboarders arrived. Eventually, the BMX scene in Portland started to grow in numbers as a result of many early morning Burnside skatepark sessions. This is their story. -- Brian Tunney"
