    im pretty new to portland.
    but back in ohio there are some pretty rad shit to do.
    like....dodgeball tourney, jumproping, kickball...etc.

    ^^^Monday Funday rules! I'ts been a while since I made it out for kickball. Def. good times. As for league kick/dodgeball look into Underdogs Portland. I played in a couple of their bowling tournaments. Fun people who all like to get wasted. I've also been wanting to get my urban spitgolf idea off the ground. Anybody interested?

    Similar, except it's played with a much bigger ball...more like kickball size as opposed to tennis ball size. Plus you don't intend on hitting people in wallball.

    iv been skating for a number of years. i can show you all the spots around here. or map them. theres a lot of stairs but ledges, good manual pads, and good rails are scarce.

    That's good shit spencer. I used to skate Madison all the time. There is a sweet marble ledge and a bunch of those plastic picnic tables in the courtyard me and my friends used to do all kinds of crazy shit with. I've never quite had the balls to pop down the Washington stairs you so effortlessly heelflipped down. I'd probably break something if I tried to skate now, I'ts been a while.

  9.  

    holy shit nice video spenser. i skated for 5 years and wasn't nearly that good.

    yah that's one thing I enjoyed. I would even bring my little bros out to it cause it was that chill. I love zoobomb. some people can get cliquish but that happens anytime you get a big group together. one time my messenger bag was stolen from the park by a bum, and everyone spanned out on bike to try and find the bum who took it.

    jarome, I'm down to go it's hard for me on sundays cause I don't get out of work until 930, i've bombed on my track bike before with no lights sketch as fuck, wouldn't recommend it haha. at least I've been down that route/hill a couple hundred times which made it better.

    i love the zoobomb idea, but it is seriously ten times more fun on a minibike. also, imagine being on a little bike when a gang of fixed gear crazies come running up on you. unless jerome is talking about a fixed gear bomb that's not on sunday night...
