Talent Skatepark - Talent, Oregon, U.S.A.

Talent in 2004 is an ok park. There's a lot of worn down concrete and coping. It's still gonna be a fun ride.

They finished the right side, now it's this HUGE spine. They have another hip, it's kind of like one huge bowl. There is something like a 12' quarter on the other side with 2 elbows from the spine to the quarter to the other quarter. The rest still isn't finished as of January, but I guess the whole park should be finished by the end of this summer. I think it's worth checking out, the skaters there seem to like it a lot. How in the HELL did this town get a skatepark anyway?!? - Josh

Well this park is somewhat different than most being built by crappy landscape architects. This one is an actual bowl! The side on the right isn't finished yet and I don't know when plans for it to be done are. The hip is real good going into he deep end but there isn't a lot of time to turn around and go back the other way. The wall to the right is considerably higher than the left, leaving you feeling lopsided. Still pretty fun though. (1997)
