Jeep Takes on Storied Skatepark, Loses Big

By John Coyle

Deputy Editor

If you’ve played Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, you’ll definitely recognize Burnside, and I think Thrasher Magazine’s headline—”What the F**k?”—sums up this image perfectly. Now, I don’t know why somebody thought it would be a good idea to take a Jeep into a skatepark, but I’m pretty sure the answer comes in a bottle or can. I actually spent a day skating Burnside a few years back—it’s in Portland, Oregon—so I’m pretty familiar with the layout, and the transitions are really steep. So I ‘m kind of confused about how this Jeep got far enough the face of pool to flip, and I’m seriously [expletive deleted] confused  about why we don’t have video of this bail.  Seriously, nobody had a video camera? Let’s hope this stupid stunt didn’t screw up the park at all, as it’s a great place that was built illegally and then later officially sanctioned by the city.  Maybe they should paint a “No 4x4s” next to the “No Bikes?” Check out four more pics after the jump.

I think “NO MORONS” on the wall should cover it, but what’s the point? True morons would only be encouraged. This was fate.

they shouldve put a chalk outline around the jeep, an evidence tag by the oil.
and scattered some empty shell casings around it.

That’s crazy, I drove by the skate park yesterday and everything seemed fine. I must have just missed it, dammit.

They must’ve taken the “Only in a Jeep” ads too seriously. There are some places that even Jeeps shouldn’t tread.
