Bend
Ponderosa Skatepark


    The standing wave peaks at about 6', most of it vert.  The Great Pyramids are steep and burly.
The park is divided in half by a curb about 8" tall, with ramps on the extreme left and right.
It has a center box and a cool saddle joining the 8' and 5' bowls.

History: A broad community effort.  I don't know the details.  It seems to be the Ryan Patrick Graves Memorial Skatepark.

Overall:  The curb across the park is an open gash, painful, self inflicted.  5 out of 10.

Special:  Concrete wave, Hawaiian style.
