The 2007 Portland race season begins on the first weekend in January. This race will be 7 miles - RAIN (hopefully) OR SHINE!! The Skate Route and other legal* downtown streets will be featured in this course. The race will begin at the Macadam Bay Club and follow the Willamette Greenway Trail through John's Landing. The course continues along SW Moody Ave. to Riverplace where we will start the uphill climb along SW River Parkway to SW Harrison & SW 4th Avenue. We will pass City Hall, then continue on SW Madison past the Multnomah County Jail, Portland Police Department, and the Federal Building. The route will cross the Hawthorne Bridge, follow the Eastside Esplanade to the Steel Bridge, and back across to Waterfront Park. The finish line will be under the west side of the Hawthorne Bridge.

The Portland Pusher began in 2003 to showcase skateboarding as a way of transportation, and as a test of skill and endurance. Since then, it has evolved into a series that includes 2 races per year- 1 in the winter and 1 in the summer. Each race has a unique course. The sponsors have been VERY generous. Without their support it would just be a long ride across town! I would like to thank all sponsors past and present for their help in keeping racers STOKED!! The series will continue as long as there are racers and pavement!

*It is legal to skate on any street or sidewalk in the city 24 hours a day outside of the defined downtown core. In the downtown core area–defined geographically by Naito Parkway to the east, 13th Avenue to the west, Northwest Hoyt Street to the north and Southwest Jefferson Street to the south–you are allowed to skate in the street only, not on the sidewalk.

The City of Portland has designated certain downtown streets as "preferred skating routes." These streets will be signed as skate routes. Outside of downtown, the Portland Office of Transportation recommends skaters use designated bike routes. Those routes are signed for bicycles and will be signed for skating in the future. To obtain more information on the city’s bike routes and to get a map, please call Transportation Options at 503-823-CYCL(2925).

There is NO skating allowed on any portion of the downtown transit mall on 5th and 6th Avenues or on the walkways in the center of the downtown park blocks.

All skaters under the age of 16 years old must wear a helmet at all times while skating. If you skate after sunset, you must wear either reflective materials, a flashing reflector or a light on both your front and back. All skaters using the city streets must obey the same rules of the road that apply to bicycles.

Any violation of the new skate rules carries a $25 fine. If you are under 16 and get caught skating without a helmet, your parent or guardian will be notified of the violation.

Remember, it is still ILLEGAL to skate on private property or to cause damage to any ledges, stairs, rails or other urban architecture. Other applicable laws still apply to this illegal behavior and these laws will be strictly enforced by the Portland Police Bureau. It is also still illegal to skate on any brickwork, cobblestones or ornamental surface, picnic table, tennis court, fountain area, planter or sculpture located in a public area (City Ordinance 20.12.205).*
