got busted by cops the other day, is it not legal? i dont see why we got busted, it not a private road... or is it just the disturbing neighbors and what not

Unfortunately Pinnacle is a hit it quit it run in my opinion. Nearly every time I've been there and taken more than 3 or 4 runs even in small groups I've found myself talking to members of the Portland police. From what I gather from them some of the people that live in that neighborhood really hate us skating there and will say just about anything to get the cops to come harass us. Even total lies. Every time they just ask us to leave. Keep in mind that the laws that make it legal for us to skate in the street do not apply when your not following traffic laws ie. stand up slides in the other lane. I know there are no center lines there but if you've skated it you know most people slide on both sides of the rd. and its not really the place to be asserting our rights to skate on portland's streets so be cool when they show up or be a ninja and leave before the get there and skate something else.

yea the wealthier neighborhoods tend to frown on us skating their roads. If the cops come to ask you to leave, it's because they received complaints from the neighbors. Just be super respectful and leave right away. If you explore further down thompson, theres a multitude of runs to hit, so it's easy to never hit the same run twice
