The Central Oregon youngster likely has a long list of activities to keep them occupied. That cute kid brother (or sister) may very well spend the winters shredding the mountains and the summers shredding the skate parks—and in this neck of the woods, there's no shortage of fun stuff to put under the tree. Help them get after it with these gift ideas.
