Baltimore gets de-pantsed
July 24th, 2008 by Kilwag
The Baltimore Art Examiner reports that city workers “accidentally” destroyed a skate ramp known as the “Pants Ramp” that was part of a year long outdoor art exhibit called “Outdoor Lounge.” The City’s story might be more believable if it weren’t for the fact that the demolition took place at 3 am in the morning, and it was apparently the only part of the exhibit that was harmed. No word on if Baltimore favorite skater hater and golf cart driving police officer was somehow involved. Get the full scoop. If you can put aside the skate harassment angle for a second, it’s intersting that the Pants Ramp was designed as a prototype first hole of a putt-putt golf course where each hole would be skateable. Yes today is mix an match skateboarding with (slightly more) mainstream sports. - Thanks to Stephanie Murdock from S.O.B. for the tip.

We are planning a contest for the “Pants Ramp” in celebration of it being fixed and skate-able once again. The format is going to be “Baggy Pants vs. Tight Pants” I’m keeping a look out for the most ridiculous pair of pants that I can find. Good thing we are not in Flint.
