SLC Ramp ban temporarily lifted
October 3rd, 2008 by Kilwag
“Health board blinks, suspends ban on backyard skate ramps.” That’s the title of the article in the Salt Lake Tribune. SLC ramp owners and would-be builders have a six month reprieve while county officials “…study the noise issue, hold more public hearings, then present a new recommendation.” Skaters converged on the Health Board hearing to protest the ban. I especially like one skater’s shirt that read “Skate Utah (just not in your own backyard).” Officials back peddled a bit in public statements, reminding me of a certain situation in Tigard, Or. Things are looking up SLC ramp builders. We’ll check back in six months. Until then, check Skate Utah for any updates. - Thanks to Tito for the tip.

Wait, wait, wait. Utah skaters score a victory (however short term) against the totalitarian Mormon regime of SLC and the best photo you could post was a BMXer at some sort of X-treme Game contest? C’mon Kilwag, you disappoint.
