Fiberglass ramps

More Thrasherland flotsam

OK, trying to tie up some loose ends. It’s getting hard to keep trak of everything around here. Here are some shots of the blue fiberglass ramps from the 70’s that found their way to Thrasherland and The Roxbourough in Philadelphia. There’s also a video clip of a modern day ramp using some pieces salvaged from Thrasherland after the jump. If you’ve sent me some Thrasherland/blue fiberglass ramp shots and I’ve failed to post them, please let me know. Same goes for Skateball shots.

Here’s a pic of me hittin the snake run on a Schmitt Stix blank we cut and shaped ourselves. Called ’em Yuckie Stix.
