Bowls in a garage

Extreme Garage Ramp Makeover

I found this on Dan Hughes’ Northwest Skater site. There’s a guy who had what looked to be a really nice miniramp in his garage. Not one to remain satisfied, he decided to tear it out and build some roundwall instead. I don’t know the owner, or where he lives, so don’t ask. Instead, just enjoy some pictures and videos, and think of what you can do for yourself. Thanks to Dan for letting me cop these.

First, we’ll start with the old ramp.

Hand poured cement coping!

Looking good!

Here’s what replaced it. Looks fun as hell. Probably more challenging than the miniramp.
