I like weird things. My friend Jason Beaudry is weird, and he too, likes weird things. So when it was time to build his ramp he decided to make one that is nearly impossible to skate. Which, is pretty weird.
I was stoked to get a little scratch 50/50 and elated when I landed a BS rock’n’roll boardslide on this thing. I can’t even get a frontside grind without falling. But I suck, so that really isn’t an accurate measuring stick. You should instead refer to this little video I put together last summer after a session that involved Jason, his brother Josh, and some of Josh’s friends. The music is by Nik Freitas He’s pretty good too. I asked Jason, when he was building his ramp, “hey man, why is your ramp so steep?” His response was, “I want something that is like skating a ledge…but with transition.” What a weirdo.

looks fine to me, but then again, growing up in mississippi i have built smaller mini ramps out of road construction scraps.
