Haven’t you heard? Because it rains during the winter in Portland. Egbert’s got a micro-miniramp in his garage, complete with a low ceiling and pool coping. I swear this thing is less than 3 feet tall. Sometimes the amount of fun you can have is inversely proportional to the size of the transition. Pics after the jump.
Very cozy, but fun. This ramp pretty much takes up the whole (small) one car garage, with about 2 feet to spare between the door and the back of the narrow platform. And because it’s Portland, is has the requisite extensions and grind bar that can be added just to make it easier to slam. Click the pics to enlarge.
Rob is about to fakie his way back into the ramp.

Panda Pete. This is what happens when you cram 8 feet of skater in 5 feet of photograph.
Welcome to my spot. Rob BS air, Egbert throwing horns.

Ha Ha! My hand looks messed up in that photo. I don’t even know what kind of style that is. That was a fun session.
Hey Mark, maybe she can buy you a roof for Pier.

If a comment written by a human is indistinguishable from machine spam doesn’t that make it spam? Now about that Cialis, Double A.

Benji G gets full credit for making that rall jam thing happen. I’ll post up some video sometime. Oh, and it is 2.5′ tall, so you are correct sir.
