SLC Ramp ban temporarily lifted
“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.
