So the joke goes, (my joke, by the way) that zoning ordinances and building codes in Portland require that any mini ramp built on private property must have at least one extension that goes to within one foot of the ceiling, an over-vert section, or a three foot or smaller transition. Apparently those rules apply to Beaverton as well. My friend Marek built himself a miniramp in his garage with really tight transitions, and of course, pool coping. MC and I went to check it out the other night.
When we first walked into the grarage I had to fight the temptation to turn around and leave. It looked impossibly tight and unrideable, but it actually ended up being a lot of fun. It was still impossibly tight though. Expect to get a lot of ankle bites and groin injuries when you ride this.
Marek didn’t seem to have any problems what so ever. MC adapted fast as well. MC is a smartass.
Marek certainly can ride this thing.
Note the sweatshirt over the garage door tracks that Mark kept gouging his side on. I didn’t have my fisheye lens on me so I was crammed into the corners of the garage trying to get some shots. If I had the fisheye you would get to see the full compliment of baby furniture and construction apparatus piled up in front of the garage doors.
Marek, just before the creature came out of the attic and ate his brains. That ledge in front of him has a parking block slated to go there as soon as Marek cuts it down to length.

Aw, you are missing out on the best spam. I try not to hijack threads but these guys at 419eater.com are hilarious. They bait spammers and get them to do ridiculous stuff. http://www.419eater.com/html/trophy_room6.htm

Yeah but do children of deceased Nigerian diplomats with embezzled fortunes trust you enough to help get their millions out of the country?

When Eddie Murphy ordered a White Russian in the movie 48hrs, the bartender asked him if he’d rather have a Black Russian.

That cat picture makes me crack a smile every time I see it. Hey Rob, can you email me the source for that cat so I can randomly include it in other pictures? I guess I could use my own cat, actually. Nevermind.
marek

Marek-i dunno about skating Slovics/Czechs, but the ones that dont skate that i know live there or lake oswego-my guess is because they have bank. I dunno why i sed that, thinking out loud and caffine forced my hand maybe. I will gladly bring the Obolones and Slovotich to session your humble masterpiece.
