KY Wood

A privately funded effort to reply the monster vert ramp at the Louisville, Kentucky Extreme Park. Remember, when the park was built the Mayor had high hopes of luring the X Games to town. I don’t think that ever played out, did it? No official word on how to donate, but if you’re interested, I […]

Front yard action

I had a miniramp that was in my front yard once. It was pretty much my whole front yard. The platforms reached from the front porch to the sidewalk in front of the house. Of course it was only eight feet wide and and PVC coping. This ramp belongs to Micah Breshears who lives in […]

Flyers and video scrapbook of […]

Gene Boles has a DIY spot in his back yard called My DIY. Here’s one of the obstacles and he’s got another one in the works. In the grand tradition of these endeavors, you can drop a few bones and pick up some schwag to help the effort. Check it out on My DIY.

SOTW 1-10-11: Shillside and goth band sand

The city of Zurich, Switzerland had no transition until a group of locals got together and took it upon themselves to take the D.I.Y. route instead of waiting for someone else to do it for them. The result is called Sihlside. This week’s Shot of the Week is a Nicolas Buechi photo of… crud. Forgot […]
