80’s Mattress Sale!

Once upon a time in the fabled past known as “The 80’s,” I briefly had a miniramp in my front yard. I was supposed to be in college but I was spending all my time skateboarding and hanging out with the bands in the house I lived in. A friend of mine who would later […]

Jerry-rigged fun

This “miniramp” setup cracks me up. It’s created from some quarter pipes made for use in the street.

Barnside

Another frankenramp creation, Barnside (unofficial name) is somewhere in the Kansas City area. Four videos after the jump. Chin Ramp indeed. – Thanks to Dave Campbell for the tip.
