As Summer winds down, I present you with a gratuitous sweaty beaver shot and two weak tabletops from a few weeks ago.

To me, rickety backyard ramps have always been way more fun than any skatepark (plus no little grommets continuously snaking runs). The wooden ramp is about an hour from my house and built from the carcass of Mesh Skatepark's  (Chad D's world famous Orlando skatepark) spine ramp. The metal ramp in the (blurry, self-shot) lower pic is in my backyard, just completed last weekend. After 6 months of building with no help (ok, very little help), it's finally starting to come together. 

For boring, play-by-play construction photos of the steel ramp, visit my blog , carrot-bag.blogspot

So yeah, dodgy backyard ramps are the way to go, splinters, tetanus, lawsuits, the best!

Notice the pained expression of constipation, Wayne Keller, 41 years, 24" cruiser, same as it ever was...
much thanks to Chip Riggs for the b&w photos, I shot the crappy lower photo....
