We made the ramp in sections. We started with the quarter pipe in the middle of the corners, which we built in ’08. Then, in 2010 we built the escalator bank with the mellow corner, and last spring we built the other corner with 60 year old pool coping we got from a local pool. We found all the fill and and scraps right in my back yard. After we finished that corner, the homies over at NJ skate shop asked if we were looking to extend the ramp more, so we couldn’t pass it up.
They hooked it up with the funds to build a quarter with brick pool coping on the opposite side of the existing ramp, which is perfect to do never ending lines, so thank you Steve and Chris and NJ. The paint job was just done in June thanks to the homie Josh Spooner. The most fun times are the palooza parties, when we get all the rats to come out and rage a bon fire, guzzle beers, and shred the ramp.
The only advice I have for other homies crete-ing is take your time and plan shit out. I’d like to thank all the homies that put in the hard work, and help pay for cement, Andy Enos, Jordan Gesko, Spooner brothers, Joe Berger, Paul London, Eric Elliot, John Gardner, Sloan Palder, and Steve and Chris at NJ skateshop.
