Level? Square?

Those are some good ideas, I guess. But in our world, we prefer the "eye it" technique. We don't have the luxury of having a frame to work off of so nothing ever really stays in place. We could stare at it for days and be like "but see that right there? that's gonna screw it up over here. And this, I dunno if this is gonna work", etc. Ultimately, we just gotta screw the f-er together and hope that it all comes out right in the end (and we don't feel to many kinks).


As you can tell, things are moving along. But heed my advice, if you don't got the time, forget about it. We could have been skating your basic ramp about a month ago but decided to take this on. It'll be worth it, but in the meantime, we're building - not skating.



Hopefully we'll have the other corner finished by the weekend and then we'll put down some layers - get some kick turns in. Lance Jr. is on the way so we gotta finish her up.

Huge shout-outs to our boys Keef and Seth. These dudes don't even skate and they are always down to help build. Keef was the one who said "lets keep going" at 1 in the morning - we kept at it till 2:30. That's what we call heart kids. Heart. And a steady flow of beer. I think this is the third build they have taken part in. Needless to say, they are both Down 4 Life.
