The most fun you can have with two and a half feet

What can be said? Things are going well. We're stoked. We're glad we did it. We're happy the way it came out (for the most part). We're having fun.

Lance, BS Five-O around the corner.


I went and took a stab at the new and improved Delaware Water Gap Vert Ramp during the holiday's. It now has 12' corners to close off the deep end.

The amount of speed needed to huck yourself around these corners was just insane. And that's just to get to the top of the damn thing. And if you are really skating it, you're on a level that few can touch. I'm not sure who came up with the term "vert jock", but who ever did never stood on a deck 12 feet up and had someone kick a backside air in their face. Do that and then talk shit. Until then, vert is tops in my book - and should be in yours.

Allen (the lucky owner)


Irene (watching her skate might be one of the most amazing things ever)


During that same time, there were rumblings in the gayrage as well, but no evidence to prove such a thing. Not that it matters.

the pen is mightier than the saw

Blessing came over and did some work, thankfully it wasn't with a saw.

More of this to come and hopefully it'll make it look really done.

He skated too


Pdubbsz feeble attempt to get around the corner.


He mini-ramped this hurricane to fakie, but we'll let it go... this time!

(just to be clear, these are legit tricks, I'm just a wise ass)

It's Official... Almost

I think it's safe to say that this puppy is done. We still have a few pieces to tack down to complete the decks, but we're not gonna worry too much about it. Right now it's fully skateable and that's what we plan on doing. We might get to finishing the decks, but after the session we had last night, it's really not a big deal. Furthermore, based on how much fun this thing is, the skating might distract us from ever getting to the decks.







This thing might be one of the craziest things I ever skated, and there are lines to be had, it might take a bit to find em', but they are there! It took awhile to actually get to this point, but it's well worth it. A regular back-n-forth ramp would have been fine, but would've gotten dull pretty quick. On this thing, every time you drop in, you're in for a surprise - and a challenge.
