Funny really but the old saying we say a lot is kids have it easy today is true as early 80`s we all started riding bmx and back then there was only a handful of places to ride and none were ever local to where we were , so what did a group of bmxer`s do and that was build ramps where ever they could .Back then there was a lot of disused places which after a sweep up could house a ramp of sorts , so sunday morning (the days when the shops or building places were closed) we head over to a local building merchants and see what we could have from pallets to long sheets of worn plywood ,after struggling to get the lot back from using skateboards to wheeling it back we had the wood and a place to build it , Next on the list was nails so after a quick ride back to home ,i used to fleece my dads nails and hammer (he still bring it up about how he never had any nails for anything bitd) and then we start our own homebrew style kick style ramp . by this time it was afternoon and once built we had many hours of fun riding it till we either had to go home for dinner or it got dark .
We used to do the same the next day and the day after until like all things someone spoil the party from smashing the ramp up or setting fire to it ,sad times but we just did the same the weekend again and just kept making ramps but found other places more hiding from general idiots so they stay up longer .i have some pictures somewhere of some of the ramps we built and boy they were great days
