Title: Crimes against ramp building #1
Post by: TheOriginalNutter on May 03, 2006, 09:32 PM: There was a lot of building going on in our village.
One Christmas, once the sites had knocked off for the holidays, we 'got in' to the compound and liberated enough materials (and tools) to make ourselves a halfpipe.
We all got a couple of weeks of riding out of it :angel:

Oh, and thats a HARDBOARD surface ...

Peeps in the photo are Elliott (now on 24" i believe), Stu Smith (thats a Haro race bike) and Jay "Sponge" Allen (now ruling trails and parks worldwide)
