Title: The ramps that Carlo built
Post by: insectbones on October 10, 2013, 12:51 PM
Always keep a POS bike in my van just incase i get a chance to ride somewhere on my travels...On Tuesday i had a spare couple of hours while working in my hometown, so paid a visit to Carlo Griggs' ramps

They are showing their age now, there's holes in places but was still a blast, and i only planted my face once  ;D
Carlo's kids still ride there pretty much every afternoon.
Anyway, some photo's of the ramps....

the reason it`s going is he building houses on the land ,shame as would be moving there next year and would be right on my door step  . you need to ask before riding the ramps as still classed as private property . one of the kids said it was fine for me to ride when last went there .

Is it actually coming down?  :(

I did go in the cafe and ask what the deal was with riding them, and was told "help yourself whenever you like"

Ithink Carlo has been planning on building for ages, ithink the reason why they don't get used anymore as he's moved his warehouse/office to selsey
