Random Ramps!

Hi fellow Skaters,

The other day when we were out having fun in the pouring rain, I spotted the most random ramp I've ever seen! Lol

Random Ramps!

One of the things you might remain for your whole life, if you do it or not, is a skater! I know I am, even though I can't spend much time doing the actual skating, I still always look at certain things with a skaters eye.

We were at this very far beach the other day, nowhere near a skatepark and kind of a tough area to be going skating and what did I see? Someone converted a traffic barrier into an awesome little ramp! LOL It was amazing! Funny part too is I walked right by it on the way in without noticing it, only on the way back to our car did I see this gem, it brightened up my day for sure to see it!

I know that some pretty awesome skating has gone on with this thing if someone took the time to mix some cement and come here in the middle of the night when no one else was around. I get the feeling that the local residents wouldn't agree very much to this type of thing but they can't destroy it now so they just let it be.

It gives me hope that the next generation of skaters is like us, always looking for some skate spots! I've seen a lot more skaters around lately than I have in the past but it might be because we've been going to different cities. I've seen an increased number of them where we live too though, mainly just skating down the street but still an awesome sight to see!

What's the random place you were never expecting to see something skateboard related? This ramp is obviously not strictly for skating but it's most likely more focused for skaters instead of bikers or roller blading but you never know!

Yeah street was one of my favorites for a long time until they started to destroy all our spots lol. We would make more but it was nice to go to the park and roll around with some stuff that we knew wouldn't get messed up. Some of our spots are still there, all waxed up! Maybe I'll visit them one day and take some snaps of spots we used to frequent to share!

There's apparently a random cobbled together little skate park (as in someone or a group of someones may or may not have assembled it from parts rather than it being made "properly" even in this slightly haphazard fashion XD) on some out of the way walking trail by the river. JJ and youngest have been to it at least once (it's not near our place), I'll try to go with them next time to get some shots XD

This is pretty random and amusing and great, love it XD

Thanks for stopping by! It's indeed an awesome assembly of what seems like random pieces but they had the idea of skating in mind and made it happen! The smoothed out design of the upward launch of the ramp is well done! That's usually a nice metal tool that will do that so these guys weren't that bad at it! My favorite part was it being in such an obscure place lol

It's a lot of fun finding these places and it would be cool to see what your husband and kids have been enjoying! You could certainly share it in skate hive here :D

I do have some skating phtos and a couple of videos but none of them are great so haven't been shared. When it cools down a bit more youngest and I will try to go out skating again (at a park because he likes the ramps, I don't like the ramps so much XD) and see what we can get.

It looks as if one can get stuck on that ramp!! You go flying with the skateboard staying behind!!

Hahah yeah, it is indeed pretty treacherous! I would only do some stalls on it, not use it to launch out. Launching off that thing seems to be a death sentence.

That's amazing! The guy who did this is a real OG hahaha! Now I wanna skate a spot like this one daaaamn! Guess I should build one too hahaha!

The new generation of skarers mostly skates parks, at least in Greece! Not many of 'em skate the streets so I completely agree with you, it's nice to see more people using their brain to skate instead of skating safe park spots hehehe!

Getting creative at the streets is the best part in skateboarding for me!

Yeah dude I was so excited to see this out in the open like that! I haven’t seen many people out in the streets skating and waxing up stuff like we would lol we would steal candles from my mom all the time to go out and wax things up. Hopefully I see more street skaters but the parks nowadays are a lot cooler than the ones when I was starting out. Hopefully they don’t lose the street feel altogether though! Being able to look at a spot and convert it into some fun skating was awesome, some random places turned out to be a lot of fun back in the day lol
