Damn that place looks incredible! I love finding things like that!
The local guy with a mini ramp, what more could you want for a hidden gem?! We didn’t have many of those but we did end up building something in a friends back yard and skated it for several months before it deteriorated. It was such a great few weeks!
It’s cool that your fiancée is interested in skating, that’s a lot of fun when they try it with you. My wife got pretty good at snowboarding but then got an important job so she couldn’t hurt herself, then we had a kid so hopefully someday she will hit the slopes with me again!

It's crazy how much of a hidden gem it is. It's a REALLY nice ramp. A solid 25-30 feet wide, maybe 4 foot tall, really well built; it's still crazy to me how none of the skate community had even known about it during the first 5 years after it's construction.
I got her to start skating a little bit last year. She was insanely natural in the way she just pushed from the first hour. She is definitely very intimidated though so it takes a lot of convincing and I don't think she believes me when I tell her how rare her immediate comfort and form with it is. I hope she keeps up the interest. And she was no worse at snowboarding. This winter was her first efforts and she could link turns almost immediately. Again, I don't think she believed me when I tried to convince her she was so naturally talented. But I think she's definitely going to continue to do both when she has time.
You gotta get the kid on a board! Then she definitely will!
