I just sold my mini ramp. It was hard to even list the thing, but it went to a super rad mom. Her 9 year old son had just gotten into skating and is out on his board every day. Going into the summer she wanted to buy the ramp so he could get outside and skate at home. I let him take some test laps. It was watching how stoked he was skating it, and knowing it would be in his yard soon.

His mom told him he better skate it a bunch. He said "I will. This is way better than Fortnite". This got me thinking about the rad parents out there letting their kids have fun.

Me and my parents don't get along the best, but they were pretty damn cool about my outdoor activities as a kid. I started building ramps for my bike when I was 7 or 8 I think. The first one was a small maybe 2' wide 1' tall dirt jump I build using Tonka trucks to transport material.

To all the parents that take their kids skiing, bought them a trampoline, let them ruin the yard with a summer setup, helped them built a skate/bike ramp, cheers to you! Thank you for continuing to keep the stoke alive! You're rad as hell!
