skate journal: A brief spin on OG Rampy (Jan 12, 2013)

ollie the pool coping killer

On another super cold Saturday (12 degrees F) I went out to maybe skate Rampy, but the thought of inhaling all that dust again was too much. Instead I decided to tear out the pool coping and put the ol’ steel coping back on and have a ramp that doesn’t get me sick every time I skate it. That coping was so bad that one hit would break the whole thing up. It was surprisingly easy to tear it off. Not so easy to rebuild the decks/steel coping placement though. Before the losing football games started I got to a point where I put the coping on and gave it a trial run to make sure the spacing was good. It was so fun! I could grind again! And disgusting cement dust didn’t go flying! Cool.
