my son's skate ramp

As someone who's skated ramps and helped build them for the love all that's holy don't let anyone on that thing.
 


I remember when I was 16, some guys in my neighborhood stole a grip of ply and 2x4 from a construction site and we build a monster half pipe with a foot of vert in one of their back yards. To this day that was the best ramp I ever skated. I know...cool story bro, but I got nostalgic for the good ol days when I saw that ramp. I built some ghetto shit like that in my day too..ok maybe not that ghetto. LOL'z
 
I remember when I used to live in a shitty house, waste my time with children and shit.

Now I just count money all day.
 
I wouldnt even know where to drop, but all for him... you should see the floatable sliders I have made to kiteboard/wakeboard, bolts where sticking out of everywhere after the first hit

and to think those were actually built with a single piece of plywood (well one of them) and the outcome was that...i can only imagine how well built your sons first hammer and nail attempt was...
 
i like the cardboard box at the top

its like a booby trap lol

put it out in the street and see if any neighbor kids try and skate it

That's not cardboard its Double cardboard -- its fine.


Seriously If he starts from the cardboard -- it looks like it might last for a ride or two -- maybe.
Unless that weather beaten piece of plywood snaps, or if it falls off that (Can't tell what its resting on -- a large planter?) thing. Of course, even if he sticks the landing I think he's fucked on that side of the ramp, there's no room to land.

I mean this kid better be a really fuckin lucky skateboarding star to survive.

I wish him all the best luck -- kid's got balls.
 
You may as well let him ride it, 15 year old kids are retards, hell 23 year old men are retards too. I remember a ski jump I took at 23 and landed on my neck (friends that saw it swore I was gonna end up a quad), my gear was spread out over about 30 yards of snow in each direction, I walked down to the lodge bar and drank the pain away. He's gonna do it regardless of whether you take the ramp down this time or not. At that age he's under the impression he's indestructible, although listen to the other posters that suggest moving it to another neighbors property for insurance reasons.
 
he's gonna drop in tomorrow...funny thing is..i just got off the phone with his mom as she was pulling up to the drive way...in the middle of her telling me about her day she says "WTH DREW there's a beat up skate ramp in my driveway..." i said ..."i know it's a piece of junk huh" she laughed it off...how can you get mad at that pile of trash ramp? you can't help but laugh..i commend my kid for being creative :)

There's letting your kid do crazy stuff and then there's letting him do stuff that's totally irresponsible as a parent. I like how you complain in other threads, you can't make any money, you say you can't afford medical bills, and you just laugh it all off. Wish you the best...

me bitching about money is in lue of some ruff times. you coming in and making something serious about a white trash makeshift skate ramp is just completely douche of you. take a chill pill and relax...its all in fun. i have a great relationship with my kid cuz i can laugh at stupid shit and not be a hard ass...(sounds like your type)
