Indoor Skateboard Park Mini Ramp Photos Post 2

I was watching the latest installment of Jeff Grosso's Loveletters to Skateboarding and he made some really good points concerning the DIY Ramp Building Scene.



 When I first started skateboarding in rural area of northern Minnesota over thirty years ago, the only way to skate transitions was to create my own place to skate.  My grandfather helped me build a eight foot wide, by four foot tall mini ramp, and along with a neighbor's ramp down the road, this was our skate scene.

DIY Skateboard Park Found in Carlton, Minnesota

Stop taking down skateboard parks and DIY projects.  People need places to skateboard.

Here is the article, and please post your comments:
CO Scott Staples (Carlton) issued two restoration orders on wetland violations in the area. A complaint of someone poisoning wild animals is being investigated in the area. Fishing opener was busy with a lot of activity to report in the area. Enforcement action was taken for unattended lines, angle without a license, insufficient life jackets and registration violations.  Turkey hunting activity was checked in the area but little activity was found. ATV activity was busy over the past weekend with enforcement action being taken for no safety certificate, operating on the road and registration violations. While checking an area of state forest land where there is frequent littering a group of individuals were contacted and found to be making a skate board park on a paved section of an old road. Concrete ramps and rails were all found on the property. The individuals were identified and the local DNR forestry and trails offices were notified so discussions on how it’s going to be cleaned up could take place.
