The indoor mini ramps listed below would be a nice addition to the skate scene in Northern Minnesota. Our winter months are cold and dark and having an indoor mini ramp skate haven would be a great way to get some exercise and enjoy skating some transition during the endless winters.

Thrasher has a long history of being the best skateboard magazine. I started subscribing at an early age and was always eager to get the new issue every month. I wanted to post this video of Dan Drehobl and his crew skating his backyard ramp.

Minnesota handmade cruiser skateboard

I really like handmade skateboards:

made by DL boards

For more info. check out Obsolete

I really like the look of this cruiser style skateboard deck. I am getting too old and fat to ride on it, but my daughter would love a cruiser like this made in Minnesota:

Read the description of this board below:

Introducing the NEW, locally crafted, ‘Minnesota Missile’ skate deck from OBSOLETE Skateboards! The ‘Minnesota Missile’ was inspired by the first few skateboards ever made. NO ply’s, NO fiberglass, NO bullish*t. Straight up solid oak. These old school cruiser decks will have you skating for hours.

Locally made by WAAM Industries, each deck has a unique grain pattern and stain+lacquer finish. These decks are available in both the classic tear drop shape, or always popular, fishtail design. Hang it on the wall as a totally-rad art piece or shred it when you’re in the mood to cruise.

Be one of the first to buy at Soundset 2014, this Sunday! Decks come as a complete with Penny Trucks+Wheels and ABEC 5 bearings. Kick it old school with a deck that is truly OBSOLETE!

DIY SKATEBOARD SPOTS

I am a big fan of making and finding new DIY skateboard spots. My favorite spots to skate are the ones hidden and challenging to find, clean, session and skate. Here is one of the spots:

This is a picture of a small concrete ditch up in the northern half of Minnesota. As you can see from the picture it needs to TLC but even without cleaning up the weeds it is still fun to skate and chances are in this location you will have the spot all to yourself.

Brainerd Skateboarding: This town needs a skateboard park

Brainerd is a small town in Minnesota. Having an indoor public skateboard park would provide a great place for the residents of this town to practice their favorite sport during the long cold winters.

Here are some pictures of skateboard parks from other towns in Minnesota.
