Session after a session... some clips from a little baby micro mini ramp at a friend's house:

They're insanely fun, but damn, you have to pump for days. I'm about to have a 3 1/2 footer, but given the choice (and funds) I'd much rather own a 5 or 6 footer. We already have vert at the concrete park, and our private spot has a 5 foot capsule that waterfalls into an 8 foot bowl, so a 5 or 6 would be perfect for home...

Same here... there's a certain level of comfort in landing into a big bunch of transition. Micros are fun because you can get away with all kinds of lip-trickery, but for a real session, I like to be hauling ass and really enjoy some ramp curvature.

ps
Digging the angled surface... that's proper as fuck!

micros are fun until you realize none of the tricks you learned work on any other ramp

I've been going there in the mornings. It IS the funnest place to skate. The other day, I gave myself speed wobbles going so fast. You gotta love a place that can allow you to do that.

Yeah it is. But it might be a bust for a while because word has it the fire marshal shut down that half of the park.
