Best things to skate, in my opinion. It sucks that the closest skateable one is about 30 minutes away from my house, but that makes you appreciate a good session much more. Post pics of mini ramps and good footage.

No footy but the one in the back of the pic is the one I skate at least once a week.

I have a micro one at my house under my carport, I skate it daily.
We have 2 or 3 good ones within a few miles.
Personally I'd rather skate a mini than get kicked out of spots all day.

they would be more fun to me if i could do more than a rock to fake on them

mini's are fun but I actually prefer skating quarters. more cruising time and you can mix in some flat land or someshit

but when I do skate mini, it's usually this one at EZ7 that Guy's skating

or the new southside mini that Tim Oconner had some recent footage on that I couldn't find

Mini ramps are what I prefer to skate.
I drove an hour and 20mins yesterday to skate one.

Heres some footage of my friends ramp thats in his garage. (nothing extravagant in the videos, just tiredness)

we usually skate this mini ramp with a few of the older guys (us being around 19 years old and the older ones about 28), which makes an interesting mix of tricks. pivot fakies next to lay back 5-0s and such.

yeah dude! · « **Reply #12 on:** August 06, 2007, 09:47:26 AM »

This one is about 2 or 3 miles from my house. Mini ramps are the funniest thing to skate for sure.

i like them because they are like the rails of tranny. if it wasn't for them, i'd probably never rack. plus grinds and slides feel better on spines for some reason

damian · « **Reply #20 on:** August 06, 2007, 11:56:42 AM »

mini ramps are great, esp. ones with character. too bad you can't go fast down the street, leaping over shit, go from spot to spot and pop tricks down the gaps on them though.

hakken · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2007, 12:20:50 PM »

im bout to go to my local park and try and get some mini ramp lines in

skatemore,man · « **Reply #24 on:** August 06, 2007, 01:23:21 PM »

ah, i skated the nicest ramp i've ridden a few days ago, the thing was so much fun. 4 feet high, maybe 18 across, 30 long, with 5 feet of 6 ft extensions. Stairs off the side, manual pad off the side.. so sick.

It's def. worth the half hour drive.

what the · « **Reply #25 on:** August 06, 2007, 01:32:35 PM »

mini ramps are so fun,couple beers all the homies and some good trannys ,nothing can beat that,what's funny though is some of the top pros today cant even do a single trick,thats fucked up,some of the baker dudes cant even drop in,you know who you are,i think everyone should be able to do that ,come on,but whatever

When I was donw in Florida, I skated a 4ft mini with a spine and learned a couple things on the spine alone.

i've been wanting to try tricks off the spin at ez7 for a while but haven't tried it yet. i've messed around with the same idea on some of the quarters up there and it's fun but the spines i bit gnarlier. seems like it would be a tight way to skate a spine though, finish a line with a backlip to flat or frontboard to flat or someshit

Don´t have spectacular pics, I just enjoy having a chill session with friends.

I sprayed my favourite skaters name on the ramp!!
