That is one of the best mini ramp sections ever. I remember being dumbfounded when I first saw all the stuff Danny Way was doing.

Mini ramp is one of the funnest things to skate and helps your skating overall.

And here's a pic of the last mini ramp I skated.

First time I skated a mini in at least 2 months, and I learned backside disasters, feebles, switch rock n rolls, and fs grinds fs reverts.

nowadays, mini ramps are almost the only thing i skate. the most fun, the most relaxed, and the least ankle-twisting...

my local mini (52' wide in total, with 5'7" and 4'7" high sections with a 6'11" radius, and 3'7" and 2'9" high sections with a 6'3" radius):

actually, it's not really crowded most of the time, making it that much more awesome.

That one looks so fun.I'd love to skate a really wide one like that were you could just do frontsidegrinds forever.

monster network · « **Reply #53 on:** August 08, 2007, 05:16:02 AM »

i love skating mini, sadly there isn't a decent one to close to where i live.

3 feet is the magic number

if your ever in Houston, Southsides new one is sick. It's got an 8 foot wide extension that's probably 5' high and the rest is 4' and I'd say at least 20' wide. you can start high and lock in the longest grinds. I can't even take a five 0 all the way, it's just too long. And the coping is really fat and super fast. I'll try and find a clip of it.

This is the mini in JoshewUhs second photo (with both of us and a bunch more cats):

Edited to add: diabolik is usually at these sessions when we all get together...

This has a lot of mini footage from a park that's just across the bridge from New Orleans (sick fucking ramp):

Me at my friend's micro mini here in Hammond, looking like shit because of the pumping required to move:
[youtube=425,350]q-PnJgaJVxs[/youtube]

Some of us use two parts of our concrete bowl as a mini when we're not carving around... we have an indoor bowl that pretty much has a 5 and 8 foot mini in it.

grimcity · « **Reply #58 on:** August 08, 2007, 12:02:09 PM »

Oh yeah, and though I despise ARC ramps like nobody else in the world, I have to give the spine at EZ-7 (as well as the six footer behind it) that Sleazy posted some props. That fucker is fun.

Another ARC setup (that I feel guilty for liking) is this:

The mini alone is pretty lame, but the hips on both sides are a blast. The transitions are mellow, so you can fucking jump up as high as you want frontside or backside when transferring, and you don't really have to worry about hanging up or having to be leaning too much upon entry into the transition. One other thing is that the surface is grippy, so you can land kind of fucked up and not have to worry about slipping out (though reverts are pretty hard to do, which kind of sucks for me because I like reverting every which way I can).

Wil Taylor once told me the mini there was for kids. I was clearly the only man around skating it at the time besides him.
