because they are not building indoor wood and concrete parks in buttfuck nebraska and if they are there is usually a paywall or not accessible to the public whatsoever.

poor skaters living in trailer parks usually dont have the same opportunities as kids with parents working in local government or divorced dads who own used car lots

Isn't mega ramp skating a big part of the X-Games? I'm kinda surprised it's not in the olympics. Seems like one area of skating that normies would understand and be interested.

Imagine 3rd world countries building janky ass mega ramps with the drop ins just swaying in the wind.

This is where the “from the east coast” equivalent of mega ramp skating forms. They’re alittle meaner and might drink all your beer but damn are they sick!

Caz lives in Oregon, that sketchy mega ramp was at his property between Portland and mt hood, he had a sick ramp in the barn.  I had friends that skated it but I never got the proper invite.

I forgot the point, that’s the difference between California and Or. perfect mega ramps in the south and dudes in Oregon jumping off barns over bull dozers into a landing ramps on top of trucks.  Caz is a savage!

Buying a 50-acre property so that you can build a $500,000 ramp so that you can win a $50,000 prize has a way of weeding out the less wealthy skaters. Not sure what it is.

Pretty sure you can only build them in places with pretty mild weather. Places that get very windy make them dangerous as hell to skate and the wood frame of them probably won't hold up well to a north-east or mid-west winter, requiring a ton of expenses every year to maintain or rebuild.
