I saw a small one on the 2:00 side this year. Maybe 3-4 feet tall. Looked like a pretty normal ramp made out of 2x4's and plywood.

Yeah I saw one near 2:00. Looked pretty fun but I had no skates : (
I'd be down if someone need some rails made. I have an arc welder and I could make some nice freestanding rails.

there is a camp over on 10:00 sound wall that always has a good one built.

tunnel,a rainbow rail connectiong 2 runways of plywood would be amazing!my friend's uncle recently acquired storage unit full of plywood from a skatepark that was recently closed so i was thinking about pre-constructing 2 quarters and patching them together upon arrival.this way i wouldn't have to spend half the week in bob the builder mode. i am definately planning on taking matters into my own hands this year... my friends who ride/skate generally think we're out of our minds for driving 3 days to live in the desert for a week,but on the other end we think they're out of theirs for not coming:)

Maybe the BRC Roller Disco can be talked into having a half pipe next
to their awesome skating rink with great music.

(or they could let us set up the skate park)
FWIW

I've seen pics of a miniramp on the playa. Not sure I'd want to try hitting a vert ramp at BM. I am 37 these days and haven't put a board under my feet in over a year though. LOL.

It's kind of surprising, now that I think of it, that there is no Sk8park Camp. I can imagine linking a bunch of plywood together for flat land and putting jump ramps, rails and other obstacles on it. Could be a ton of fun.

I've been wondering if a mountain board would work well on the playa.

I will have my BMX bike out there this year. And would be happy to lend a hand constructing a ramp.

my boyfriend dragged me off the art car so he can skate the ramp. they had a DJ spinning and were going to have a live punk show later in the evening. it was close to 2:00 and maybe F or G last year. That's him on the ramp = )

wow looks like those guys know what's up..looks like we might have to take over one of the outer k streets to build up to our full potential which is fine considering we were at 9 and k in 09.seems like the only way to have extra space,seeing as people who filled in around there would see our setup and understand there will be loud shit going down 24/7
