I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Rob Kammel from Kammel-Morgan Design Group (KMDG.com) for his contributions to the cause! Also, Rob is working on a new site called artnotbombs.com Check it out! Without Rob's donations this ramp wouldn't even be close to where it's at right now!
Props also go to Tim Kulas of course for starting the whole project by hooking me up with some skatelite and inspiring / forcing me to make it 16 feet wide....as well as crafting the most goreous transitions I've ever witnessed!
NEW props go to my sister Angela Shuman for her help with the steel coping! Thanks Ang!! Also can't forget my wife Chris for all her support and allowing me to take up a LARGE portion of the back yard!
MORE props to TIM Kulas for setting the coping and coming up with the skatelite scheme. (It's a complex process) it all happens in his head......
PROPS to John Sprague for lending his mathematical approach to measuring for the decks, and his precision eye when it comes to handling a circular saw! Props to Rob K. for the 12 pack of heineken and for his sweeping frontside grinds!
Cant Forget Brandon and his buddies from around the block. Thanks for helping with lifting and cutting skatelite. NEW props go to Angel for always putting her own safety on the line as she gets the perfect photo angles......Courtney's been out there taking lots of pics too!
