Mad props to Hugh, Will, Tall Bob and the rest of the West Palm Crew (WPC represent) for coming up here Saturday with almost $300 worth of 2x6's! Without their help we'd be bringing Lutzka to a ditch ramp with no ditch. Thanks donkeys for hooking that up, rental trailor and all! I apologize for all the yelling and shit but I was stressed out. You guys can all skate for half-price whenever you want. Also thanks to Mike Kruz for being the foreman that day. Somehow between Mike's commentaries (calling me "Tubesock Timmy") and my yelling we got most of the decks up in one hot ass afternoon. Everyone lost a few pounds and gained a beter sense of what it takes to build in the Florida backcountry. There ended up being 17 people out there helping that day. A few too many, but without that show we never would have accomplished as much as we did. Dave Knox, Jeremy, Aaron, Jim Johnson, and Lenny also helped set the decks and didn't bail when work was no longer fun. Well the things almost done now, so what's the next step?

How to dig ramp footers by Team Pain's Mike Kruse...

I got a reality check yesterday when Mike Kruse came by the Mango Pit to help me with some footers. After over a month of tweaking and playing around with ramp parts I've decided to just go back to getting a mini ramp done for now. The drive out to the ramp has been wearing on me and I just need to get something done. It will still be a bowl eventually, just nowwhere near as epic as if it was on my own property. So I'll save the whole wooden Englewood thing for later and maybe go for something more like a mini Charleston Hanger...

Thanks to Mike Kruse for taking time out of his busy schedule to help me out there in the blazing heat. Also thanks to all these dudes for helping me line up the wood, trailors, materials, motivation etc.: Rob Perkins, Rob Beasley, Tifton, Gar, Robin New, Jim Johnson, Mike Lewis, Mark Buncy, Eric Oakley, Tall Bob, Dave Ellis, Dave Knox, Tito the list goes on and on. Only in Skateboarding would people that you've never even met before come together to help out with something like this. No time schedule, no set design, no permits, no insurance, and hardly any money at all. I guess the mini will be fun for awhile until we can bowl it in and then work on the deep end. More skating, less work. Now it's just a race between us and the rain rotting all the wood!

compromise?

Playing with the flat bottom...

How much flat should it have? 8, 10, or 12 feet? Vote now or you can't complain about it later...

Sewerside...

Click on the BabySkulls link to see what these dudes are trying to do. They call it Sewerside. The beer can coping mold on their site reminds me that skateboarders think alike everwhere no matter how much rising waterlevels may separate them. The Picture shown here is just a conceptual done in photoshop in an effort to hype up the project and hook up some cash for materials. Good Luck dudes...

More stability...

Thanks Mike, nice car

I couldn't do anything without Beasly and Tifton (and Perks and Buncy and Kruse and Mike and Eric)

Check out all this wood we scored last week. Over 50 2x12's reused from an old wrap around deck. Thanks to the Bentley family. They were stoked to see their old wood go to a good cause.

we gotta git this dude to play here...

Went out there today and ribbed up another wall. All we need is about 18 more 8 ft. 2x6's and about 40 sheets of 1/2 inch ply and a 24 ft. wide mini could be done. Then we skate for a bit, and then BOWL!!!!

As the Mango turns...

Last friday, Todd W. and I went over to Gator Trace to scope out some wood. A friend of ours is building some new condos over there and told us to come get whatever was laying around. We ended up with a truck bed overflowing with a few 2 x 6's and a shitload of 5/8's plywood. Big thanks to Dan Georgiton for the hook up and Todd for the truck. I might be scoring another load of wood today...I'll let you guys know...

Kulas won't be back until next Sunday, so construction is pretty much halted until his return.

In other Mango news, a neighboor who happens to own a back hoe/front-end loader has volunteered to clear out the property for us. The spot for the ramp is pretty clear, but the surrounding area is in need of some help/leveling. This guy is my hero!

The main portion of what we will be needing now is 1/2 inch ply for the two bottom layers, although any type of wood donation will be put to good use.

Thanks for the continued help and support, we appreciate it!!!

Google Analytics is cool because you can see that people are checking out your blog from weird sounding countries/cities like Fukuroi, Akakai, Pande, Ipoh, Olulu, Winnindoo, Kungalu, Eching, Iwata, Lidkoping, Hsinchu, Quito, Kharkiv, Chiba, Hotgeismar, Alkmaar, Bechy, Praha, Wabana, Sackville, Gedong, Opwigk, Reykjvik, Hrvatski Leskovac, etc. You get the point, skateboarding is worldwide. I just started this blog alittle more than a year ago.

here she comes again...

So a few weeks ago we moved the old bowl wood from Orlando to Ft. Pierce. I've been calling the new spot the Mango Farm. It's about a two acre lot by some train tracks, an airport, some trailers, and some weeds. A perfect home for my baby to come to life again. Soon we will have a fundraiser out there with some bands and some kegs and whoever wants to camp is welcome to. Yesterday I went out there to work and decided to make the new shallow end a bit lower and a bit tighter than before. The new shallow end will be 5 feet tall with a 7 1/2 foot tranny. I wanted to do something different, and after getting input from about 20 different expeirience ramp builders, I made the call...7'6" cut @ 5'. There's no turning back now...
