Camp Ramp.

There is nothing better than a late afternoon miniramp shralp on a summers eve. It should be declared a national passtime. I headed down to Volcom's Camp Ramp with Teddy and the homie Elvis Segarich because we heard that Buit To Shred had somehow constructed a skateable miniramp all up in a tree. And you know we had to see this with our own eyes...
The rumors are true! The O.G. Camp Ramp ramp in the foreground and the tree mini up in the tree.
As sketchy as it may look from the ground, it was built pretty solid well integrated into the tree.
I guess they thought it would be funny to throw in a transparent plexiglass bottom.
Everything about this thing was sketchy. This is the only way up.
Once you get up to the ramp the first thing you notice is how tranquil and quiet it is up there. So tranquil and quite, in fact, that the homie Zach Egge took the opportunity to answer some emails on his phone.
The plexiglass bottom from the top down.
Tree branch coping - modern engineering marvel.
As if skating a miniramp in a tree wasn't hard enough, the Built To Shred guys added a run extension with an 8' gap and 15' drop straight to the ground. 
Said 8' gap and 15' drop. 
Then after the drop gap and quarterpipe twirly bird you get hit with this 10' drop to bank...
...and end it off by trying your luck on this Jersey Barrier. Looks like Chima got some on 5/8/10.
