One Man Dusk Mini-Ramp Session In Finland
November 24th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Found this video of a one-man mini ramp session featuring “johnny aka 270 Maffia” out of Finland ripping a mini-ramp during the oncoming darkness – I like the feeling that the video conveys, being alone at a ramp, trying out some tricks, just happy the ramp isn’t wet from the general cold and damp autumn weather. Here’s his description of the action that went on:
“Few weeks ago I had slow day at work so I left early to skate the nearby miniramp before it got too dark. Temperature was about 0°C and there was thick fog hanging around. Weirdly the miniramp was dry enough to skate.
I had my Panasonic Lumix LX3 with me so I tried the HDvideo function while I skated. I didn’t have a tripod with me so I placed camera where ever it could stay still.
This version is a color graded (with magic bullet looks) and animated (frame movement). Mostly an experiment with MBL and moving frame compared to static.”

I’ve always wanted to have my own ramp but I haven’t had a place to build one yet – some day though I’ll make that dream come true and Billy Rohan plus a few friends take us through the steps of building one in this well produced 3 part video. Some of you will probably be thinking that it’s all logical – sure – but it is definitely perfect to make sure you avoid some basic mistakes which will result in a bad construction. I’ll be posting the following 2 parts of the series as soon as they hit the web!
Crossfire Halloween Massacre 2009 Skate And Party Video Clips
November 8th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
The guys over at Caught In The Crossfire have been mixing up the skate and music scene for quite a bit and unlucky for me, I have not once made it over to one of the mad party events which they hold on a regular basis. Excuses galore (family, work, money – you name it, I have the excuse) but for those of you who are stuck in the same predicament as I am – not making it – well, lucky us, we can at least watch others having fun and shredding the mini ramp to bits a few days later!

Damn!
