amazing to see this! think its 87 not 86 though? that old blue ramp holds a lot of fond memories for me as it eventually became part of the vert spine ramp at mons (mon designed this initial 12 foot transportable version) its funny watching how big the airs on this are as its only 8 and foot trannies with 6 inches of vert, i wish vert ramps were still this size lol.

Gonz taught my brother and Ihow to boadslide behind the ramp on some gym benches.. Fucking hell..
