Gary Mini Ramp

As many of you know, the Gary mini ramp has been disassembled and transported to its new home near Spirit Mountain's Grand Ave chalet. Some of you might be wondering why this move was necessary. Before the future GND skate plaza can be built, a lot of dirt work must be done in that area, meaning the ramp cannot stay there. When it's all said and done, it will be resurfaced with brand new skatelite giving it a much needed facelift. Stay tuned for more details.

Hell of a Paradise 2018 Video

Twenty-nine years ago, Gonz ollied the massive channel gap of the "Y-Ramp" and made history. They say history repeats itself, so Thrasher teamed up with Adidas and recreated the infamous ramp. Skateboarding legends Steve Caballero, Christian Hosoi, and Eric Dressen joined an all star list of pros to celebrate Gonz's 20th anniversary as an Adidas team rider. Hell of a Paradise seemed like heaven on earth if you ask me.
