JULY NEWS

MAN! July was HOT! I fried everyday mowing lawns. It was just a little warm inside the park too. I’m enjoying this August/May-like weather we’re having right now.

If you want to be the cool kid at school come get all of your gear from the coolest place in town – RAMP RIDERS! THE PROSHOP IS STOCKED WITH T-SHIRTS AND OTHER SWEET STUFF!

The guys over at House of Ink tattoo shop made some KICKASS one of kind custom decks.  I don’t know about you guys, but I’d be hanging those up on a wall. If I had money to blow, I’d have decks hanging all over my walls like paintings. If you’re ready for some ink or a piercing, go see Chris, Greg, and Jason. They’re great artists and cool guys. House of Ink is on Delmar above Blueberry Hill and Vintage Vinyl. Give them a call 314-721-2460.

Once again the Vans Warped Tour rolled into town. We rounded up a bunch of local skateboarders for Vans’ annual miniramp contest. Everyone was tearing the mini up! RR Team member Wil Towery came in sixth. I can’t remember the rest of the placings. I was checking out As I Lay Dying when the finals were going on. They were AWESOME! Checking out the ladies in bikinis; while handing out RR free session passes, is always a plus too.

I had tons of fun at the July All Nighter! I didn’t even ride. It was cool just hanging out with everyone. Red Bull dropped by with the party in a can and stocked everyone up. We had a game of S.K.A.T.E. and chilled the night away.

Scott and I finished the new vertwall last night, and boy is it SMOOTH! Now that the vertwall is done….it’s time…time to rearrange the park! Saturday 8/16 at Noon and Sunday 8/17 at 1:00 PM we will be cleaning the park up and moving ramps around. We should have a new rideable layout for most of the park by Monday. I can’t wait! The park will still be open the entire weekend. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

We’re going to have a RR BMX contest at the park on October 18. Pros will be battling it out for some moolah, and amateurs for some sweet product from our sponsors. I’ll post a flyer next week with more details.
