Latest status report!

Took the table off at the 2nd side of the ramp.






Did this today!
Had to do it as it was way to small for a reasonable halfpipe!!!

Good news is that this beast will be 30 feet wide once it is finished!













now I'm going to remove these:



Stick to my status report fellas! It'll be contantly updated during the rebuilding process.

btw. no cats were harmed while cutting it down and all safety rules were obeyed.

Hey Steven.
Yep, 'cause my sk8buddies just show up when they want to have a good sk8 session...unfortunately the don't act the same when it comes to hard work.
I'm accustomed to doing it all by myself and I'm really fed up calling each of 'em and just getting lame excuses that they were not to able to give a helping hand right now, for whatever reason...but however they keep talking of the "Villa Katharina skate crew/community"...

Damn, if you weren't living out in hicksville ( ) I'd gladly be part of the project. There's no better motivation for work like that than some pleasant anticipation.

Definitely have to come down and skate that thing when it's finished! Keep us posted...

375.00 Euros as far as I can remember. But hauling both trailer down south tripled or quadrupled the winning bid. Not to mention that 12 hour nightmare while towing both to their new home. And the worst thing was that those trailers have a chassis clearence of less than 4 inch.
4 inch is not much even for a short trailer but these were more than 30 feet long from front axle to the rear axle...
