Mini Ramp Mashing With Flatspot And Friends

It’s a dark and dreary Saturday here in Vancouver and the shop couldn’t be quieter. That’s not a complaint, I’m actually stoked to have a bit of time to rip through some photos from a previous wet weekend and post up a few favorites.

While we love the Wok and take shelter in the Flatspot bowl, it’s kinda pinner and can get repetitive to skate the same thing all winter long. Fortunately, there are a few private spaces in the city to shred and the bois got the invite to come session with Selwyn Sharples at a mini ramp we’ll leave nameless. Mini ramps are always a good time, but this one has a ton of space and always good people, so we were set for a good night of skating for sure.

Selwyn Sharples welcoming us all with an outstretched finger. Dalton Terjesen lurking.

Sho Ouellette always has buttery grinds.

Harlen Terjesen gets two shakas. Surfs up!

This particular mini ramp has some not so mini extensions and additions to get creative with.

Josh Hardwick had a solid bag of tricks landed this night, kicking off with this smith maneuver on the extension.

One more from another angle.

Harlen is a deep rocker.

Sho tweaks his front crails.

Harlen likes to get lifted whether its ollies, early grabs or boosters (boneless).

Did I mention Josh was killing?

More signature Sho style.

Harlen’s “mini me”, Dalton, shreds to the tune of his own drum and has some sick tricks. I’m always impressed with the old skool steeze this young ripper has too.

Harlen and his boosted boosters.

On this day, the booster got the better of his board and Harlen snapped his super fresh (basically new) Agent Orange board. He’s smiling on the outside only.

As if the mini ramp wasn’t sick enough as it was, there was this dope DIY steel bar that acted like a railing, but could then be unbolted and dropped down to the top of the ramp above the coping on one side. If it were bowling, it would have been one of those dummy bumpers, but there was nothing easier about this feature.

Dalton probably had the most tricks landed on the add-on rail.

Harlen stepped up to the bar and landed a few.

Selwyn giving us his goods.

Josh with another sick smiith. Landing this one almost KO’ed him.

There are no winners and losers here, but I’m giving Josh the hat tip for landing the most bangers this night.

That’s it, that’s all. One night of mini ramp fun. Thanks to Selwyn Sharples for hosting us!!
