I guess I'm a lucky one here. the closest vert ramp from me is about an hour away....and now that I got a car I can make that trip more often. But I've put off going there for awhile because I wanted to get my new frames on my skates before I made too many trips there, cause I want to start skating vert more but I can't do it too well with my GC's.
i'm looking at a 2 hour drive, but this everyday thing is a bit excessive.
there's this park near me with a 10ft launch ramp that runs into a flybox. on the other side of the flybox is a vert wall. as long as i dont air off the flybox, i can kinda get some inches off the vert wall, but it just isnt the same.

There is a small vert 9'ft within 20 minutes and the next decent sized ones are 3 hours.

It's lame how all the ramps are going down.
Does anyone here know of any good ramps in cali besides Orange and Encinitas and of course Woodward.

The 2003 X-Games ramp is at the YMCA in Encinitas CA so you could skate it if you wanted to.
The 2004 Ramp was a huge ramp but it don't have much more vert than Woodward West. I'd say it had not more than 2.5 on the ramp and the extentions were probably3.5 or 4.
damn, why are all the nice ramps in America?
