NICE! Where's your helmet. Too bad you live so far away, I'm wanting to get a screen door put on my garage in December. Christmas present to myself.

thats awesome!  wish i had something like that.  i used to have a quarter pipe 2 rails and 3 kickers but when the kid down the street brke his arm on the 1 ramp my parents said it was time to take them down.  we tried to skate other places but it wasnt the same so we slowly stopped until 2005 I bought a longboard and I still cruise around on that

I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem finding a screen repair company. ;)

Sweeeet!!  I bet your son is floating on air and bragging about his cool dad to everyone that will listen.

I know I'd look cool on that thing with my old steel wheel roller skates (circa 1975) and some knee high tube socks.

John, I am glad you weren't hurt. If it were me falling, I certainly would have bled and probably warped the ramp....ofr stuck my head through the ceiling. How about inviting over a neighbor you don't like and getting them to crash on it so you can take some cool pictures? You know, like a bone sticking out of their leg or something.

thanks guy's. maybe next year i'll make it a little wider. it is fun though. i'm afraid if i make the drop, i will launch off the other end. my son loves it but i won't let him drop in on it yet. he just starts in the middle and builds up speed. it stores away pretty good and takes about 15 minutes to set up.

p.s. Don't have the ceiling fan ON when skating the mini pipe! unless your 4 feet tall.
