When I was six my dad purchased a beginner skateboard ramp at Target for my birthday. He said it cost $19.95 and was the best present he ever bought me. It’s funny how 6 years later I still have it and enjoy doing tricks with it on our driveway. My brother and I spray painted it last year and it now looks like it is on it’s last leg, but this ramp goes way back with me and I may never be able to let it go.

Last Christmas, I got more skateboard ramps and a grind rail. I believe that this time the cost was $89.00 and he (Santa Claus) purchased it at Sam’s Club. The new ramps have helped a lot since I can set them up in different configurations. My street tricks have never been that good because most of the time my dad takes us to the concrete skate parks around town and I just like skating vert, but these low cost ramps have gone a long way in helping me develop some street skills when he is traveling or playing tennis.
