: : Hi all,

: : I just moved to San Diego last week and love it here. My local park is Encinitas. They have an x games ramp and it is huge. I was told this thing is 13.5 feet high with two feet of vert. I skated monday and yesterday. On monday, I was too afraid to drop in. I dropped in yesterday and it was damn scary. I am so stoked though because it is the same type of ramp I skated 16 years ago. The transitions are huge and slow and I will soon be doing flips. Wish me luck.

Joe, I'm just over 5 feet tall so every ramp seems huge to me lol.

Those are Joe and Rollerball! I didn't have the pleasure of making the acquaintance of the ramp, though ...

 Joe, your run was awesome. I recently saw a video of Rollerball. My buddy Bill from OZ posted it on my skateboard forum. Rollerball was doing a really cool stahl, which I have started doing on the mini ramp. I skated the huge halfpipe a lot today and the dropping in became very comfortable. I am doing mini handplants, but nothing worth writing home about.
