The state of the LaWa ramp
This year, the Hot LaWa vert contest couldn't take place as scheduled on August 4/5. The ramp is still being repaired and I am happy that there are a few seldom seen people devoting their free time. The pictured shows Eric, wielding a German He-Man tool (the famed Hilti) do drill holes in the concrete so that there will be less moisture under the ramp in the future and therefore the wood won't rot so fast.

 Looks like a channel should be cut into the cement to divert water out to the side. So, any idea when the contest might happen?

 Thanks for the tip with the channel! It's possibly already too late since there are some new planks in place already. But I might discuss it with all those industrious workers.

I have no idea if the contest will take place. I'm pretty annoyed having oranized everything months in advance and now they start working on the ramp one weekk before the contest. They say, I shoud be happy that the ramp is being repaired and I say that we should have started earlier to have the ramp ready in time for the contest.

 Good point Biff water may get pushed up through the holes.

cheers joe
