skate ramps short-cut
Sam is seriously into skating, and she funds her
skate habit by building street courses—a jungle of
ramps and rails where skaters can kickflip and 5-0
themselves silly.
But building the ramps takes up time (and money)
that Sam would rather spend on actually skating.
But last week, while babysitting her nephew, Sam
had the best idea she’s ever had: use quick
assembly standard sized pieces to build the
skate ramps.
…and skateboards, and
shoes and hoodies....
Giant construction-kit skate ramps
The inspiration for Sam’s genius
plan was a kids’ construction kit.
With giant construction kit
parts, instead of making all our
ramps from scratch, we could
use standard size pieces that
assemble together quickly. It’ll
be faster and cheaper!
