Check out this video-relic. It shows the beginnings of Team Pain Skateparks, and how we have consistently pushed the design and construction envelope of skateparks for over a quarter century.

What happened to the ramp?
The ramp was kept secret during the entire construction and filming. It was immediately taken down (Not by me but a bunch of yahoos) and stored at an outdoor RV storage yard. The guy that unloaded the ramps stacked them on top of each other, and over time all the ramps collapsed. A few years later, the ramps were given to Mike McGill to build his skatepark in Carlsbad CA. The ramps showed up in a complete mess, and we tried make something out of all the pieces. We built a vert ramp, mini ramp and street course out of it. The Best thing that went down was when Danny Way was almost pulling 900s on it. I believe it’s in the old H-street video.
Why PVC?
They, we wanted to use metal coping but there was such a rush to build it we had to use PVC. The grey stuff doesn’t crack and is not as slippery as the white stuff.
