- rbvmusic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12"In the conservation plan, the ramps are the agricultural buildings. I’ll put some plastic on the side and build a greenhouse underneath. That way it is proven it’s an ag building and I happen to skate on the roof"
I love this part. - Matt-lars, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Then go build them and get back to us on that.
- EquinnoxX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8This gives new meaning to 'Skate or Die'
- KonaGold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The sick thing is that Bob drops in switchfoot sometimes.
- nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7hint: you can even just type "300 ft in m", google knows the abbreviations.
- subscribtion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Wait... it's ironic that you're getting dugg down... irony is humorous. Therefore, everyone who diggs you down has a sense of humor.
- electricpeak, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8It didn't ask me to log in, and I don't have a ny times account.

He probably isn't kidding. When burnquist isn't skating he is running an organic farm so I bet he is dead serious about that part. - nars, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2there are many ramps, including one over the great wall of china!

It's free access for the first 24 hours or something I believe - my apologies - by the time this hit you had to login. - umdigger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How have the guys from Jackass never been there?
- Vertabreaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If there was a half pipe after the landing section, you'd skate right into a wall....hence the reason for a quarter pipe.
They're getting 50 feet off of the ground with the quarter pipe and that's risky enough as is with wind speed, weather, etc playing a factor in their landing. - minorthreat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1no seriously... my backyard is roughly 100 acres
- RandomSkratch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Haven't seen that one before. I'm trying to find his Helicopter Drop. That was badass.
- jocnnor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Headline -> Metric
Approximately 109 meters, the ramp is 22.86 meters high at its apex. That is where riders begin their run, speeding down a 54.9 meter roll-in to a ramp that launches them across a 21.3 meter gap with trapeze netting below. Landing on a 8.23 sloped section, they then boost up to 15.25 meter above the ground from a 9.144 meter quarterpipe.
I can't even stand on a skateboard without falling... - Sippi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I couldn't imagine catching a rock under one of the wheels on that thing.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dude !....I got big air !
- antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought the one in China was the largest ramp.
- sycorob24, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Scott, thanks for posting this!
They actually didn't have the ramp right the first time, he almost lost control, and then they fixed it and he _did it again_! Un-freaking-real. - scott28w, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bob also jumped and then slid a rail into the grand canyon:

- gandhii, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I just find it amazing that he can actually make doing that "look easy".
but I guess there is also something to be said for the power of editing. - bwedeking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am pretty sure this is where the ramp is located in Vista.

I've read somewhere that Pierre Luc Gagnon has riden the mega ramp also. - Obsession88, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1+2 diggs 'cause it's Bob
-1 digg for a ***** link - thewaz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1damnit, minorthreat i accidentally dugg you up.

- sembetu, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Lame, there should have been a half pipe after the drop instead of a quarter. Imagine the accumulated air after a few turns of that pipe.
- Systembomber, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Can someone give username:password for this story :)
- musntSurfatWork, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0you'd need a bigger back yard.
- Evari, on 10/12/2007, -15/+4can anyone tell me the size in metric?
- minorthreat, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2My backyard is big enough to hold about 100 of those
- musntSurfatWork, on 10/12/2007, -15/+1Ok Tony Hawk, I wanna see your 9000.
