    ramp city was the best skatepark we've ever had tbh.

    The story as I've heard...
    The guy who owned the building tried to kick frank out and do it himself. Because he did it to frank and the community respecting frank more than some dick trying to make a quick buck, the park was boycotted. No money was made and it closed down.

    That chap doesnt own that area anymore. Kylemore Karting do, and they are great people to work with (i know first hand).

    do you think it might be opened again by new people and maybe some of the old guys that ran it ,,, there would be a lot of people prepared to skate there and I myself wouldnt mind giving a hand building ramps to get it started.. .ive built a few.

    cant say anything more on the matter, i've said enough as it is! But i know the guy who owns that premises and go karts wouldnt have any use in that place. Then again, he works with karts, not skateparks...

    i do know of something very exciting that should happen soon enough, and i DEFO cant talk about it!

    as far as ramp building goes, the lads wouldnt let anyone help, not even their mates!
