In the first episode of the season, Nate Wessel and the Build Woodward crew recreated the most iconic ramp in the history of skateboarding, the Animal Chin Ramp. The legendary ramp was constructed in the back corner of what was once just an ordinary tennis court. To complete the transformation from tennis court to skatepark, Nate went to work on designing a concrete street park to surround the Chin Ramp and brought in the boys from California Skateparks to pour some concrete and complete the project. Foreman Santiago Lopez takes us through the creation of two specific features in the new park: a steep corner-quarterpipe and a cantilevered bump-to-bump with some cool concrete finishing touches. Once the concrete is dry and the park is complete, Jake Hayes, Ronnie Sandoval, Peter Hewitt, Vincent Alvarez, Tom Knox and Adrian Adrid from the Dickies Skate Team stop by to check it out and shred.
