In the April 2009 issue of the magazine (on sale now) we have an article that Jeff Zielinski shot where a handful of Odyssey riders invaded the warehouse where the X Games ramps are stored. We filmed the two-day affair and put together this behind the scenes look at how it all came together. Gary Young, Taj Mihelich, Matt Beringer, and Kurt Rasmusson all moves some ramps around and get it done.

I’t would be nice of ESPN to donate those ramps for a community skate park somewhere. The video is nice too!

ESPN/Xgames does donate most of their ramps. Much of the Venice Ramps are XGames, Some secret back yard ramps are XGames. They give away a large percentage of the ramps every year. These are what they saved to use this again this year.

Agree on the Gary Young sentiment. That guy is sooo in tune with the riding surface.

interesting but to spend the day moving a bunch of stuff around and never really get a fun flow of stuff to ride? no thanks! i’d rather just go pedal around outside and have a few beers!
