Jump Ramp Days

We used to love to go to this park in Almaden, which was just down the street from my parents’ restaurant. Dennis used to pull out his jump ramp and we’d all proceed to jump to flat for hours and hours everyday. This photo is from the mid to late 80’s, probably taken by Tom Miller.

Salman!! Just thought I would drop a line to say hey dude. You are the man Sal, were always the guy in Almaden to look up to and am glad to see you are still kicking ass. Love the pic of the old Guerrero Powell deck, I had a couple of those. I hope all is well with you dude - will send you some old pics of us at Joe Uhtof’s ramp if I can find them. Take care.
