Almost Skateboards has released a short movie starring Chris Haslam and Daewon Song entitled “Cheese and Crackers”. The movie revolves around a mini ramp session over multiple days - trying out the most ridiculous and inventive mini stuff i’ve ever seen. I remember 8 to 12 hours sessions at Montreal’s old indoor skatepark - on the 4 foot mini spine ramp. We’d try a certain trick until you made it or you took yourself out enough times to call it a day. Blunts (fakie / 180 out / kick-flip in) was the trick that probably killed me (and my hips) the most amount of times - and we were some of the first to do them in MTL - so we had no one to show us the “proper way”. I miss skating mini ramp.
If you’re really not gonna buy the movie … you can watch it here for a limited time ..

Holy sick tricks!!
How to have fun with a mini-ramp. :-)
Aaaahhh..I remember mini ramp sessions.. the fun… the pain!
Would be nice to have a nice 4′ mini. Might body (ankles+knees) might actually be able to handle that as opposed to street skating.
