Vert ReHab Project, Merritt Island!
Donation protected
We are doing an extensive rehab of the crumbling Merritt Island Vert ramp. The locals have raised over $3,000, but to do it right we will need $12,500 or more. All funds raised will be used for Vert only. Please help us keep this (almost) 16 year old ramp alive. Every dollar COUNTS. I know I've kicked in on many GoFundMe Vert related campaigns and a small donation is still much appreciated and they add up fast. The labor started today and no one is paid. We hope to be skating in 15 days -Sunday the 22nd. But it could be a week later...
As is, It's a bumpy, lumpy, slow & soggy mess with duct taped holes, cracked sheets and kinks galore. Unfortunately it is the only publicly available Vert ramp in Florida at the moment except Kona. I personally do a 5 hour round trip and others travel in from big drive distances. The locals are dedicated, have thrown $1,000's in to repairs over the years, but are all working class guys who can't start from scratch and build a $40K+ ramp.
We want this ramp to be a warm & friendly winter destination for Vert skaters from around the world.
Thank you in advance for your support!
We are making plans for an event in winter '15/'16 that'll be a blend of RumlePartyAtTheMikaAPondLoozaSuperDuperSession, if you know what I mean... Hope you can make it!
