Name Park: Boostyard v3
Operator: Ryan Nyquist
Location: Wilmington, NC USA
What made you decide to build your own park in the backyard?
Ryan Nyquist: Once The Unit was shut down and dismantled, I knew I needed something to keep me fresh on my bike and sane. The local parks are super fun but lacked certain ramps and obstacles that I really enjoyed. So I decided to treat myself and make something I knew I would enjoy.
How does it compare to The Unit?
Ryan Nyquist: It's way smaller and simpler, but has everything I need to keep a smile on my face. Basically just big ramps that I can ride at speed and do fun tricks on.
Did you use wood from The Unit or did you have to buy everything new?
Ryan Nyquist: I bought everything new. The wood from The Unit was untreated and wouldn’t last long
