"UK winters are generally horrendous for riding, even when it’s dry you’ve got too many thermals on to move. Myself and a couple mates decided to boycott as much of winter as we could and planned a 6 week riding trip to Stuttgart and then to Barcelona.

While laying low at home watching videos to pass the quarantine time, Dan Conway has been getting inspired to try some tech combos on his new driveway spine ramp. Despite Dan’s reputation as a gnarly rail boss, the dude can and will ride anything you put in front of him and it’s been awesome to see him hone in his transition skills over the last few years.
Watch the new trailer for our full length video "Take A Ticket". For a year or so now we've been filming for a few video projects, "Take a Ticket" was one of those projects and we're stoked to have the full video dropping next week!

Crazy time we live in, but it could be worse having no ramps to ride. What kind of set-up do you have at home?
Ellie Chew: Yeah Crazy times for sure, I feel so lucky to have my ramps at home more than ever during this time! I have a fun little set up, it includes a 6ft quarter with a bowl hip extension, then a 4ft resi box jump and a 3ft spine/spox
For how long have you had the ramps?
Ellie Chew: I’ve had the ramps for about 3 years now
