Matt’s Ramp Session

Last spring, Vulcan Bolts took team rider Kae’o Kass to Edmonton to skate at the Local 124 Parking Lot Jam.

You can see that video here.

Adam Hopkins also came along for the trip. Since he joined Bacon Skateboards in 2024, he has been on a tear; Building his own company Ramptime Productions, coaching olympic skateboarding, building a vert facility.

The man is busy.

This weekend trip Adam called up Matt to see if we could stop in and skate his mini ramp in the woods. We drove out Friday night to skate this beauty.

The crew at the ramp was amazing. Great people there to skate this ramp. The session was already blazing when we arrived. After some quick hellos and how ya doin’s, the session heated up.

Thanks to Matt and everyone there for a great skate. The stoke was high. The skating was even higher.

Huge thanks to Ty Williamson for coming along and capturing everything with his camera. You are the best.

The image above is from an ad we ran in 2019 in SBC Skateboard Mag. Since then a lot has changed. Some of those local shops have closed. First and First, HTO, Speedies, and Funhouse have all closed.

Don’t be sad though. Many more have opened since then. Biss skateshop, Bonez Crew, HMI Industries, Pocket Skate and Vintage, Recovery Skateshop, Riff Raff Skateshop, The Shop, Industry, and Vinland skateshop.
