A bunch of the local kids found an abandoned storage building for an old store that went out of business years ago, it was left practically empty and left cleanup pretty easy. The kids build a miniramp in there and made it a local getaway for all the skaters, and over the years developed more and more into it. These kids all named it "The Locker," due to its history as a storage area.

It started with the miniramp, of course. Simple blunt stall by Luft over here to show it off.

After that, someone set up this wicked Trash can rig. A good few ways to hit it, and inexpensive to say the least. Here you can see Luft popping a shuv right off the rail, down to the ramp. you can also see a manny pad with a small ledge in the background, hand built with scraps.

Some guys set up a couple of old decks to pop over for games of S.K.A.T.E. They set up some wooden supports so you wouldn't have to pick decks up after you hit them. Hardflip by Luft.

A huge addition came in when we managed to get a brilliant deal on a car that hasn't been functional for over a decade (Read: Free). We dragged it over here and scrambled up some makeshift ramps on all the leftover wood we had, and busted out the roof supports over it, so we don't slam our heads. What result is endless hours of fun. Luft on the 5-0.

Within a year, with all of the old lumber we scavenged from everyone and every place we knew, we managed to build this colossal addition, with several possibilities of how to hit it.

We added a corner wallride setup to polish things up a bit, bolting some curved metal to the walls. Gotta be careful though, those bolts can wreck you.

We managed to keep the lights and AC running through a generator we have hooked up to the building. This thing is small, but it's pretty damn powerful. The cord to the generator goes through a little hole we drilled in the wall, outside to where we stored a good number of propane tanks that may or may not have been legally obtained. Anything to keep the building running.
