The legendary ramp was re-incarnated by Lou via some great painting work on the vert at Eisenbergs. Tony Goza from SoundCreationsonline.com provided some killer tunes from 80's Punk Rock Clown days for an authentic soundtrack to the action. Lot's of full on Texas Style raging by Clown locals back in the day and new rippers with some young guns coming to further the Texas vert tradition. Skaters like Mike Crum, Dana Buck, Gary Morris, Jeremy Smith, Lou Statman, Adam Wiggins, Ben Johnson, Pat Sherman, John Lytle, Bryan Saremslani and more kept the action and urethane flowing. Legends Craig Johnson, John Gibson, Todd Prince and more came out to hang out and sign some cool relics(Shots courtesy of txpunk.net).
