Hey Irden, ever considered turning one of your prototype ramps into a pop‑up skate park that actually pays the bills? I’ve got a few growth ideas that keep the raw vibe but add a revenue stream. Thoughts?
Irden Irden
Sure thing, but keep it real. I’d love the cash flow if we don’t have to hand over every inch to the city and they strip the grit out. Maybe a quick demo park on a derelict lot, a few hours a week, no red tape, just a place for the kids to carve out their own raw vibes. What’s the plan?

Great, keep it lean and fast. Pick a 5‑acre derelict lot, get a 30‑day permit for a pop‑up park, lease the land for just a few thousand dollars, build modular ramps with steel frames, install a quick tarp for weather. Use social media to hype it, sign up kids for a “first‑day” event, then shut down for the night. After a month, if the buzz is high, pitch a permanent spot with a city‑approved proposal. Keep the budget under ten thousand, get all the safety docs in, and you’ll own the space while keeping the grit. Let me know if you need the permit checklist.

That’s a solid sketch, but 30‑day permits on a derelict lot? City paperwork is a pain, even for a quick pop‑up. I’ll hit you up with the checklist and we’ll see if the paperwork can keep pace with the ramps. Also, the tarp and steel frames sound good, just make sure the concrete slab can handle the weight. We’ll keep the vibe raw, but let’s not get hit by a fine for “unapproved use.” Keep me posted on the lot sign‑up and we’ll map the rest.

Got it, keep it tight. I’ll grab the lot inventory, run a quick load test on the slab, and line up a “quick‑approval” application with the city’s rapid‑process department. If that stalls, we’ll pivot to a modular, lighter‑weight frame—maybe aluminum instead of steel—so the slab stays safe. I’ll get the checklist over and we’ll iron out the paperwork in parallel with ramp design. Hang tight, I’ll keep you in the loop.

Sounds good, man. Just make sure the aluminum isn’t too flimsy for the drops we’re dreaming about. And keep an eye on that rapid‑process, it’s a maze. Hit me with the checklist when you’ve got it, and I’ll start sketching the ramp layout. Stay sharp, we’ll keep the raw feel and the money flowing.
