Howdy all, Las Vegas burners, I got a call today from Jonesy, burning man art coordinator, who has approved some things I built and refer to as 'Rainbow Ramps', basically a couple of 2' high by aprox 4' to 5' wide skateboard and bmx launch ramps, quarter pipes, slant ramps, and a stripper pole painted all various colors meant to be a 'thing to be discovered' out by the orange trash fence. (Please see photos and basic sketch below).
And after a dui while riding my 49cc moped earlier this year (yup, those basic playa freedoms dont' really transfer back to the default world as 'the other man' would have you know) I have been wiped out financially. I got that thing after a 60 hour work week trying to save up money for my art and whatnot for burning man this year.
A bit about me, my name is john (or Serial Carpens, my art persona, or plain ole' MG Nos at burning man) and attended my first burn 10 years ago in 1999 as a resident of northern California, I've since been in Las Vegas almost 8 years and have picked up the ball again since regarding burning man just these past few years, gas is quite a bit different coming from las vegas than berkeley!
Hope this message goes to the right folks!
Anyway, if anyone has a flatbed truck with some room or a large cargo van or whatnot, Please! Feel free to give me a call and discuss, I also would be needing a ride up but would be packing in a complete minimalist style and would have all my stuff well organized ( I also have a camp up there that I'd be staying at, Camp Chop Shop). In terms of getting the ramps up there, myself, preferably both, I hopefully would have a couple hundred dollars ($300 or so) to put towards gas/ your trouble for doing this, etc. As someone who grew up with skateboarding and bmx I personally would love to have something like this at burning man to just hang out by and blow off some steam, I'm sure other people would love it too, here are some pics of what I have so far, please call John Nos 702-265-2136
