Middlebury Mini Ramp update — and Grand Opening scheduled for August 6!
Following a pretty weather-event-ful last couple of weeks, we can finally say: The Middlebury Mini is finished and ready to ride/skate! We are incredibly proud of this project and we may be biased but we think it is REALLY fun to skate. Come check it out for yourself ~ and tag us in your clips and photos on Instagram. Thank you so much to all our partners and volunteers for your contributions and efforts to make the Middlebury Mini a reality!
