Schmidty’s Ramp & Camp

Written By Mandy Shunnarah

I’d heard good things about Schmidty’s Ramp & Camp, but nothing compares to that feeling of pulling up at a random field in West Lafayette, Indiana, and seeing this massive spine with a volcano, regular bowl, and clamshell bowl in the woods overlooking a lake. It’s a serene environment that, counterintuitively, lends itself to being the ideal spot for a serious shredfest.

I took some video of the rollerblade competition, so see for yourself!
