Skinboy was employed by Swansea City Council to build the ramp.
This involved many days of drinking tea in Arwyn’s flat in the middle of town, then visiting the ramp construction later on in the day when everyone else had finished work to help out.
The ramp was completed with 1 foot of vert and a wooden surface. Both Arwyn and myself had a sneaky session on the ramp one night and Skin took some photos, it was awesome.
Then Twiss came home from the States just as the ramp was completed, he’d spent the last six months living with Bod and Steve Douglas in San Jose riding Page Mill and Raging Waters every day.
He insisted the ramp needed an extra foot of vert. This was reluctantly added and the metal surface and platforms completed.

Twiss went on to be known as “Captain America” from that point onwards, along wth a whole list of other appropriate nick names.

I still to this day think my favourite session was that night on the wood with 1 ft of vert.
Good times, tomsk…
