I was lucky enough to get an invite to the MegaRanch by all time good guy Nick Petropoulos. We started off the day with a warm up on the 18 foot mini mega. A normal vert ramp is 12 foot so this was big. Then we transistioned to the mega ramp where we dropped in the landing and rode the 27 foot ramp. The take off is 55 foot high. This thing is massive! - Joe Stuart (Shiftyroyale.com).
About the MegaRanch - by Peter Wilson (Megaranchaustralia.com)
“My name is Peter Wilson, I am a Golf Professional, and a winner of tournaments around the world. My passion for Surfing & Skateboarding made me create an event a few years ago, I staged Australia’s largest one day golf event, and positioned a vert ramp in middle of the golf event!
After this event I noticed that for the top level skateboarders and BMX riders, there are no facilities for them to train for the big air competitions. Currently in the United States, there is Bob Burnquist’s Private backyard Mega Ramp, Danny Way has created a private ramp off the charts in Hawaii, and there is the Woodward West Mega Ramp (torn down in 2019?).
In Australia there is not many high standard facility’s available for my action sports athlete friends to train on are no Mega Ramp’s a lot of them have moved to America. If my kids wanted to Pursue a career in Actions sports I didn’t want them to abandon Australia, so with my main sidekick Chaddy we took it upon ourselves to create the Megaranch training facility. After the first one had to be relocated it was the perfect opportunity to build it better and properly, we wanted to create a Megaramp that was safe enough to progress all ages into there perspective sports through expert guidance in camp style environments. We now have created a place for BMX Riders and Skateboarders in Australia to have a place to train on, and potentially reach the X-Games level”.

In August 2023, a group of individuals with inhuman strength was witnessed causing disturbances in the city of New New York. Surveillance footage showed the culprits: They were replicants - PLAY.
Replicants, for those unfamiliar, were originally designed as advanced biomechanical beings, created to perform tasks deemed dangerous for humans. Their AI was sophisticated, but it was believed they lacked the human touch – emotions, consciousness, and free will. But the events unfolding in New York suggested otherwise… Featuring: John Bolino, Eugen Enin & Yuto Goto.

Just like last year, the next generation of Rollerblading wants to send a signal for peace and justice. There are so many bad things happening in the world right now that should be better. We as a community want to contribute to making the world a little better. After all, it is our future that is at stake here. But how? With what we do best: Rollerblading.
We joined together and made a skate video. In the video skaters from Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Japan, the UK and the Netherlands are represented. If you want to support our project, you can help us with a donation that goes directly to UNICEF against global hunger. Link on Unicef.de.
