Outdoor wood park in MN? Is it going to survive the winter?

Yep. Its all treated wood and topped with skatelite.

We build the shit outta ramps here in MN - pretty much because we have to!

with skatelite there is no winter issues that stuff is bomb proof. One thing I do notice though is that moisture can get in between the plys and freeze in the winter and bust some screws which then your left with a broken screw shaft in the hole so you have to kinda angle the new screw a bit to get it to take....just rambling here

we use stainless steel screws that have twice the diameter on the thread than the usual 'deck-mate' type screw.

they fucking rock and hold surface down like a mofo.

no rust. no broken screws. just smooth as a baby's ass riding surface.

This is just the outdoor area. There are some ramps inside right next to this as well!

Took the weekend off and went tubing down the Cannon River with my gal. I definitely got sunburned but had fun doing it...

Here's the progress mid-way through Day 6.
