The life of a ramp builder isn't always glory. Burned out tools, splinters in the eye, deadlines to meet, crappy weather and fighting the army. What? Nate Wessel flew to China to fix a vert ramp for an important contest. It must have been an important contest if they fly someone in from the USA to fix a ramp. When Nate worked on the ramp, the China army walked in and made him stop for whatever reason. Clever Nate decided to sneak in at 2am to finish the ramp but the China Army doesn't sleep and they surrounded the vert ramp. Imagine being in this position and all you want to do is fix a bloody ramp! Nate survived and was hired to do some building at the new Little Devil facility. Let me correct that, it's not "some building", the indoor wooden bowl stuff looks killer! For pics on the progression of the ramps, surf to (throw a shakka in there) www.littledevilbrand.com. Derek Adams and his LD-army are keeping a close eye on the project and sneak in at night to do some pre-finished riding themselves. They better watch out for Nate's nail gun.
