If you follow “Mad Mike” Guth on Instagram, you’ve caught a glimpse of his unique concoction of DIY wood creations inside an ice rink in his hometown of Weatherly, Pennsylvania in the U.S. With help from GT and his teammates, Mike put on a jam at his spot, and we were there to capture some of the wildness that went down throughout the day. At the end of the jam, GT also announced Mike is now bumped up to the Pro team; congrats!
MAD MIKE'S CRAZY DIY RAMP TOUR. Mad Mike's DIY Jamtastic Voyage is going down this Sunday and we showed up early with the GT team and got a tour of the place. One man's trash is definitely Mike's treasure and he turns all sorts of random things into shreddable obstacles.
