DIY ... Fad or not?

I remember using quickcrete to make a lil kicker bump when I was 15 or 16. Sometime in the late 80s. I think Thrasher had an article or something. We always had ramps and other things to skate as well. I had my own little skatepark out in the middle of nowhere in Washita, Ok. The kids in OKC are trying to do the same thing...and it is probably do to the magazines making certain things look "cooler."
Skateboarding is always fun!
