It's hard to build a monster if late night bicyclists keep running over it.
Organizers have been trying to help protect the emerging 'monster mini-ramp' being constructed for skateboard competition in the extreme sports festival - Nissan Velocity Games '06, said Wes Maeckel, director of the competition. They have chased away some of the riders who are shifting around more than $25,000 in materials by using the unfinished ramp.
It undoes all the lag bolts,' Maeckel, 28, said. 'Each day it sets us back about three hours having to use the forklift to hoist it back in place, before shimming and leveling it."
