“Dreams are achieved with patience and perseverance. It is the best description for the Tlacuacha Ramp. Two  years to carry out the construction of this 100% DIY in a remote part of the city where even getting water was a problem. Rubén, the owner of the place and a good friend, had immense patience building these ramps next to what will be his new house.

It wasn’t easy but with the help of friends who were always there from the beginning, it was texperiences we have ever had.

The Tlacuacha Ramp is a place where Rubén has welcomed any skater who wants to have a good time, learn how to build and to enjoy the forest.” – Miguel Angel López @malvfoto
