The Community Collective India

this kids name is Benjamin Franklin

many hands making light work.
will do another update in a few days with the finished ramp.

You guys are bloody rulers!

mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu now has a mini ramp. Massive props to Ben, Adam, Shake, Jacob and all involved.. #Tccindianvacation #weareadvaita #LikeSB #alis_dk #skatediy #skateboardinginindia

your work is seriously amazing, fellas! keep it up.

here is a few more progress photos from the mini ramp build in Mahabalipuram.

the heat here has been making it really hard to work the concrete.

the german guys were a massive help on this build, Jacob working like a machine.

tools are down and building is officially over. this dirt track is what we have to walk through everyday to get to the site.

finally had some time to go out skating, just about all the surfaces in town are too rough to skate but we found a good spot at our hotel.

the next day we headed back out to the village to skate the ramp, we are finally offloading the last box of boards aswell

we put a Ganesh in the ramp, apparently we put him the wrong way as he should be facing east to the sunrise.

group photo with Ganesh

some serious creaming went down

these kids were a massive help while we were building, filling and carrying buckets of sand of gravel aswell as mixing concrete.

grandpa approves of the ramp.

thats a wrap for the last build, we are heading further south to Pondicherry for a few days with the European guys to do a bit of skating/boogieboarding/sightseeing.
