288: Delaware Water Gap Vert Facility…….Allen Gibson says come one come all! Saturdays 1 to 4
June 28, 2008
Attention Everyone,
I have been speaking with Allen and he has expressed a willingness to cultivate an ever expanding and exciting vert scene at his DWG Vert Facility in Blairstown NJ (Which I like to think of as The Barn 2.0™) Just shoot me an email jasonoliva@gmail.com with DWG as the subject and I will make sure you experience all the Saturday afternoon (1 to 4) fun. Please send pictures!
Hi Jason,
This vid is from Sat. Allen has erected a 3.5-4 foot extension for anyone who’s up to the challenge. You will see his incredible frontside air off this thing!
Hope all is swell, Irene
ORIGINALLY POSTED JUNE 5th, 2007
Hi Jason- here are a few pics of my place – the ramp is in Blairstown NJ just
outside the Delaware Water Gap – I built it 3 years ago and it was
constructed by Team Pain and specifically Jeff Hammond – the ramp is a
smaller version of (Bob) Burnquists but with a bend from deep to shallow which
provides a very cool dynamic. 12 vert with 10.6 tranny, 13.5 on the
extensions, 7 shallow bowled corners. It is well heated for winter,
designed for natural light year round and well-maintained.
I welcome anybody who wants to come out and skate – I work in finance
during the week and my family uses this as our weekend home -
I haven’t had a moment to get myself linked into to site but I looked at it this
evening and you should be applauded for not merely a great job but you
have a real sense of the beauty of skateboarding!
all the best,
Allen
Thanks for the kind words Allen.
Allen and I were introduced by mutual friends in NYC…Who would have known he had constructed East Coast Skatings best kept secret!…Well the cats outta the bag and Allen has asked for it..hope you have a BIG couch.. he he

The place looks too good to be true. Thanks, Allen for the invite, I hope to connect with you and some other long lost steam bretheren in the near future. I’m only about an hour and 1/2 away. What’s the best way to get in touch with you all?

VERT IS NOT DEAD!
Go find Bucky’s massive backyard pool. It’s called “HEAVEN” and rightly so.
Saddle up, cowboy!
