I bought an Entire SKATEPARK in the middle of the Desert!
Спорт
Keen Ramps Founder: Cory Keen and his friends (TJ Gaskill of Good Times Vans and Ryan Flynn of Chops Mfg) bought 5 acres of land in the Mojave Desert with a concrete skatepark on it. Check it out on instagram: @DesertSkateRanch

Congrats on buying this place with the intent to preserve it. I passed through in June 2022 on my exodus out of California and reached out to the previous owner to skate it. Very gracious guy, gave me the gate code and only asked that I left a modest donation for future additions to the park. Hope to skate it again some day. I preferred the "flow" area to the cradle area, but it was all great frankly. And my 2¢ is that I like "Desert skate ranch." Its a 50's era home and cowboys and ranching were part of the pop culture at the time.
you can't change the name...it is the desert skate ranch. there's history to this place including a thrasher cover.

Me neither
please make a series out of this!!!
A spot like that, with a pool in the desert, needs a name like "Golden Oasis" or "Starlight Park". And yes for a bunch of simple platforms on pier blocks with corner posts and a canvas awning. Put some fence or trellis on the highway side. People could pull up to their platform, put up a tent at one end and post up with their camp chairs and cooler.

i bet the milky way can be seen at night in that area away from streeet lights- which is way more amazing than the northern lights
Looks sick guys!!❤ I'm a 45 yr old female who just hopped back onto a board after 20 some odd years lol and I am shocked as to why I ever thought not skating was a good idea ???😢 Anywho I love your vision and I would totally spend a week in one of the themed tiny homes and skate 24/7 Good looking out!❤❤❤

Would you believe me if I say I was watching this video having just gotten back on the board at 47 after 17 years away and asking myself, “why did I ever stop?” 😊 Then I remembered the work, the kids, the mortgage and the broken bones. It’s awesome to be back though - better late than never. Either way, watching these guys skate reminds me of why I did it for so long - good times with good friends.
This might have been one of the most fun videos I've watched on youtube. Laid back skating, everyone having a good time, hearing about future plans. I really hope the dream just keeps progressing. I laughed out loud at mtv cribs ender
This is epic Cory. Cant wait to see the grand vision come to life.
This is a fantastic idea! It's an absurdly photogenic pool and location in general. The mountains in the background make everything epic

I think we’re gonna have to hold off on fixing up the house for a bit but want to get at least a little cabin or 2 with some bathrooms/ shower for people to use in the interim
DBC..Daily Blessings Coming! .. Thank You ALL for Everything, Everyday!! ... Heck Yeah, That Property is AWESOME! .... If Y'all ever NEED a New Hire or helping hand, I'm a really good hard worker and always dreamed of working around skateboarding.
Congratulations Cory & Keen Ramps 🤙 I see BIG things happening there in 2024!
You have something special there man!
SO RAD! What a skaters dream come true
This is a dream come true! As others have said, fix it up to the bare minimum so you can live there while fixing up the rest! Hope you do progression/build videos of the project! Super cool, congratulations!
Id remodel a bathroom and a bedroom, then you could live out there while the rest of the place gets remodeled

what a great opportunity! The most important thing about the project is doneeeee
Pump and grind is a epic name...🤘
Congrats Cory! This is amazing.
Just keep the pool as an actual pool. That would make the spot twice as sick
Plans sound great! You need to make it attractive to customers to keep it economically viable. Since in such a hot area, i think real swimming pool could be a great addition to keep the guests cool. Also a bar and concert venue sounds really good.

Maintaining a pool out there is a full time job. Most the ponds are drained due to drought restrictions.

I'd definitely work for you I'm a artist I love to skate to congratulations bro
Fuck yeah! So stoked to see peach up in the mix as well.
Sick acquisition, can't wait to see how it develops. I moved onto dirt jumping from skating last year so the fact that you're developing that part as well with some dirtbiker buddies sounds awesome. I don't travel much but I'd come visit while there's snow on the ground for sure.
Can't wait till your ready for peeps..💯🤘🔥🤘
Dale decker is just dan Corrigan when he shaves
The plans for this sound EPIC! cant wait to see where this goes!
Dude I am so jealous. This is like a dream come true. I’m for sure coming out for your first event. So so cool. Congratulations
It's beautiful.
Dope shirt bro! Thank you for rocking with us
Place is super fun, congrats! I rode it a year or two back and was hoping to come check it out again this winter...day sessions available for respectful humans on bikes?
Desert death track!
The fact you got footage without Dan horning in is great.
This will be amazing when it’s finished keep up the great work!
That’s incredible ! Great find.
this place is going to be so wicked!
what an insane sneak peek, maybe one day ill stay here? dope
couldnt have landed in better hands. so dope!
Think about the branding of skatetopia. The name sticks because its simple and descriptive. Your property is in the desert, so its like an oasis. I would name it The Oasis. Like "lets go out to the oasis this weekend"

Skated that place many times when it was just a pool, then again when the park was built. Place is a blast
Bruhh a cop and a bank robber both owned it😂 that’s legendary in itself!
So good. Skating that little pool is gnarly

desert skate ranch for life, history matters.. especially skate history
Super Stoked on Pump and Grind Skatepark!! I am rolling up on 60, but still love to surf and skate. I live in St. George, Utah and drive by there going to SD, can't wait to see the progress!
This is a great idea! Congratulations!
So stoked for you 100%
Congratulations, looks sick
Congratulations Cory!
Awesome!!!
THIS IS SO COOL CORY IS THE MAN!
Sick man I went there for a jam 2 years ago
So sick congrats! The Shredders Oasis!
I've been waiting for this video. The dream coke true.
It would be cool to add more spots for the skatepark with skate rails & whatever cool ideas that come to mind
Can't wait to book at stay\trip out to this place!
Get some 30amp power if you can so people can roll up with their RVs, I know for sure we'd bring our travel trailer here!
Desert Skate Ranch is epic. Hopefully the DPC can keep throwing their events there!

Very cool 😎
Place is super fun!! Can't imagine skating with more then 5 people.

I was born there. Pump and grind is illl … can skate there one day ..
This is gonna be so rad! Are you going to open to the public? I can imagine some legendary skate sessions with live music and campouts! Great idea!
what a sick park
I'll come visit you guys in the future when you get all your stuff together
Build it and they will come , it’s a venue , call it the AIR WALK B&B bowl and breakfast , I’ll come visit!!!
It would be awesome to see someone 360 grab that volcano shaped feature. Cool vid anyhow.
