On Thursday, John Michael’s idol, Raymond Warner, came to Clairemont to practice on the “vert ramp.” Of course, if Raymond was doing it, then John Michael must also.
Now this is a daunting feature of the park that few kids will drop-in on. I’ve been on the top to take photos and the drop is fearsome, the first five feet are vertical and the bottom is a looong way.
So, yesterday, John Michael spent about 5 minutes perched on the edge, then made the drop, to a lot of cheers.
Today, Raymond returned and John Michael got back to the ramp and really began to master it.
