September 19th, 2004, Malvern WW Park Ramp, 'Ramp of Death'.

I think this ramp was just the best, I still have the pictures and videos of going down...
I know it was a lot of work to construct and stage, but It was such a real hoot for kayaks of all sizes as well as canoes! I wish we cold have another one!

You've got a pretty sharp memory, Jim. We'll have to take it to the next level. Same questions, two photos of the same thing from the laboratory of the devious Captain Aleve:

I'm going to guess a put-in/take-out assistant for a dorry or similar boat.

Very good guess. It is

DOLLYZILLA

used by a 60 year old man with a ruptured disc to tote rocks to repair the scour damage at the end of the sidewalk by the Rockport Ledge.

Image

Counterbalanced by up to 125 pounds of steel weights and buckets of gravel, DOLLYZILLA can be balanced by one finger (wrap chain around rock, tilt and hook, stack weights until balanced):

A mosaic of stones returned the area to a dry walking surface, partially complete in this photo:

I'm officially intrigued... Can someone post pics or video of the Ramp of Death in action? That thing looks awesome!

I never thought of making a ramp out of balsa wood. Then you can make a thousand airplanes when it's dying. Genius!

Actually Owl, that ramp video is of the ramp that Heath built. I'm not sure if anyone has video of Mikes ramp in action. I know there were some pics going around shortly after though.
