The Shaman of Bowl Corners

I spotted this post and photo on the Credence site of the new EmpireBMX bowl, another Ryan Corrigan masterpiece.

I will be forever fascinated by ramp building, especially the complicated sculptures that Ryan is known for. Before we launched Least Most, on a drive back from North Carolina I mentioned to Crandall that I would love to see a bowl-corner how-to. If not to learn how to build one myself, at least to watch someone like Ryan work through the process.

A few months later, Stew Johnson was kind enough to catch up with Ryan during the build of the last Empire bowl and they put together this great how-to for us, capped by some amazing riding.

I watched that video over and over again and when the opportunity presented itself, I gave building a corner a shot. You can see my humble attempt in the foreground below. Needless to say, after building one myself, my fascination with anyone who can build corners with any level of proficiency was concreted.

Thanks Ryan.
