Now this is an awesome video to start your Saturday morning off with a cup of coffee. Over the years we have seen countless ramps, some crazy as hell and some basic but incredibly fun looking ramps. However, we’re pretty sure we have never seen a ramp that was entirely built from cutting trees down, milling those trees into all the boards needed and then using the wood to build out what appears to be a perfect mini ramp. Jamie Cooper-Ellis put together this awesome video showing us how him, his dad and a few friends managed to build their ramp without having to take a trip to Home Depot to buy the wood. This is really impressive and it looks like the end result was amazing. Take a look!

“This past fall we built ourselves a backyard mini. We started with pine logs milled them into 2×4’s and 2×6’s and then built the ramp using this wood. We did our best to document this project while also doing it, heres what we came up with! Thank you to Dylan Bresnahan Fraser Cooper-Ellis, Noah Hoskins and anyone else who lent a hand!” – Jamie Cooper-Ellis

Jamie Cooper-Ellis coming through with a rad new video from a a session he caught on a bowl in Vermont. We don’t see too much footage out of Vermont, but it looks like they have been hiding this gem of a spot. Hit play to watch Jamie go to work on this bowl with plenty of style and a solid bag of tricks. This will most likely leave you wanting to ride this ramp, we sure want to.

“19 year old Jamie Cooper-Ellis spent the day Riding the bowl in Ludlow Vermont this past fall, with Calvin Lyons shooting on his Sony HVR Z1N. This footage cut together by Jamie is the outcome!

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a good “lights out” BMX video. Jamie Cooper-Ellis recently got some time after hours at Rye Airfield where he went to work stacking clip after clips for this new one. Jamie has a big bag of tricks and mixes things up throughout, making for a good watch from start to finish.

“Combining the creative riding of Jamie Cooper-Ellis and the creative film style of Ben Shumlin, Locked in at Rye is the spawn of an idea of what it would be like to live in a skatepark. This intensive project was filmed over three long nights at Rye Airfield. Thanks to Beau Lambert, Rye Airfield Staff, Dondo Cuerdon.
