Corey Lawrence Memorial Vert Ramp Session Photos
5/11/2023
On May 6th, the Kansas scene came together to celebrate the life of local legend Corey Lawrence and to officially open the state’s newest vert ramp—built in honor of his memory. This ramp not only symbolizes Corey's lifelong unconditional love for skateboarding, but also serves as a vessel to bind us together for years to come. Corey forever. —Jake Wickersham
Stepping up to the park, we see Dan Askew prepping the ramp’s stickers to display Corey's name
“Does that look straight?”
Good enough for Navs
The man behind the operation, Sean Ingram shares some words for the occasion
Bart Littlejohn, the Vice Mayor of Lawrence came out to announce the opening. How's that for public service?!
All smiles
The locals were hyped to get a pic with Midwest vert icon Darren Navarrette
Corey’s parents Bill and Jackie make it official
Truly a work of art. Now, let's see some first runs!
If you build it, they will come
Landon Barnhart starts it off with a crowd-pleasing back D
A vampire in broad daylight?! Only in Kansas. Navs soars a classic backside air
And Caleb Koops gets the hang of it
No pads? No problem! Jared Smith floats a FSA
Keegan Fuentes and his dad came all the way from Denver to show some love and get a piece
Junior, the local from Larry Town, got in on the frontside action. Check that board shape!
Wichita’s own Randy Waller rips a front feeble to fakie
Lofty!
Texas transplant Ty’Rae Carter busts a back Smith
Ty’Rae grew up skating the Houston vert ramp. This eggplant is the proof in the pudding
It was a hot one
Yep, that was Corey!
Joe Jackson, Dan Askew and Navs agree it works

Mike Bell and Dan Askew
The forecast called for rain all week, instead, we got blue skies and big airs
This ramp has been in the works for a minute and to have everyone come out for the opening ceremony showed us it was all worth it. Corey forever

Resurrection In Ramona Video
In October 2008 the world collapsed. Six years later the Rumble in Ramona gets resurrected. Some things change but this is one export that China doesn't want. Smell the glove, vert dogs rule. -
