A skater drops into a rolling chain of wooden ramps that looks unlike anything else in a normal skatepark — this is the Skatercross ramp at Clairemont Skatepark in San Diego, California, and it’s the only one of its kind anywhere. The footage is shot entirely from a helmet-mounted GoPro, so the reader gets the same view the skater gets: ramp lips rushing up, palm trees swaying past the edges of the fisheye lens, and a long, undulating course stretching out below.
What is the Skatercross ramp at Clairemont Skatepark?
From above, the structure looks like a set of connected wooden bowls and hips, each one dropping and rising into the next, running down a length roughly comparable to a couple of city buses parked end to end. Skater and filmmaker Jeromy Green stands at the top with his skateboard in hand, pointing down the line before rolling in, the whole park and its surrounding chain-link fence, palm trees, and green benches visible below.
The ramp’s transitions curve and dip in a way that’s more like a motocross track built out of skateable wood than a standard vert ramp or bowl. That shape is what gives the feature its name, and why Green says it’s the only one of its kind in the world.
What happens during the session
The GoPro angle drops low into the transitions as Green carves through the curved sections, his shadow stretching across the wood in the bright midday sun. At one point the camera catches a red graffiti tag stamped into one of the ramp’s humps, a small detail that marks the surface as well-used and well-loved by whoever skates it.
Near the end, another skater with curly hair leans into frame, skateboard tucked under one arm, smiling for the camera against a backdrop of more ramps and a clear blue sky — a reminder that even a solo session eventually crosses paths with someone else at the park.
Green notes he hadn’t sessioned this ramp heavily in about a month before strapping on the camera and a helmet mic to bring viewers along for the ride.
