DIY Skater Richie Banks and The Great American Dirt Farm

- By Ramon Gonzales

A skater's oasis on the outskirts of Sin City.

Skateboarding authority, The Berrics, visited the skirts of Las Vegas to check in with skateboarder, photographer, videographer, and resourceful builder Richie Banks. Truly going DIY, Banks sourced a space, funded the project, and amassed a crew of volunteers to build The Great American Dirt Farm.

The video chronicles the process and man power it takes to find, plan, build and pay for a place designed for skaters, by skaters. The quick turnaround and the organization are definitely impressive - that is until the guys finally get to ride.

Watch the video below.
