In it, the Bones Brigade\u2014Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, and Mike McGill\u2014embarked on a journey to find Won Ton &#8220;Animal&#8221; Chin, a mythical skater who had gone missing. The film concluded with the Bones Brigade skating what became known as the\u00a0<em>Chin\u00a0<\/em>ramp\u2014a \u00a0vert spine outfitted with an escalator, extensions, channels, a mini ramp on one of its decks, and a hidden tunnel. While it was said to be south of Guadalupe, in Mexico, between two junkyards, it was actually built in a field in Oceanside, California. The Bones Brigade skated it for a matter of days, in 1986, before it was torn down.<\/p>\n<p>This past September, Tim Payne, who built the structure, quietly made his way to Woodward West, where he created a near-identical\u00a0<em>Chin<\/em>\u00a0ramp 30 years later. The original members of the Bones Brigade reunited at the camp for a series of sessions on perhaps the most famous vert ramp in skateboarding&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>With commentary from Payne and the skaters, the video above shows how it went down.
