SkipWaste - making ramps outta junk

Ever wandered past a skanky skip and thought "Damn, I wish I could hop inside and skate the crap outta that thing"?

No? Then cast your eyes over this little creation, designed by Goldsmiths University graduate Oliver Bishop-Young, and you may start to see the mad potential in your everyday junkyard paraphernalia.

It's a skip... made into a ramp. Simple? Yes. Fun? Looks like it. Smelly? Perhaps. Either way, we're definitely feeling Oliver's imaginative use of wasted space.

The moral of the story? Waste not, want not. And never underestimate your ability to skate any old piece of crap.
