Once we 'outgrew' MFC I, we built MFC II. This monster was 20' wide x 10' tall with 2' of vert, pool coping, 8'decks,
lights and a chill room under the deck, (a huge ramp for that time). We'd session for hours then go into Kens house to practice,
(our band MFC), then come back out and skate some more. We were learning tricks like they were going out of style. We'd see
the new issue of Thrasher and go out and learn the latest tricks right away. Too much fun.
We later had to move the ramp because it was 15'too close to the farmers corn field. Yup, you read it right...15'... what
a hassle!! Oh well, it spawned the biggest and best ramp on the east coast at the time-MFC III.....Rob
I spent the entire winter 'collecting' wood then cutting out trannys, measuring, and building it in my fathers garage.
The most common phrase I heard that winter was, "quit making all that noise! It's late!, Shouldn't you be studying?!!" Ha.
As soon as the snow started to melt, we were out there putting it all together. Rob

"I remember we 'borrowed' the pool coping from this pool in the middle of an apartment complex in Bethlehem. It was the
middle of winter at about 2 am and it was snowing out so we were all dressed in white. We snuck in to the pool, shoveled off
about 2' of snow and proceeded to pry off all the coping blocks. I still can't believe that we didn't get caught!" Rob
