May 18th marked the one-year anniversary of the Corey Lawrence Memorial Vert Ramp grand opening in Lawrence, Kansas.

Even the Skeleton Key gang came out this year, including Darren Navarrette, Nathan Midgette, Josh Rodriguez, Gavin Liller, Alex Hajimihalis, Cam Noren, Mike Jones and Mikey Taylor. Nothing but good times, good food and good music to celebrate the ramp and Corey's legacy. See what you missed or relive it here. —Jake Wickersham
