Desert Skate Ranch in Mojave Desert Continues Prep for Fall 2024 Relaunch

The Desert Skate Ranch, located in the middle of California's Mojave Desert, has been around for a few years. Recently, this little gem came under new ownership, with Cory Keen (of Keen Ramps) and all-around ripping human, TJ Gaskill steering the ship and making some major improvements to the place.

They've been putting in a ton of work to make this already epic skateboarding dreamland even more epic and are prepared to launch DSR 2.0 this Fall!

Aside from adding new stuff to skate (like the DeathMatch mini ramp above), they're also staying busy building roads, carving out campsites and generally revamping the place to accommodate the masses that will surely flock to this incredible place. Because as rad as this mini ramp looks... there's an entire concrete park to rip around on as well. Check it below:

The DIY spirit is alive and well out there in the desert—in fact, it's thriving—and these dudes know first hand that the old saying, "If you build it, they will come" is all too true. Really, though... if there's ever been a place to grab your friends and go on a skateboarding field trip, this is the place.

Just seeing these pictures and videos (and really, all the incredible work and progress these dudes have been making) gets my leg revving like crazy. Skating, camping, live music, fire pits, BBQ—again, it's simply paradise.

If you aren't following the Ranch on Instagram ( @desertskateranch ), be sure to click on over and do it. They're posting updates pretty consistently and we'll certainly be doing the same over here.

Above all, if you happen to find yourself over there before their official launch, be respectful, pick up your trash and simply put: don't be lame! These guys are putting in a lot of time and energy to make this place rad for everyone to enjoy, so let's give them the same respect back. Keep up the good work, dudes! This is epic.
