;Early Skateboard in Norway
Tynset had one of Norway's very first pro [[skateboard]] [[vert ramp]], it was constructed 1981-82 by Erik Snedsbøl and located in the forest near Tela Sag & Høvleri on [[Telneset]]. It was one of the first pro vert-ramp's during the prohibition period (1978–89) in [[Norway]]. From 7 September 1978 to 9 May 1989, skateboarding was completely banned in [[Norway]]. At that time, Norway was the only country in the world where it was forbidden to sell, buy or stand on a skateboard. The ban was introduced by the Nordli government and lifted by the [[Brundtland]] government, both emanating from [[Arbeiderpartiet]] (Norwegian Labour Party). 
Snedsbøl's skateboard ramp was the first to get permission for use in Norway during the prohibition period, and contributed to the softening of the [[Law of Norway]]. The newspaper [[Arbeidets Rett]] by Jan E. Øvergård published an article on 12 October 1983. The ramp was later published in the [[Sweden|Swedish]] skateboard magazine Uppåt Väggarna (no. 5/6, 1983).
