Such a ramp is suited for a municipal skateboard park. The prototype is for a 4' mini ramp with deck. Each section is 8' wide and has one transition. Four such sections, welded together, would make a 16' wide mini ramp with 10' flat-bottom. The prototype drawing could be modified to make a spine ramp or to add bowl corners.
The structure resembles a cross-section of a swimming pool, essentially two concave ramps (or quarter-pipes), topped by copings and decks, facing each other across a flat transition, also known as a tranny. [1] Originally half-pipes were half sections of a large diameter pipe.
There is usually a narrow metal rod running the length of the top edge; this is called the coping. There may also be a flat platform connected to it at the top; this is called the deck. Quarter pipes have "transitions" which is the size of the radius of the ramps riding surface. Half pipe – Two Quarter Pipes facing each other (half of a pipe ...
A trick where the skater reaches the top of the transition, leans on the skateboard's nose atop the ramp, and drops back in switch or reverts to regular either frontside or backside. Pivot: the most basic go up and turn around on your back truck. Add a little flair by slashing at the coping instead. frontside or backside. Pogo
Mini ramp: Usually a half-pipe that is shorter than the rider; most mini ramps are not tall enough for the transition to reach vertical. Mega ramp: A very big ramp, usually for vert skateboarding. Quarter pipe: A single ramp transitioning from horizontal to any obtuse angle up to vert. Bowl: Empty in-ground pools serve as good bowls. Concrete ...
Aerials (or more commonly airs) are a type of skateboarding trick usually performed on half-pipes, pools or quarter pipes where there is a vertical wall with a transition (curved surface linking wall and ground) available. Aerials usually combine rotation with different grabs.
A vert ramp is a form of half-pipe used in extreme sports such as vert skating, vert skateboarding, vert BMX and vert roller skating. Vert ramps are so named because they transition from a horizontal plane (known as the flat-bottom) to a vertical section on top.
Hoffman later built a full vert half-pipe ramp with similar dimensions, including a 12m high roll-in ramp, from the roof of his warehouse. [1] Danny Way thought up the now-common "MegaRamp" setup: roll-in ramp, gap jump, and the final quarter pipe ramp. This setup was first seen at Point X Camp in the OP King Of Skate pay-per-view special in 2002.
