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 prototype could ...
Vert ramp at the 2010 Boardmasters Festival during the first skateboard free practice session. Frame and support for skateboard, BMX, and vert skating half-pipes frequently consist of a 2×6×8" lumber (actual 38 × 140 × 184 mm) framework sheathed in plywood finished with sheets of masonite or Skatelite.

A vert ramp is a form of half-pipe used in extreme sports such as vert skating, vert skateboarding and vert BMX. And vert roller skating. 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.
The metal parts known as skateboard trucks are what hold a skateboard's wheels to the deck. They are made up of a hanger that holds the axle and wheels and a baseplate that is mounted to the board. The hanger and baseplate are joined by a kingpin, allowing the truck to swivel and turn. [16]
A roll-over feature was custom-built which allowed the skater to drop in on the 70-foot-tall and roll right over a 50-foot gap in the ramp, thus allowing Schaar to keep momentum going all the way through to the quarter pipe. [3] Schaar performed several 720s and a 900 while warming-up.
The Backflip is an aerial where the rider and his board complete a full rotation on the lateral axis. If the trick is done by launching out of the ramp, the skater lands forwards. If it is done on the wall of a vert ramp, the skater lands backward, adding significantly to the difficulty and danger involved.
The most common ramp setup, used as well by MegaRamp, is a sequence of three mega ramp sections; a roll-in, a gap jump, and a vert quarter pipe. Vert half-pipe mega ramps have been built, but they are uncommon. The roll-in section consists of a single or multiple roll-ins that drop from 12m (40') or higher up.
