![]() Some ramps have just the right pitch to where you can launch out or choose to roll back in. Mega ramps, often seen at the X-Games, feature a quarter pipe that is 20-30 feet high. You can go to many skateparks and find quarter pipes that are much higher than this. You can buy quarter pipes for your home that are a couple feet high and 4 to 8 feet wide. The purpose of a quarter pipe is to do a trick at the top of the ramp, either on the coping or in the air, and then come back down.Ī quarter pipe can literally be almost any size. In other words, by the time you reach the top of the ramp, the nose of your board will be close to pointing straight up. Quarter pipes, by definition, approach a 90 degree angle (and sometimes meet it). They once again can be made of most materials. Quarter pipes are very often seen at all types of skateparks. ![]() Once you’ve gotten some experience skateboarding and are comfortable with the smaller types of ramps, a quarter pipe would be the next thing you might want to approach. A launch ramp can have various “exit angles” though they are usually going to be 60 degrees or less. Like the name implies, it’s meant to launch you a bit higher than a kicker ramp would. What makes a launch ramp different is that its slope has a degree of curvature. Similar to kickers, a launch ramp can be both a movable element and also an attached feature of a skatepark. Concrete kicker ramps are a common feature at skateparks and are often connected or close to a nearby rail or ledge. Portable kicker ramps are usually around 2-3 feet long and made from wood, plastic or some other composite materials. Relative to the ground, a kicker ramp’s surface is typically banked at about 15-30 degrees. They essentially consist of a bank or slope at a straight angle. One of the most basic types of skateboard ramps are kickers. If you are new to skating, the following tips will guide on the types of skate ramps and the decision of whether to purchase or build them yourself. For example, some kicker and launch ramps and small enough to fit into the trunk of a car while most half pipes require vast open spaces and are not easily transported. ![]() All ramps are built to order and are usually installed at your convenience between 7-14 days from the purchase date.Skateboard ramps come in all shapes and sizes.
