Why we all accept mini-ramps and not their older brothers, the vert, I will never understand… The level of skating that goes on atop a 15 foot monster is just as amazing as that little combo some street skater pulled, but the adrenaline rush is ten times stronger.
If you want a taste of the action, get yourselves over to Holland for the Halfpipe Horror event that will single-handedly try and resuscitate the Dutch vert scene. A 12m wide, 3.7m high vert ramp stands tall in the centre of Rotterdam at the Westblaak Skatepark and awaits your arrival on the 25th June for a comp that can hopefully pump some young blood back into skateboarding’s roots.
