The video contains a mini ramp and strange throwaway items like doors and pieces of wood. It is recommended by intermediate-advanced skaters that one learn to drop in on a mini-ramp and be able to execute a kickturn or a stall on the opposing transition, a fundamental skill for park and half-pipe riding.Mini ramps are also known for their appearance in skateboarding videos, such as Almost's \"Cheese and Crackers\", which stars Almost skateboarders Daewon Song and Chris Haslam. This is due to their smaller size and reduced steepness of the transitions. A 'Mini Ramp' is a skateboard ramp (think: halfpipe) that is smaller than six feet tall and doesnt contain any 'vert', meaning that it doesnt go vertical in the sloped transition. Common tricks carried out on a mini-ramp would include rock to fakie, rock n' roll, tailstall, nosestall, Axlestall and many other stall combinations.Mini ramps are considered easier to master tricks on before learning to do them on the bigger ramps. Mini ramps are also very \"mellow\" meaning that it does not go into any vert and therefore easier to learn on and less intimidating. There are also miniramps built entirely out of concrete, except for the steel copings. Mini ramps are popular to build because they are very portable, and they can fit in many indoor enclosures.Mini ramps can be covered in Skatelite, Masonite or plain plywood. Mini ramps are places where vert skaters and street skaters can meet, because street skaters can still do street style tricks, and vert skaters still have the transition to skate. Mini ramps can be considered an efficient use of space in a skate park as the rider can execute many tricks/maneuvers and spent many minutes riding nonstop in such a small, finite spaceA mini ramp can be made more versatile by adding extensions (higher sections) hips (other transitioned ramps at 90 degrees to it) or joining two mini ramps together to form a spine-mini ramp. Our closed in plywood bowl has lines for days and features 2x different 6ft hips, an 8ft. Over the years, our skate park has undergone a few upgrades - with plenty of new ramps since our original opening in 2008. Many public skateparks will choose to provide a mini ramp because it is suitable for beginners as well as more advanced riders. Our park is surfaced with smooth plywood and the a full floating floor to give you an unmatched riding
