Ramp Configurations/Add ons A spine ramp consists of two quaterpipes without platforms placed back to back. A volcano is very similar but includes a short section of platform between them. Spines & volcanoes can be found both within a street course and incorporated into mini and midi halfpipes.


An extension refers to a section of ramp where the transition continues past the height of the main structure. A hip describes the junction of two ramps at an angle, and is used for transfer tricks from one ramp to another. Hips are a good way to connect a halfpipe to a street area, ensuring that the entire park can be accessed within the user flow.

A sub box is simply a box placed on top of a ramp, set back away from the coping. A canyon describes a gap between ramps across which tricks are performed. An elevator is similar to an extension except that the platform curves upwards to the raised level. All of the above configurations can be incorporated into both, street ramps and halfpipes to further their potential for tricks.
