Skateboard Ramps are one of the best ways to become a really good skater.
It is a safer method of practicing as well. It sucks getting kicked out of skate spots by security or you could be out skating and roll your ankle which is really an inconvenience when you are far from home. Plus some people get embarrassed when they fall alot at skate parks or skate spots so you can practice up on a ramp at home and pull tricks all day at the skate park.
There are some basic skate ramps that you should think about getting.
Grind Boxes
Wedge Ramps
Launch Ramps and
Quarter Pipes
Now since a quarter is just a piece of a half pipe it is really nice to buy one of these if you can afford it and your friends will love you.
I just love to skate and have been skating for 12 years, not so much in the past couple, but am getting back on.
