- Quarter Pipe Ramp – Foldable & Portable Skate Ramp for BMX, Bikes & Scooters – Backyard Ramp for Kids & Adults – Durable Steel Frame with Weatherproof Urethane/ABS Surface

These ramps are a good design, but the issue with them is that the metal transition plate is a straight angle to the ground. There is no curve to transition that allows a nice smooth transition from the ground to the ramp. Whenever you enter into the ramp, it's a very abrupt angle, especially with smaller tires. I contacted the company and they said nobody has complained about it, but I'm seeing multiple reviews to the contrary. I wish they would fix the transition and make it a nice smooth curve, I would buy multiple more. I told them I had plans to build two large skate parks, and that wasn't enough of a driver for them. I will either have to create my own transition plates or look for something else. It's pretty annoying. I have eight of these ramps in different configurations, and I'm having to modify them myself, which is ridiculous. In my opinion, the transition plate makes them extremely undesirable and unusable for skateboard sized wheels, despite the marketing videos of professional skaters "putting up" with the crap transition angle... Good grief.. just fix the dang transition plate!

We bought this ramp for our son for his birthday this summer, and he has been using it heavily since, for skateboarding, RipStiking and inline skating. He likes the angles, the texture, and the overall dimensions of the unit. I like how sturdy it is and that, in spite of its durability, it can be folded and moved. (Not easily! This thing is heavy.)While we have this in our garage, one of the features that drew me to it particularly was the durability--many homemade ramps or ramps constructed from kits are made of wood, and they are prone to warping and splintering. I expect this one will stay with him for years to come...and, best of all, when he finally reaches an age to strike out on his own, he'll be able to fold it, put it in the trunk and take it to his own garage.My son likes that it is part of an expandable system. There are many ways to personalize the various products offered by FreshPark into a fairly sophisticated home skatepark. As these things aren't cheap, though, he's going to be saving for some time before he gets to put his ideas into action.(A quick word about assembly: my husband and I put this together without a lot of trouble. However, we did find it a bit difficult to put the bolts into place when the unit was (as per instructions) lying face down. It was much easier to turn it on its side and to actually angle the hinges as necessary to line them up.)Although currently not in stock with Amazon, they can be purchased directly from the company. I hope Amazon will bring them back. I'd have never known about them if they were not here, and this was exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure there are other moms and dads who are looking for something like this that will (a) last and (b) can be moved out of the way!

The materials are robust and the idea is great- skate ramps that are durable and easily stored. However, there is a fatal flaw in the metal noseplate. It has no arc, so the interface between the flat ground and the ramp is a wedge, creating an extremely harsh and abrupt transition. The ramp itself is noisy and flexes, and the metal wedge just rings its bell in a bad way.I emailed them asking if anyone had considered modifying the noseplate to make the transition smoother, and they replied saying nobody had considered it, but it sounded like a good idea. I’m posting this review in the hopes they will do it. I’d happily pay for an upgraded noseplate.

Although I love the product itself, I didn’t know it was coming in two different packages that came at different times. But besides that it was easy to put together and was very sturdy to drop in on. It was very heavy too so I needed help moving it but overall 10 out of 10!

Kids are having fun on it - but quality disappointing. In one week the paint is chipping and rust is showing through, see pictures.

In my lifetime, I have probably built about 14 halfpipes and at least 25 quarterpipes. The problem is that I live in Ohio and the weather ruins them every year. I prefer a quarterpipe because it is not too obtrusive and you have more time to prepare for tricks. One of the biggest challenges of making a good quarterpipe is getting the bottom sheet to lie flat on the riding surface...especially after a few rainfalls has warped the wood!I was hesistant to buy this ramp because I had never physically seen it. I had watched videos and read some reviews, but the reviews did not really give mouch specific info...hopefully, this one will!The ramp is a 9 foot radius and is a bit under 3 feet high. Although this sounds kind of weak, it actually is a fun ramp. The curve is deceptive. If you look at each panel, they almost look flat, but when you ride it, you get a nice lift. Its not vertical, but you can do airs. The transisition gets you to about 65-70 degrees and the coping is excellent. It is metal and fairly burly. Lip tricks are very fun on this ramp. The material of the ramp is an ABS type plastic...it will not rot. I leave my ramp out in the rain. No issues at all on the ramp, although there is some rust on the coping...I may need to paint it, but if you grind daily, it takes care of it.I am a big skater...I am 6'1" and over 220lbs. This ramp holds me with ease. It has never slid and I can drop it, do rock n rolls, 50/50s and ollies. The ramp does give a bit on landing, but has not changed its original form. The top deck is rather small, but it can support 500 lbs and allows for lap over grinds. The bottom of the ramp is a formed piece of metal which allows for a smooth start to the ramp...I love that. The ramps seems a bit abrupt at first, but you get use to it.So...here are the pluses and minuses!PLUS- Can be easily taken down and folded away in winter...or set up in basement!- The riding surface is fast and smooth.- You can link more than 1 ramp together...fairly seamlessly.- Metal support is top notch and all connections are welded on. So much nicer than wood transitions with screws!- The surface to ramp piece is excellent...very smooth.- It loks professional. I live in a nice neighborhood. I peeled off the FRESHPARK logo and it looks a lot less obtrusive from the road.MINUS- expensive. I bought 2...- not very wide. One unit is only 4 feet wide. I bought two and hooked them together to form an 8 foot wide ramp. When I just rode the 4 footer, it was not so fun...not a lot of room. Adding the second ramp made it a who new experience..more room and rock solid. Also, when I ride just 1 ramp, there is some sliding of the ramp. My kids can do it without any issue, but I'm a tad bigger. When linked together, no issues..- the wheels it rolls on are complete garbage. I cannot believe how they skimped on this. I will be looking to replace them. They are plastic and have no bearings...will not take any abuse. For $400 a piece, you think they would give you quality wheels.- The ramp is loud. As much as I love the bottom piece of metal that allows for a smooth transition, it can make a LOUD clanging noise after repeated rides. I don't really mind it, but I am not sure if my neighbors are thrilled by it!- Heavy. This is good and bad. It is very solid, which is awesome, but when it is folded up and on its wheels, it is very heavy..150lbs (?) It tips easier than it should. If a child had this fall on him, it would not be good. Unlikeley, but I had it tilt a few times as I moved it. I was strong enough to correct it, but a kid could have problems.- Potential theft. I think they should provide a bar that you can attach and lock so that nobody can fold it up and take it from your driveway. I have to bolted together with 3 major bolts, so a theif would have to work to get it...but if you only have a 4 footer and leave it outside, it would take minutes to steal.I love the ramp. I looked for a LONG time for a ramp that would allow me to skate whenever I wanted, but would not require me to rebuild every year. A good quarterpipe costs about $200 to make. You have to relaminate every year and paint etc... This was by far the best solution once I rationalized I would skate it for many years. Those plastic ramps are total garbage...I never even considered them.I hope that answers any questions about the ramp. Bottom line is that it costs a lot of money, but it is the best value if you want this type of ramp.
