how many ppl actually do vert not little mini ramps but proper big 15 foot pipes. i started it a few weeks ago and i just think it is so amazin. i can now get a kickflip eight foot up the 15 foot ramp but cant ride out. who else does it and what can they do

Dude, I can't even drop into on of those verts......ive actually never seen one in real life anyway but I can't even drop into the 7 foot ramp in my neighboorhood wich is anything but vertical...

Man....vert is ok and all and i can't dis something thats about sk8in but street is where its at to me vert is all the same ur doin the same thing the same movements on the same ramp and where as in street ur always doin something different in a different spot not the same old ramp but thats just my opinion oh yea and u dont gotta wear pads on the street

i agree with homefried. with street there is more variety, vert is alot more limited

i do street more than vert but i think vert is real fun to do and more people shoul;d. personally i never where pads on vert might hurt ur knees a bit more but it dont matter , i only hav to where a helmet where the skate moderater guy comes for his shift at the park

man , i think its so scary cuz theese halfs are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo big and i dont even drop in one of theese , but if i had guts i think i would do it cuz it looks soh cool you know , going hiiigh and the kickflips to indy are so stylish.... the only bad thing is that you learn a vert trick breakin your arm , your leg ....
