Second, you need to find a vert ramp. Finding one can be tough – it all depends on where you live. There are a few ways to go about finding a vert ramp:

First off, you can ask at your local skateboarding shop. They should have a good idea. But, sometimes they don't. So, for situations like that, you can check out the following websites:

  • Concrete Disciples - these guys have been pulling together world-wide lists of skateboard parks for a long time now. The parks are rated, have photos, directions - everything. And, you can use their filer system to find the park that you want. Just search for parks around your area, and see if you can find one with a vert ramp.

  • Free Skate Parks - another website with loads of skateparks listed. If you don't find what you want on Concrete Disciples, give Free Skate Parks a look.
Hopefully, between these websites and asking at your local skate shops, you will be able to find a vert ramp near you. You may end up having to drive a ways, and you will likely end up having to pay a fee. That's the way these things work!
