Nottingham Vert Ramp

Potential Build Costs
A budget cost was gained for a vert ramp of 40' wide x 11' high, including a lower section, with concrete foundation pads, with a guide cost of £42k (£21 x 2000 kind people). Metal frame and an exterior grade skate surface. Looking at the great fundraising amount they achieved for this vert ramp in Wales, maybe we can do something similar one day soon to achieve a dream once a suitable council park or charity linked space can be founded.

Examples of stepped vert ramp walls, if there is the space and width available to create this potential layout.

This could encourage a wider range of riders with varying skillsets and confidence levels to use the higher vert ramps more, especially if a midi or mini ramp is not close by to build up their confidence..

UK BMX VERT Series UK BMX VERT Series page. Details for the 2023 Series will be released soon. 4 events spread across the UK to inspire the next generation of BMX vert riders.

This vert ramp in the USA has one side with a stepped lower section (less/no vert) to build up confidence with riding a high vert ramp. The highest level is 11'-6" apparently. The lower sections looks similar to some vert ramp heights built in the 1980s in the UK, Maybe a design/layout worth considering to get more riders trying vert again? Learning to drop in on a 14' high ramp isn't going to encourage most people, but maybe a lower sedtion/s would be a good starting point. Plus a channel roll-in.

A vert ramp built for progression and fun for all skill levels and ages, to encourage demand and fun. Whilst nurturing friends and riders communities.

What's your views on a vert ramp to complement a great skate scene and varying terrains, with a goal to encourage more riders on this type of ramp?
