vert skating

Vert skating is a type of skateboarding that occurs on vertical ramps or halfpipes, which have steep, curved sides. Skaters perform tricks and maneuvers by gaining height off the ramp's edge, allowing them to execute flips, spins, and other aerial tricks. The skater’s ability to generate speed and control their movements is crucial for successful performances. This style gained popularity in the 1980s and is a key aspect of skateboarding culture, often featured in competitions and exhibitions. Vert skateboarding emphasizes creativity, skill, and the thrill of riding high on ramps.
