Skateboarding is way more enjoyable when you can slide more of your tricks. I say maintain it with wax or lacquer and grind easy. Do you wax or lacquer or leave things dry? Coping maintenance gets people fired up like no other. How the coping is maintained affects the type of grind you get. That is a grind with a lot of sound and vibration. Many like the rough loud grind the concrete pool coping provides. This means that smooth black steel with a little wax. ![]() This gives a good amount of material to lock your trucks for a grind.Ī tick is to bonk your wheels off the coping to propel into the air without having to pop an ollie.Ĭoping Material and Maintenance I prefer coping that grinds well. The pipe should sit 4mm" proud of the deck and 4mm" proud of the top of the transition. It becomes to catchy and makes grinds a bit of a struggle.īonk Preference plays a role in how much reveal or bonk the coping should have. Square coping is not a good fit at the top of the curved ramp. Larger pipes can be used but anything smaller will catch your trucks. The round shape is easily grinded on and if set well you can lock into it with your trucks. Each gives a different feel.īig or Little? Typical coping on a skateboard quarterpipe is round schedule 40 pipe. It can be big, little, deep, buried, bonked, metal, stone, waxed, lacquered, dry? Pick your poison.

CopingĬoping is the term for the top edge of the ramp. 4'-0" in length is the minimum for a little grind space. Width Your ramp should be wide enough for you to carve up grind and carve back down. I don't wear kneepads and don't feel like running out of a trick at top speed. With bigger ramps they get higher and higher. I find that when the ramps is 4'-0" and lower my ability to pull off tricks goes way up. I get more tricks on a small ramp and have more fun. I am a tall and can skate much deeper things but I would rather skate a smaller ramp. The steep area gives a good area of ramp to take off and land your airs. If the ramp goes higher and steeper than you can start doing airs. This gives you plenty of "room" on the transition to do your tricks. That brings the top of the ramp to about 65° from vertical. Mellow trannies are better for ollies, airs and flips.Ī good baseline transition that is a 4'-0" high ramp with a 7'-0" radius transition. Tight trannies are good for lip tricks and stuff done at the top. They have mellow trannies to accommodate the speed needed to skate them. A tight tranny will go to vert faster than a mellow one. Of course it all depends on the height of the ramp. Mellow - a large radius greater than 7'-0" that curves up slow and doesn’t get much steeper than 45°. Different sized trannies give you a different skateboarding experience.Ī tranny can be: Tight - a small radius less than 7'-0" that curves up passed 60°. ![]() Transition is the name for the curve on a skateboard quarterpipe or other ramp. For most of us a good skateboard quarterpipe will have a mellow transition the goes to 60° steep. There are a lot of cases where steep advanced ramps work well. If it tips passed 90° or vert, that's oververt. The most common ones will be near 60°.Ī vert ramp is a quarterpipe that curves until it wall goes straight up vertically from 90°. A quarterpipe does not need to be a full 90° steep at the top. ![]()
