Can some one start naming/I.D. ramp types (i.e.: quarter pipe, half pipe, mini ramp).

Although my city's skate park is small, it has a lot of obstacles. I just feel like a dumby when I don't know the name of the ramps other than the big one and the not-so-big one. lol

A bowl's custom built.

A pool's an empty swimming pool, or a bowl built to look like an empty swimming pool. There's not much difference.
