2009 Carl’s Jr. Vert Ramp Design
In genuine Maloof style the new Carl’s Jr. Vert Ramp incorporates the first ever mini mega ramp with a 20-ft gap into a unique vert ramp. The focus on this section is the technical ability of skating the rainbow rail. Conceived by Bob Burnquist, Jake Brown and last year’s vert champ Pierre Luc Gagnon (PLG), it is divided into sections for the competition format. The corners of the ramp have been improved to allow for a showcase of technical skill.
“This is a huge step for MMC and the next level for the future of vert contests,” said Tim McFerran, GM for MMC. “This is the most creative design ever seen in a contest, serving our mission to continue the progression of skateboarding and make for the most exciting vert contest ever seen.”
“The focus is on landing as many unique tricks as possible on the ramp to bank, or whatever suits the skateboarder creatively on that section,” said Burnquist. “The eight ball format is also coming back from last year for the combination of back-to-back skill and whole ramp usage and flow. All this combined makes for a vertical skateboarding competition like no one has seen before.”
