My friend and I decided to only ride Vert this winter at the indoor park near us.  We rode for 45 minutes last night and then we tried the regular ramps and couldn't ride them at all.  Those 13 foot transitions make everything else feel crazy.  Anyone else interested in trying?  I'm hoping to get 3-4 feet consistantly by spring.

I have a ramp at the Woodward park around an hour from me, but until my job starts, it's an expensive trip. I rode it once a few weeks ago, and that was my first time riding a real vert ramp in like three years. I'm definitely pumped to go some more though, I start my new job on Monday so I should have the cash. I'll get some pictures next time I go, I'm not sure how high I'm going, but it's a few feet. I love vert! :)

Vert is not well appreciated by many, and it has evolved like crazy... at least ESPN has not messed up with it like they did with flatland...I wish I could ride vert!

I always ride the vert ramp first when I get to the park.  Everything else seems small in comparison.  Brett, you should try the deep bowl of the Athens park.  Its 11.5 and I am ALMOST getting out of it, so I'm sure you could get 3-4" no problems. 
I have to go back to Lot 8 and work some more on that vert ramp, too.  Ver t is great.
