In skateboarding, a "vert" ramp refers to a type of ramp that has a vertical section at the top, allowing skateboarders to perform tricks and aerial maneuvers. The design of vert ramps provides a steep incline, enabling riders to build up speed and gain height for tricks. Vert skating is a distinct discipline within skateboarding, often featured in competitions like the X Games and professional events, drawing significant crowds and showcasing athleticism.
