Everything for your tricks: stunt scooter ramps, grind rails & mini skate obstacles

Which ramp or grind rail is right for me?

Choosing the right ramp or grind rail depends on your age, experience level and available space. Below we discuss the most important factors.

How do I choose the right ramp or grind rail based on my level?

Whether you’re just landing your first ollie or doing your 50-50 grind blindly – there’s a ramp or grind rail to suit your skills.

  • Beginners: Are you just starting out with skating, scootering or BMXing? Then smaller, lightweight ramps are ideal. They are less high, easier to control and give you all the space to practice safely.
  • Advanced: Already mastered some tricks and ready for the next level? Then you want a ramp or grind rail that offers a bit more of a challenge – stable, a bit bigger and nice and versatile.
  • Pros: You think combos, not beginner moves. Go for solid, professional ramps or longer grind rails that won't limit your creativity. Go big or go home, right?

Good news: all ramps and grind rails at Streetsurfshop.nl are designed to be suitable for all levels. You can start small and go further and further – without having to upgrade right away. So no matter what level you are, you are always in the right place here.

What is the difference between small and large ramps?

  • Small Ramps: These are lightweight, portable and ideal for beginners. They take up less space and are perfect for backyard use.
  • Big ramps: These offer more speed and airtime, suitable for advanced skaters who want to perform more complex tricks. They are more stable, but require more space and are less mobile.

How heavy can a ramp or grind rail be?

  • Lightweight Ramps: Easy to move and store, ideal for temporary use. However, they can be less stable during intensive sessions.
  • Heavier ramps: Provide greater stability and are less likely to shift during use. They are ideal for permanent installations, but less suitable for frequent relocation.

What is the difference between a grind rail and a ramp?

  • Ramps: Used for jumps and aerial tricks. They range from simple ramps to complex quarter pipes.
  • Grind Rails: Long rails designed for slide and grind tricks. They are essential for practicing balance and technique.

What material is best for ramps and grind rails?

  • Plastic: Lightweight and often cheaper. Suitable for beginners and recreational use.
  • Wood: Offers a classic feel and is often sturdier. However, requires more maintenance and is less weather resistant.
  • Metal: Extremely durable and suitable for intensive use. Grind rails are often made of metal because of the smooth surface.

Can I leave a ramp or grind rail outside?

Although some ramps and grind rails are weatherproof, it is advisable to store them after use or protect them from the elements. This will extend their lifespan and maintain their quality.
