Vertical Halfpipe - Skateboard Contest in Amsterdam: Kingsize Halfpipe by Vertical for the Amsterdam Ramp Jam 2025
Vertical's proven Kingsize 2 halfpipe was rented for the renowned Amsterdam Ramp Jam. With an impressive width of 12m and a height of 3.8m, the professional skateboard halfpipe provided the perfect platform for the contest. The ramp was transported by truck from Switzerland and assembled within a day under the direction of Paul Heuberger and with the support of a highly motivated local skate crew. Thanks to the hard work of enthusiastic skateboarders, a strong sense of community emerged. After the event, the halfpipe, weighing over 10.5 tons, was dismantled in just five hours – a record-breaking feat. Vertical halfpipes offer optimal conditions for professional skateboard competitions, festivals, and events. Learn more about our halfpipe rental services now!
