FreshPark Quarter Pipe Module – Grey

These ramps are a good design, but the issue with them is that the metal transition plate is a straight angle to the ground. There is no curve to transition that allows a nice smooth transition from the ground to the ramp. Whenever you enter into the ramp, it's a very abrupt angle, especially with smaller tires. I contacted the company and they said nobody has complained about it, but I'm seeing multiple reviews to the contrary. I wish they would fix the transition and make it a nice smooth curve, I would buy multiple more. I told them I had plans to build two large skate parks, and that wasn't enough of a driver for them. I will either have to create my own transition plates or look for something else. It's pretty annoying. I have eight of these ramps in different configurations, and I'm having to modify them myself, which is ridiculous. In my opinion, the transition plate makes them extremely undesirable and unusable for skateboard sized wheels, despite the marketing videos of professional skaters "putting up" with the crap transition angle... Good grief.. just fix the dang transition plate!

This is a great product. Its sturdy and heavy yet easily moveable since one side has wheels. It would be a pain to fold up after every use. We don't fold it up but have moved it to new locations. We have 100+ lb. young teenagers skating it every day and it has held up with really no sign of wear. Make sure to periodically check and tighten the bolts as they can come loose.

The materials are robust and the idea is great- skate ramps that are durable and easily stored. However, there is a fatal flaw in the metal noseplate. It has no arc, so the interface between the flat ground and the ramp is a wedge, creating an extremely harsh and abrupt transition. The ramp itself is noisy and flexes, and the metal wedge just rings its bell in a bad way. I emailed them asking if anyone had considered modifying the noseplate to make the transition smoother, and they replied saying nobody had considered it, but it sounded like a good idea. I’m posting this review in the hopes they will do it. I’d happily pay for an upgraded noseplate.

We bought this ramp for our son for his birthday this summer, and he has been using it heavily since, for skateboarding, RipStiking and inline skating. He likes the angles, the texture, and the overall dimensions of the unit. I like how sturdy it is and that, in spite of its durability, it can be folded and moved. (Not easily! This thing is heavy.) While we have this in our garage, one of the features that drew me to it particularly was the durability--many homemade ramps or ramps constructed from kits are made of wood, and they are prone to warping and splintering. I expect this one will stay with him for years to come...and, best of all, when he finally reaches an age to strike out on his own, he'll be able to fold it, put it in the trunk and take it to his own garage. My son likes that it is part of an expandable system. There are many ways to personalize the various products offered by FreshPark into a fairly sophisticated home skatepark. As these things aren't cheap, though, he's going to be saving for some time before he gets to put his ideas into action. (A quick word about assembly: my husband and I put this together without a lot of trouble. However, we did find it a bit difficult to put the bolts into place when the unit was (as per instructions) lying face down. It was much easier to turn it on its side and to actually angle the hinges as necessary to line them up.) Although currently not in stock with Amazon, they can be purchased directly from the company. I hope Amazon will bring them back. I'd have never known about them if they were not here, and this was exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure there are other moms and dads who are looking for something like this that will (a) last and (b) can be moved out of the way!

Kids are having fun on it - but quality disappointing. In one week the paint is chipping and rust is showing through, see pictures.
