Vert skating is a style of skateboarding that takes place on a vertical ramp, often referred to as a halfpipe. Skaters use the ramp's walls to gain height and perform tricks, such as flips and spins, while airborne. The goal is to showcase creativity and skill through various maneuvers. This sport is popular in both professional and amateur settings, with competitions often held to highlight the best performances. Vert skating has roots in the 1970s and has influenced other extreme sports, including BMX and inline skating. It remains a thrilling spectacle for both participants and spectators.
