Vert skating is a style of skateboarding that takes place on a vertical ramp, often referred to as a half-pipe. Skaters use the ramp's walls to gain height and perform tricks, such as flips and spins. The goal is to achieve impressive aerial maneuvers while maintaining balance and control. This sport is popular in both skateboarding and BMX biking communities. Competitions often showcase the skills of athletes as they navigate the ramp, with judges scoring based on difficulty, execution, and creativity. Vert skating has been a significant part of extreme sports culture since the 1970s.
