In a nutshell, a quarterpipe is a ramp for skateboarders and snowboarders. It is a large curved surface that resembles one side of a halfpipe. It can be used to launch the boarder into the air to perform tricks and stunts or the edges can be used for grinding. The wider and larger quarterpipes allow for more complicated tricks, and the smaller ones are often combined to form a series of jumps, a small halfpipe, or what is referred to as a spine ramp. This is where two quarterpipesare placed back to back.
Using a quarterpipe allows for a lot of versatility in the configurations, and virtually unlimited combinations for course changes and variations. Quarterpipes are used in virtually every extreme sport because they provide an outstanding opportunity to "get air" and perform more difficult, and impressive, stunts.
