Fingerboard ramps: Blackriver Ramps obstacles and rails
You can already ride on a smooth table, but the real tricks start when there is something to slide on, jump over or hold a manual on. This category holds the fingerboard ramps and obstacles in our Madrid warehouse, all from Blackriver Ramps: wooden modules that recreate street features and iron rails for grinds and slides. They work with any fingerboard, plastic or wooden.
Fingerboard obstacles we stock
Manual pad: Double Manual Pallet
The Double Manual Pallet recreates two stacked pallets with a flat surface on top. It is the obstacle for practising manuals and nose manuals, getting up with an ollie and coming down clean.
Ledge: Brick Block
The Brick Block is a wooden obstacle with two benches and a rough brick coping along its length, designed for grinds and quick tricks on the edge.
Ironrail iron rails
The fingerboard rail for grinds and slides. There is a square profile in gold and silver, and a round one in gold.
How to build a fingerboard park at home
You do not need a whole skatepark. A good order to start in:
1. A manual pad
It is the most rewarding obstacle: it teaches you to get up with an ollie, to balance on two wheels and to come down. With the Double Manual Pallet you have weeks of practice.
2. A rail
Once your ollie is under control, a flat rail opens up grinds (50-50, 5-0, nosegrind) and slides (boardslide). Place it parallel to the edge of the table so you have room to come in and roll out.
3. A ledge
The Brick Block adds height and an edge to link tricks. Together with the manual pad and the rail, you have a complete line.
About the surface: a smooth, hard table works well. If you want the obstacles to stay in place, fix them with double-sided tape or a board underneath.
Blackriver Ramps
Blackriver was founded in 1999 in Bavaria by Martin Ehrenberger, a trained carpenter, and started out precisely by building wooden fingerboard ramps. Today it also makes decks, trucks and wheels, and organises the Fast Fingers championship. If you want to know what other brands there are, take a look at the pro fingerboard brands.
Tricks for your ramps
The basic fingerboard tricks are ordered from the ollie to the kickflip, and most are practised on a manual pad or a rail. If you do not have a fingerboard yet, the complete fingerboard guide will help you choose, and in the fingerboard setups by level there are combinations of deck, trucks and wheels. The complete fingerboards come ready to try out on your ramps.
Fingerboard ramps: frequently asked questions
Do the ramps work with any fingerboard?
Yes. A Tech Deck, a Bollie or a Blackriver all roll on the same obstacles. With a wooden fingerboard and bearing wheels, tricks come out more controlled.
What are they made of?
Blackriver Ramps modules are made of wood and the Ironrails of iron, with a gold or silver finish.
How many obstacles do I need to start?
Two or three are plenty: a manual pad, a rail and a ledge. Rather than collecting more, it pays to practise each trick properly on what you have.
Square or round rail?
It is mostly a matter of taste: it changes the feel as you lock in and slide. The square profile is the classic fingerboard rail and the one you see most often at spots.
Are ramps a good gift for someone who already has a fingerboard?
Yes: a new obstacle changes the tricks that can be practised. There are more ideas in the gift guide.
