What is Street, Vert and Transition?
These are the three different disciplines of skating. Here is a quick description of each below: • Street: This is essentially flat ground skating and can include obstacles such as handrails, hubbas, manny pads, stair sets and ledges. • Transition: This is an amalgamation of street and vert. This will include the obstacles above such as rails, stairs, ledges etc. However, it will also include things that add vertically to the park such as quarter pipes, kickers, banks etc. • Vert: This is 100% ramps. This usually takes place on a very steep half-pipe and the aim of the game is to pump, gain speed and perform tricks using only the ramp in question. It’s all about getting air, doing stalls and grinds.
