Questions about Wedge Bump Skate Ramp
How does the Wedge Bump differ from the GB Kicker?
The Wedge Bump stands 12 inches high and is 38 inches wide, creating a broader compact launch. The GB Kicker is nine inches high and 19 inches wide to match a Grind Box. Choose the Wedge for general connections and the GB for that specific pairing.
Who should choose a Wedge Bump instead of a full Bank Ramp?
Choose the Wedge Bump when a compact four-foot connector can link gaps, rails, or boxes and the layout needs to stay flexible. Choose the eight-foot-wide Bank when a broad, substantial bank face should anchor a dedicated spot as opposed to move around it.
How does the Wedge Bump compare with Jordan Hoffart's Speed Bump?
The Wedge Bump is a compact four-foot takeoff and connector. The Speed Bump is a broader eight-foot signed feature intended to carry more of the route. Choose the Wedge for flexibility and the Speed Bump when the larger shape deserves a settled role.
How does the Wedge Bump Skate Ramp compare with Launch WR?
The Wedge Bump provides one straightforward 12-inch takeoff in a compact four-foot body. Launch WR stands 15 inches high and combines a launch face with a wallie face. Choose the Wedge when one flexible connector solves the route; choose Launch WR when both distinct faces will be used.

The internet has all sorts of terrible ideas as to how to quiet or dampen the sound of your skateboard ramp - in particular the mini ramps (or halfpipes).
You may read about wives tales on using insulation, filling the coping with whatever, or add pillows and blankets behind the ramp. We are here to clear the air….that is all nonsense.
There are really only 2 suggestions to help quiet your mini ramp.
- You can close up the back of your skateboard ramp with ¾” thick plywood. This will eliminate the hollow sound significantly. Again, don’t read into the bogus information about filling in that empty space before you close it up with plywood. It doesn’t work. Simply closing up the backend will help with the noise. Some customers will get creative with it- we’ve seen several put hinges on the backend - making a custom door for storage, etc. That is entirely optional to make use of the space. But in terms of noise levels, close it up.
- Also using a softer gel wheel is helpful to give you the incognito vibe your neighbors won’t complain about while shredding your skateboard ramp. Generally the harder the wheel, the louder they hear ya coming! Many skaters have multiple skateboards with a different set of wheels, most prefer the harder wheels during normal street skating use & then at night we switch over to the gel softer wheels so your neighbor’s can get their precious sleep & you can shred your heart out! Not every skater likes riding a gel wheel. There are many pros/cons. For this conversation, the biggest pro for having a softer wheel is the reduced noise factor. If you have neighbors that are goin to be a narc, just throw on the soft wheels!
