Between a rail and a ramp, with Mark Appleyard's shape
Mark Appleyard's Triangle Apple brings a different shape to grind-and-slide sessions: a six-foot plywood triangle with galvanized coping along its top ridge. The low, wide body gives you more to work around than a narrow rail. Build the kit for your home spot, then explore how its shape fits the lines you like to skate.
Explore more shape than a narrow bar
Galvanized coping runs along the triangle's top ridge, with a banked wooden body beneath it. That combination makes Triangle Apple a distinct addition alongside a flat bar or ledge. Use the shape to vary your approach and bring something different to your usual grind-and-slide session.
Fit the low, wide profile into the line
Triangle Apple is six feet long, two feet wide and one foot high. That width makes it a different placement decision from a narrow rail, while the 60-pound weight matters when you plan to move it. Our Space and Fit guide helps you consider the approach and roll-away as well as the obstacle itself.
Build the design without sourcing every piece
The kit includes pre-cut and pre-drilled boards, galvanized metal parts, counted screws and photo instructions. You get the pieces needed to build Mark Appleyard's design without drawing up a materials list or cutting every board yourself. Follow the supplied sequence as the triangle and coping come together.
Choose paint for the exposed plywood
Choose the one-quart Skate Paint option when you want a coating for the exposed plywood. Keep it on the wooden body, with the galvanized coping left as its own working surface. Our Ramp Care guide helps you prepare the wood and plan upkeep before the obstacle joins your regular sessions.
Give the next session a trick to work on
Bring a boardslide or 50-50 to the Triangle Apple, then work on repeating it along the coping. The six-foot length gives that practice a defined target. Build the session around a trick you want to revisit, with the triangular body adding a different shape to your usual rail setup.

Questions about Triangle Apple Skate Rail
How does the Triangle Apple differ from a flat skate rail?
Its plywood triangle sits beneath galvanized coping, creating a wider 24-inch obstacle with rail-and-ramp character. A flat rail keeps the working surface on a narrower bar. Choose Triangle Apple when the triangular body, not just a coping edge, is the desired feature.
How does Triangle Apple compare with the Dave Bachinsky Crescent Ledge?
Triangle Apple is a six-foot plywood triangle wrapped in coping, creating a low rail-and-bank form. The Crescent is a ten-foot curved ledge that changes from a 9-inch low end to a 14-inch high end. Choose the compact triangular body or the long changing-height edge based on the movement the rider wants.
When should I compare Triangle Apple with Bump to Rail?
Compare them when the rider wants coping plus a shaped plywood body. Triangle Apple centers a six-foot triangle wrapped in coping, while Bump to Rail fixes a bump to a raised red rail. Choose the movement and route that the complete obstacle should create.
What tricks can riders practice on the Triangle Apple Skate Rail?
Use the Triangle Apple Skate Rail for rail tricks such as boardslides and 50-50 grinds, then progress to more technical slides and grinds as control improves. Keep a straight, clear approach and exit that match the rail's height and length.
Can I return the Triangle Apple Skate Rail if it is not the right fit?

What to Expect
We have two teams working around the clock to mass produce the beloved kits that are in high demand, after all we service ALL skaters worldwide! The fabrication time in our warehouse starts when you place the order as the information prints out directly to our team to start production. After the kit is created, the next process is actual transit time. We work with several carriers for a variety of our products to help cut down on transit times and delays.
Our Quarter Pipe kits (4ft wide Quarter Pipe & larger), Half Pipes, and sheets of GatorSkins or Skatelite Pro all ship on a double size pallet (4ft wide x 8ft long) via freight carrier. As the double sized pallet leaves our warehouse, the freight carrier will then begin the transit process to get your order over to your local delivery terminal. As your shipment arrives in your local area, the freight carrier will have an appointment setter call you directly to schedule an appointment for delivery. Just like when you book an appointment with the cable company, you will be given a 4 – 8-hour window of delivery.
The freight driver will then arrive at your residential delivery address on the day of your scheduled appointment. Please note that this will be a curbside delivery. The driver will not be able to pull into your driveway or any other requested area on your property. You will want to be sure to have 2 – 3 able-bodied adults, in total, at your place of residence during the delivery window to assist with the unloading of this pallet. Provided the size and weight of these shipments, a liftgate is not permitted and drivers are unable to assist with any of the hand unloading process. The pallet is easy to breakdown to execute a hand unloading process with yourself and a few additional helping hands.
The entire unloading process may seem daunting however it is a fairly simple process that can be executed within 10 – 20 minutes! Please keep in mind that delays may occur with the delivery. We understand that this can be frustrating. If you experience a missed appointment, please reach out to us and our team is happy to help.
If you notice any damages or issues with the order upon receiving, please proceed with accepting the shipment, but notate on the delivery receipt by stating “DAMAGE” when signing the delivery receipt. You do not need to itemize any material which was damaged when accepting the shipment. Once your shipment has been unloaded and signed, please email our team directly with the damage(s), proof of signed delivery receipt which has been notated as damaged along with full length pictures of the material which was damaged. We will work on resolving the issue immediately.

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!
