Oververt...
This sort of manoeuvre on a normal ramp is quite difficult at the best of times. Colin here is doing a frontside air on the oververt section of Edinburgh's skatepark.
Normal bigger ramps go up to vert which as it sounds, is the top section of the ramp where the surface is vertical. This ramp at around 12 foot at it's top, curves up past vertical where if you imagine throwing a ball up it, it would come back out the top in the direction it went in at. This motion also throws a skateboarder in that same sort of outward direction that needs to be counteracted by a sort of upside down float across the ramp.
He makes it look way too easy.
