Tricks

            A lot of vert tricks are mainly the same as street, but the skater performs these tricks on a ramp, curb, rails, and piples. These tricks tend to be a little harder the objects are not small and not easy to menuver on. 

Things to perform tricks on

Vert skaters perform their tricks on curbs, railings, ramps, and pipes. To do this one must be capable of good balalnce to hold the trick. Another important key is confidence, without it you will fail. While these objects tend to be more harder to perform a trick on, with confidence and experience it can be done. 

Companies

Companies that apply to street skating also apply to vert. some other companies are baker, plan b, zero, and blind. Companies both make and sell all boards, street or vert. these companies also make clothing items as well, and also sell individual parts to build or customize your own skateboard.

Best vert skater

Danny way is the best vert skater. Riding for powell peralta in the late 1980’s, he featured with chet Thomas in his short segment in the powell video “public domain”. Soon after that, danny way left to join another company, H-Street. After joining H-Street, danny way took the style of vert skateboarding to unimanginable levels.

Origin

There is no definitive origin or inventor of the skateboard meant for vert purposes. One has proposed that an origin of skating is that skateboards arose in the 1940’s and 1950’s. another suggests that a skateboard was created from the adaptation of a single rollerskate taken apart and nailed to a 2X4. 

Future of vert skating

I see the future of vert skateboarding in the next 20-30 years as being right behind street. Some people prefer street over vert, but others do not. Its inexplainable which style will be ahead in the next 2-3 decades, but I highly doubt that the style of vert will “fall out”.
