The largest permanent skateboard ramp is situated at the farm home of professional skateboarder Bob Burnquist near San Diego, USA. Constructed in 2006, the "mega ramp" is 110 m (360 ft) long and 23 m (75 ft) high, and consists of a 55-m-long (180-ft) launch section, 21-m (70-ft) gap, 8.5-m (27-ft) slope section and a final 9-m (30-ft) quarterpipe. Reaching speeds of 55 mph (88 km/h), skateboarders can shoot a further 6 m (20 ft) or more above the top of this quarterpipe. The ramp cost US$280,000 to construct, and, in order to bypass local planning laws, is officially designated as an agricultural building.
