Mini-MegaRamp to debut in Europe

The brainchild of Danny Way, the MegaRamp structure was first unveiled in The DC Shoes Video in 2004 and at the X Games' Skateboard Big Air that same year. The X Games first held a BMX MegaRamp contest in 2006.

"Our goal is to keep freestyle.ch original and innovative," says Erwin Flury, head of event at freestyle.ch. "By launching a European premiere in the skateboarding and BMX category we are doing just that through our collaboration with the American event developers MegaRamp Productions."

The smaller version of a full-scale MegaRamp structure will be installed at Zurich's Landiwiese Park for the debut, which will include a skate contest and a BMX demo.

Skateboarders Andy McDonald, Jake Brown, Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Sandro Dias and Adam Taylor have all committed to competing in the event. BMX athletes Vince Byron and Morgan Wade will be competing in a multi-discipline crossover event as well as riding in the BMX demo on Saturday afternoon.

"I am super excited to have mini-MegaRamp coming to freestyle.ch," said Adam Taylor, who took silver in Skateboard Big Air at X Games 17 in July. "It's my favorite ramp to skate and it's now at my favorite event in Europe. It's going to be an amazing contest this year."
