Whether you're riding a skateboard or a bmx bike, both of these ramps will get you major air. But each ramp has a different style to their design and will provide a different jumping experience. 

• Which one you prefer will be based purely on your personal tastes. 

We hope to make it a bit clearer here in this informative article...

SKATEBOARD LAUNCH RAMP: The launch ramp is great for both skateboarding and BMX biking because it gives maximum lift for mega air.  The curved surface is designed to "launch" the rider higher than the wedge ramp, but not quite as far. This style of ramp is typically preferred by the bmx bikers because it gives them a lot of air and a better opportunity to perform a trick.  Some boarders say that they feel less control of their board than with the wedge ramp because of this launch type of feel.

SKATEBOARD WEDGE RAMP:  The wedge ramp is also great for boarders and bikers, but preferred more by the skateboarders for it's flat even surface, along with the transition piece from ground to ramp for a super smooth mount.  The launch ramp is a fairly simple transition for most boarders, but nothing compared to the wedge ramp.  This ramp is 20 pounds heavier, straight and gives the skateboarders a stronger sense of control when taking off.  This design is better for distance than height, the opposite of the launch ramp.
