This 90-foot snowboarding ramp is the largest ever built for a special event in the New York City parks. It was built by a sporting events company called Aura360 and financed by Red Bull, the Austria-based energy drink maker known for its marketing around extreme sports.
The 90-foot ramp was a centerpiece of the Parks Department’s Winter Jam NYC, a two-day event that took place on february 5th and 7th.
The ramp iwas built by Frank Wells and Mike Bettera of Snow Park Technology. The Parks Department says it “allows riders multiple angles of trajectory — frontside or backside, landing on either the right or left side of the massive 45-degree spine.
Additionally, the ramp design allowed spectators to get up close and personal, giving fans an opportunity to experience the action first hand as the riders spin roughly four stories into the sky.”
