Description
There’s a limited variety of obstacles, but there are some unique obstacles. There’s no proper manual pad, box, or flat rail. Also the stairs have little run-up and may be unusable. However, the manual pad has a slight grade, which is neat. The walls of the miniramp meet with banks to form hips. And there’s a 4’ quarter-to-quarter (like an elongated spine).
