Abstract
A cycling and skating ramp trailer comprises a first trailer portion attachable to a tow vehicle, and a second trailer portion releasably fixed to the first trailer portion. Upper ramps are formed on each of the trailer portions, and lower ramps are pivotally attached to each of the upper ramps. Upon reaching the exhibition site, the second trailer portion is released from the first trailer portion, and positioned such that the upper ramps are substantially opposed. Then, the lower ramps are deployed, and flat sections may be added therebetween, forming a half-pipe ramp. The ramp is easily transportable to the site, and rapidly erectable for use in cycling and skating exhibitions.
