    Kids (6&8) have started learning to skate - and me re-learning to skate. Considering getting one of these 8ft wide bad boys.

    We live in Edinburgh in a conservation area so there's no danger I'd get planning permission for a permanent/semi-permanent ramp in my garden. Plus the resonant noise from a wood construction would drive neighbours daft and I'd get the law/council on me telling me to dismantle it.

    I think an inflatable ramp is the answer! Can be erected in half an hour. Doesn't seem too loud from the review video - certainly no louder than my kids screaming on the trampoline or neighbours kids kicking a ball against a wall for hours on end.

    Done some digging and the prices that UK/US companies are charging for these is 2 to 4 times what they can be bought from the same manufacturer for in China and imported directly.
