Yellowood is a well known fingerboard brand from Portugal. But Philippe and his company is not only known for his decks or the YStore, this brand is known for great obstacles and new product developement.
Today we will have a closer look at one of the new 2018 Yellowood Ramps, the “Central Curb”:

I had a lot of the concrete ramps from Yellowood before and was never disappointed. Concrete is really heavy and there is a high risk to break while shipping. Don´t get me wrong, none of the ramps I got broke while shipping of riding. The central curb is not made from concrete, it´s made from wood. SURPRISE! This new obstacle is the result creation of a long design process from Bug Bolito and Philippe De Goyri with the intention of making a realistic looking street spot. The central curb is a full wood ramp. The bricks are just painted, but look super realistic. Sure we,ve seen a lot of planter curbs in the past, but the overall look of this curb is a 10/10! Because this ramp is made from wood it´s more lightweight. But that doesn´t mean it´s sliding around, there are nonslider on the bottom for sure.
The brush in the middle is removable and includes a little led light for your night sessions and a even more realistic look. Thinking about wood and a fingerboard ramp you always think about grip. Ya all know that feeling of sliding with urethane wheels on a Brr ramp. On this central curb the sliding is totally different. You don´t “feel” that these curbs are made from wood. It´s sliding like butter and the sound is clean. I´ve had a lot fingerboard ramps in my fingerboarding life but never had a surface like this on a wooden ramp.
This ramps is available for 40 Euro only at the Yellowoodstore: Click! This is really cheap for a obstacle of this size and this surface on top.
THANKS a lot Philippe for this continuous support!
