| This is my first review, hope you like it. Ok to start off i first want to say that the y garden cost me 110 usd in total to get to me in NYC. It took 10 days to get here but it was worth the wait. Its 20cm wide, 30cm long, and 5cm high. Its pretty heavy due to the concrete. Its made of concrete and has a super smooth finish but it has a little chalky feel. One thing that could be a little better is the transition from the surface to the ramp. It does not make too much of a difference but there is a bump before you get onto the banks as you roll in. It is beautiful looking with synthetic grass in the middle. It creates a great affect of a planter but when i go to pick up the ramp i take out the grass to carry it and 2 buds popped off of the grass so you have to really dig your fingers in there to take it out with out breaking the grass. The height of the banks are just right and have two options of approaching the ramp, using it as a quarter pipe or grinding across. Theres a lot to do and a seriously fun ramp. it is about 4 decks long compared to my yellowood z2. I would 100% recommend this ramp to buy. There is nothing like it on the market today but is pricy. CRAFTSMANSHIP-9.5 CONS- slight bump on the transition, chalky feel, heavy -still amazing ramp not many cons to think of. IDEA-10 its the only planter with banks on the market and its super fun. PRICE-5 pretty expensive if you are saving up to buy a ramp it should be this one. Its the shipping that makes it expensive because its heavy concrete. OVERALL-9.5 its an amazing ramp so go buy it.

| Nice review man This is such a sick ramp, but I think I'll make my own soon, that grass can be bought from the £1store and the concrete shouldn't be much more expensive! |

| The obstacle itself isn't expensive, it's the shipping. |

| what thom said, plus the fact that almost anything can be made by hand. good luck getting it to have tiny awesome Y engravings in the brick patterns. shipping sucks on a lot of things, but this looks boss if you ask me |

| lol is it seriously 110? The original price is 30 euros which is maybe like 40 bucks or something?
Lol. 70 dollar shipping. Dood You can ship that from america to the uk for like 15 bucks. But I'm not sure on where yellowood's based off. If you got it overnight ok ok then 70 dollars would be legit but since it took 10 days? 0.o
good obstacle I guess though! |

| I challenge anyone to make a concrete obstacle of such precision and weight and send it via airmail for less than $50, seriously. |
