Yeah, its the same ramp.  Invert, Swatch and several others.  Also seen at a few early Backyard Jams too.  Always owned by Peter Noble (Team Extreme), I believe that vert god Mike Mullen is now co-owner or partner or summat like that.

Never ridden it myself, but I've been told its was always lacking a bit of vert.

Stood the test of time though - must be on its way to its 20th birthday by now....

Haven't got a clue.....  Last one I saw of their own was one that Crowhurst Dennis made which was steel framed.  And held together with ratchet straps as I recall!!    ;D
