Dude,

Ramp skating setups...

Deck.

Longer the better! Longer Wheel base (distance between trucks) gives you more power to get highter and a steadier ride.

Wheels.

Bigger wheels get you higher on ramps because they're faster!
Small wheels giver better pop and bounce off the coping better.
I've discovered 57mm are a perfect combination of bigger and poppable. 57mm won't give you any shit on the streets either.

Trucks.

Fury or Independent. Don't fuck about with any other shit. I'm on Furys now but used to ride indy - indys are slightly heavier and I found the heavier my setup the higher I could blast airs on vert.
However, a heavy board really sucks for street skating. As I fucked my body up too many times I ride more street than vert now.

Secret Hidden levels.

Fast Grind are the key to getting speed for better stunts. Extra life at 10,000.
