This roll in is a great place for riders to learn how to enter and deal with the speed and banked turns of big vert.

The back side of the Brenda Joy Skatepark features a short but steep horseshoe shaped bowl/banked turn surrounded in coping. But there are also smooth transitions up and around this obstacle to avoid the turn.
