haha, i was there and have seen the footy... its actually about 2ft- 2 1/2ft of tranny then straight vert wall.
and you will see it in a while. well worth the wait.
 
actually ive seen twan flair a mini quarter about 1 1/2 ft tall 2 ft at the absolute most
and nick that pyramid is 2 ft cuz that ledge is only like 2.5

i barrel rolled out of a 10 ft vert quarter
only cuz when i flip i wouldnt make it out so barrels i go farther
not small but i guarrentee its a lot harder than flipping something 2 ft tall

at 6:00 twan flips a reallllllly small bank with coping(pretty much) to bank hip super low. this is on his 1st trip to az. some random skater filmed him doing the rail and the flip and put it in their vid haha.

definitely worth watching to see the flip.

nick why is it that you want gino to not be as good as he was
that pyramid was small as fuck maybe the smallest one ever
i havent seen anyone else really flip one either though
gino was a flip king at the time he would try to flip anything
haha i just remembered when he tryed to flip that ridiculously mellow bank at sd2 lol he ate shit so hard lol it was funny as fuck

if you mean the shallow end of the smallest cement bowl, thats decenty small for just starting out. the only thing about stuff like that is coping helps a ton, thats why flipping a small spine with coping is easier than a kicker the same size
