The snowpark in the ski resort Moléson was supplemented with an Easyrail by Vertical. The rail is 6 meters long and 0.8 meters high and is located at the entrance of the Snowpark. The massive steel structure has a slide surface of HPL and is 30 cm wide. The Easy Rail was inaugurated at the «Nom de Jib» contest on February 5th under ideal snow and weather conditions. The riders were thrilled and have tried to outdo one another with daring tricks.

The snow park is located next to the runway «Gros-Plané» and is located below the north face of the Moléson Mountain. The park with rails, kickers and tubes covers an area of 1200 m2. The ski area is connected to the town of Gruyères and the summit at 2000 meters is offering a fantastic view over the entire Alps region and the Lake of Geneva.

Since some days Basel and Schaffhausen are not only connected through the international cycle route along the Rhine, upriver to the most powerful waterfall in Europe. The city on the Rhine now also has a skate park with a mini ramp and street obstacles for skateboarders.

The 24th of August 2011 was the day of ignition. The town of Schaffhausen gave Vertical Technik Ltd from Frenkendorf the order to produce new skateboarding facilities and to assemble them in a workshop with the young people. In collaboration with Stefan Brülisauer a concept was worked out which contained customer-specific systems that are tailored to the needs of the users. Among some street modules a 1 m high mini ramp with maintenance free HPL riding surface was installed. A 1.5 m high bank, a rail slide bar, a manual pad and two different stone ledges made of Nero Assoluto granite stone were also installed under the bridge.

Now there is a small and exquisite public skate park right on the banks of the Rhine, at the Mühlenstrasse in 8200 Schaffhausen, under access road to the freeway E41. Many thanks go to Mr. Bruderhofer and the employees of the city for their active support and cooperation, the investment of Stefan Brülisauer of the Interest Group N4 Schaffhausen for its preparatory planning work, the help of about 12 young skaters, the Work4Donuts Skateshop from Schaffhausen and the help of Roman Jeker for the management of the Workshops and the assembly.

The existing skate park did not meet the requirements of the skaters anymore. Vertical Technik Ltd. has been asked to make a rideable space of this small skatepark. Small changes to the site and new facilities have been implemented. A line with a quarterpipe, a pandora box with ledge, a bank, as well as a wheelie table and rail slide bar have been installed. The existing miniramp was moved by crane to make room. The skatepark is located in a hairpin curve on the main street in the village of Jongny.

The second edition of the summer docks on the peninsula Malraux of the city of Strasbourg was a success! The weather was perfect. The 9 m wide spine mini ramp with extension from Vertical was used by many young people and was very much appreciated. On the program were: Sand, sun umbrellas, deck chairs, entertainment, skate ramp, beach volleyball field and a lot of fun for teenagers, kids and families.

In cooperation with local associations the summer docks offered play areas, sports area and a relaxation area with books and magazines. The program included a science week with the association “les petits débrouillards”, a sports and event week, an artistic weeks with the association “arachnima”, a musical week with the association “sound'sitiv”, one week of "glisse urbaine" with the association “nouvelle ligne”, a game week with the "maison des jeux", a circus week “graine de cirque” and a final week "live on docks" with live concerts.

The assembly was carried out on 20.06.2011 and the opening took place on 6 July 2011. The contract was awarded to Vertical Technik Ltd because the company proposed best equipment for the existing budget. In addition to a 1.7 m high bank and a 1.5 m high quarterpipe a wheelie table and two cast-in Railslides rods were mounted. The central module is a new Pandora box with a flat rail and with a 2.5 m long platform. The installations were enclosed with galvanized steel sheets. The riding surface is maintenance free HPL and perfect for skateboarding, BMX riding and In-Line skating.

The new skate park is located on the sports field in Guemligen (Muri) near Bern. It is administrated through the centre for children and youth affairs www.guemu.ch. The initiative for the renovation was taken in hand from the sports commission Muri. The old ramps were made of concrete elements and did not meet the European normalisation standards and the recommendations of bfu, see http://www.bfu.ch/PDFLib/1182_42.pdf
