Split Ramp

From Burnopedia, the Burnout wiki

Split Ramps are ramps that have one side raised at a visibly steeper angle than the other. This type of ramp is designed to allow a car to pull of a Barrel Roll. These ramps can also be used to gain additional Air Time by driving the car directly towards the center of the raised portion.

[edit] Stunt Run Uses

In Stunt Run, the player can use these ramps for any of the multipliers that are gained through the air: Air Time, Barrel Rolls, or Flat Spins. The most prominent of these three stunts is the Barrel Roll, which gives the player +2 multiplier. They are what the Split Ramps are mainly designed for. To perform a Barrel Roll, the player must drive his/her car towards the Ramp and jump off the ramp at some point between the elevated and lower part of the ramp. The difference in elevation of the ramp as the car is flying will cause the car to go into a Barrel Roll. If the player can stay in the air long enough for the Barrel Roll to complete or simply flip over in the air fast enough, the Barrel Roll can be successfully performed. If it lands poorly such as landing sideways or even landing upside down (if the car goes very high enough) the Barrel Roll doesn't count as the car becomes wrecked. Some of the lighter or faster stunt cars can do double Barrel Rolls off of a split ramp (even the non-elevated ramps, such as the ones at the Air Field) Another use for Split Ramps is that if the player drives towards the ramp and centers the car on the elevated portion, the car can stay in the air for a pretty long time without being in danger of an incomplete Barrel Roll.

[edit] Other Event Uses

Like the other types of Ramps, the Split Ramp can also be used during other events to perform vertical takedowns on opponents. However, Split Ramps are not as useful as the others in this field because the lower portion of the ramp does not raise the car high enough and the elevated portion may put the player in danger of an incomplete (and for the most part unnecessary) Barrel Roll. They are most useful if the player drives directly at the center of the raised portion, but this is usually impractical at such high speeds.
