Curently located in the Ramp Ranch are two Quarter pipes which face each othe: about 40-50 feet apart. These ramps are ideal for BMX'ers although not too great for skaters, but don't stop reading here because also located at the Ramp Ranch is !'.»/^ a huge halfpipe. When this wharehouse was discovered a group of skaters and a few BMX'ers got together and built the largest ramp in Calgary's history, heres the specs: ^"'fe;''?

The superlative production of Martin Sirch (who also produce the three previous albums) also adds a new dimension to the Maiden sound. With the band at la having a settled line-up, which has played on two consecutive LPs for the first time, the musiciai ship attains new heights. The lyrical depth of Powerslave, especially on tracks such as "T'A Minutes To Midnight" and the awe-inspiring 15-minute classic "Rime Of the Ancient Mariner has also reached a maturity rarely attained in heavy rock.
