The funbox is a contraption composed of one to two or more ramps (usually made of wood or metal) leading to a level plane.
Funboxes originated from skateboarding, and are now used in skateboarding, snowboarding, bmxing, and other sports where "air" is gained. The purpose of the funbox is similar to other ramps used in board sports; to propel the boarder through the air, where tricks may be performed. However, regular ramps only allow the boarder to approach it in one direction, whereas some funboxes obviously allow boarders to approach it from many directions. The plateaued or "box" portion of the funbox can have a rail or ledge connected to it.
A variation on the funbox is the battleship box.
