Lil Wayne has taken his own personal skate ramp on tour with him so he can practice his new favourite hobby.

The Lollipop hitmaker is such a fan of the sport he has reportedly hired a professional skater to teach him tricks.

And Wayne, real name Dwayne Carter, Jr., has packed a portable quarter pipe and ramp into a trailer, which will follow him on tour.

Editors at TMZ.com report Wayne often pulls over during his travels to practice his board skills - and last month (Aug11) he received nine stitches to a head wound after an accident at a skate park during a stop in St. Louis, Missouri.
