Sometimes you'll see stories written like "x meters (yards)" as if meters and 
yards are interchangeable.  This may be the case here.

Check it.  Use of meters for ramp sizes and even Tony Hawk's

See AP?  That wasn't so hard was it?   Better than "the bunker found in 
Iraq is bigger than 7 football fields."
Uhh...
