When the skateboarder is at the highest point of either side of the ramp, he has the highest potential energy. At the lowest point aka the middle point of the graph, it has the highest kinetic energy. When the skateboarder is on the section between the highest point and middle/lowest point on either side, it has an equal amount of kinetic energy compared to potential energy.
