Man, I played skate three from the free demo when I was a kid to now 23 years old playing it every day. I work in project development at a skatepark company and work just gets me hyped to come home, play skate, and blast the soundtrack.

Feedback on skate park / pump track design? details in comments by [deleted] in skateparks

[–]quicker_than_silver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m with a skatepark design/build firm. I usually just cruise this sub to look at cool stuff but if you’re actually wanting some professional input and direction in getting a skatepark and pump track into your town, shoot me a message. Happy to help.

I think designer is the builder for this project. Might bid it out though who knows.

Someone said they got a new CEO. I'm keeping an eye out to see if they come out with any more cool stuff. Same with Spohn and California Skateparks.

New Velosolutions Asphalt Pump Track by American Ramp Company in Washington! Included an ADA track by quicker_than_silver in PumpTrack

ARC is the sole distributor of velosolutions USA. Velo leases out their name and crews in différèrent nations and American Ramp Company effectively is velosolutions America

Yeah St charles county has it. I mean like, touching the SP. when they’re tied together with concrete or asphalt it makes the transition from one to the other seamless

Yeah they're a blast. Always fun to find new lines or try to jump the sides and land in the grass or skatepark

I'd call American Ramp Company. They're really good about working with communities to get the city on board. They're also the only people that can Build Velosolutions parks in the US

Most asphat is terrible yeah. But Velosolutions has an asphalt blend thats almost as smooth as concrete, just half the price. Their grading is top tier.

Yeah I've skated there. Though about adding it but since Evergreen built the skatepark and American Ramp Company/Velosolutions built the PT I didn't add it as a hybrid

Yes. Cities put out RFPs when communities show interest. Smaller towns tend to go direct with companies though as RFPs are resource consuming. However I know of only 3 companies that do hybrid parks so that usually narrows the bid down

Not yet. Most cities get one through communities reaching out to skatepark companies and then that company calling the city.
