One
Skateboarder’s
Dream...
American Ramp Company is the result of one
skateboarder’s dream to do what he loves. In
1998 our founder Nathan Bemo had a vision
to create public spaces for skaters to belong
and to stretch their abilities to new levels. In
the beginning, skateparks were found in only
a few places across the country and extremely
difficult to create and maintain for the typical
town or city. American Ramp Company, with
our team of skaters and bmx riders, has led the
way to making skateparks a possibility for all
communities. Today you will find skateparks of
all shapes and sizes as a staple of many public
spaces around the world. Products, services
and employees have grown and changed, but
our vision has never wavered.
After becoming the world’s premier skatepark
provider, we’ve taken our passion to another
section of action sports: bike parks. Many
communities were struggling to find ways to
create sustainable bike parks and trails so
we began to create solutions to meet their
needs. Much like the success we have had
in skatepark development, ARC is now one
of the leading providers of sustainable bike
parks, pumptracks, bike playgrounds, and trail
features.
We pride ourselves in having a wide variety of
options to meet the needs of any community.
The combination of those options creates
some of the most unique spaces in the world
and provides a way to bring more people
together. We look forward to working with your
community soon!

EXPERIENCE
PRO SKATER
WILLY SANTOS
American Ramp Company is always seeking to integrate new ideas in response to current skateboarding culture around the world. Recently ARC joined forces with a group of professional skateboarders to design and create new and unique skate features.
Shortly after we introduced these features as our PRO OPS Series.
Every PRO OPS feature bears the signature of its respective pro skater/designer making each and every one of them a truly unique addition to any skatepark!

ARC will work with you to help analyze potential site locations keeping in mind all factors involved including cost, safety, environmental impacts, topography, and aesthetic appeal.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our team’s design philosophy is to create a user-friendly facility that applies to various skill levels and is exciting to the users. In order to do this, we want to meet with your community to share options and ultimately create a design in response to their feedback.

MODULAR PUMPTRACKS
The Lumberjack Series has a substructure made from a marine-grade lumber and is topped with our UltraGrip composite surface which provides traction regardless of what Mother Nature throws at you. Because of the modular design, Lumberjack pumptracks can easily be rearranged or added to at any time. The Lumberjack series is ideal for indoor settings, mobile setups, resorts, and bike shops and is easily stored, set up, and transported.
A pumptrack is a course that is ridden by pumping with your arms and legs to propel yourself around the track rather than pedaling or pushing. With their hard grip surface, they are great for skaters, scooters, roller blades, and bikes bringing more riders together in one place. Gone are the days of costly maintenance and continual reshaping of traditional dirt tracks. These tracks are a solution for any community and go great next to your skatepark, bike park or as a stand-alone feature. 16 17
PRE-CAST PUMPTRACKS
The Mason Series is constructed with high strength precast concrete. We manufacture these structures using precision molds that give you a perfect shape and riding surface. Each piece is the exact same size and shape as the Lumberjack and Blacksmith Series, meaning you get the same amazing ride in a more permanent aesthetically pleasing manner. The Mason Series can be used for repurposing a tennis court, parking lot or any other pad, or it can be placed as a standalone feature with added landscaping. While it is more difficult, the Mason Series can be added to or reconfigured at a later date. The Mason Series is perfect for any municipality or resort that is looking for a worry free progressive biking structure. 18 SAMPLE

ASPHALT PUMPTRACKS
If you are looking for the sustainability of a modular or concrete pumptrack, without sacrificing the versatility and customization, then this is the build method you are looking for. The Velosolutions Asphalt Pumptrack team has mastered the art of bending and shaping the asphalt to the right dimension and radius for a proper hard surface pumptrack. Every pumptrack is designed differently and constructed on site insuring that every pumptrack is unique to the town it is constructed in. 20 SAMPLE

BIKE PARKS
Bicycle recreation is one of the fastest growing
segments of outdoor recreation today. With more
people riding bikes every day, the demand for fun,
safe, and sustainable bike areas has never been
higher! Our bike parks are engineered using similar
technology to our skateparks and are constructed
to provide the best possible ride while being easy
to maintain. With our virtually endless feature list,
our designers can create a park that’s designed for
a wide range of skill levels and perfect for your site.
Tamper Resistant Fasteners:
The framework is put together
with tamper resistant fasteners.
All hardware is stainless steel, to
ensure against corrosion.
Riding Surface:
True dimension 2”x6”
eastern red cedar is our
standard riding surface.
It bolts from underneath
eliminating fasteners
from the riding surface.
Composite upgrade is
available with a bolt
through pattern.
Powder Coat:
All steel is powered coated to maximize
the life of the steel. The powder coat
comes standard in black, but colors
can be customized as an upgrade.
Laser-cut Framework:
Galvanneal steel is cut on
our laser table to ensure
the accuracy of every piece
that we manufacture.
Spacing Tabs:
Because we laser-cut our steel we are able
to add board spacing tabs. This helps us to
locate the proper spacing and install riding
surface accurately and efficiently.

A lifetime of riding and recreation
starts with Bicycle Playgrounds.
These parks combine the concept
of a traditional playground with a
bike park. They provide a fun, safe,
and structured place for learning to
ride and developing skills, strength,
and balance on a bike. Make
your next playground a bicycle
playground!
