How do I get ramps for my indoor skatepark?

You’ve got two options for getting ramps for your indoor skatepark; build or buy (meaning you pay someone else to build them for you). Unless you absolutely know what you’re doing when it comes to building skateboard ramps (and you would know if you did) I’d recommend paying someone else who has the experience.

Unless you have a very small park, you’re going to be looking at spending a good $50-75K on ramps (including labor) if you buy them, and you could spend quite a bit more. You might think you’ll save a lot of money building the ramps yourself, and hey, how hard could it be? But bear in mind you’re lying to yourself. Building an indoor skatepark takes a lot of time, especially if you’re not an expert. If it takes you four months to do what a professional team can do in two weeks, you may have just blown through an extra three months of rent and now you’re not saving any money. Plus you might mess up the ramps, and as a result the kids won’t like them and so you’ve only got half the customers coming in that you would otherwise have. So trust me, unless you absolutely know what you’re doing go and pay someone else to build those ramps for you. And don’t just pay the 18-year old kid who built a halfpipe in his backyard once and who has some “cool ideas”, I mean really hire a professional company, like Team Payne.

Another way to find out who to hire is to find out who built some of the private indoor parks that are in videos so much these days. Unfortunately I don’t know exactly who built the Berrics, or the Blackbox skatepark, or any of the others, but I bet someone else does and will comment on this post.

    Here’s an article from Transworld that’s a few years old talking about the skateparks that the skate companies have now. Brent Kronmueller seems to be the man when it comes to building indoor skateparks.
