Vertramp Amsterdam
There are few Dutch skatespots that have as much history as the Amsterdamse brug... since 1988 this underpass was the location of the legendary Bridgeramp. After the phenomenal first ramp burned to the ground two less than ideal ramps were built in it's place. When the latest of these two ramps starting falling apart the city of Amsterdam researched how to make sure the new ramp would be the best ramp possible. Many locals from all disciplines were involved to discuss design and G Ramps from Germany were chosen to build the ramp. To make sure this ramp would skate solid as a rock Concrete Matters has built the foundation of the vertramp, a 30 cm thick concrete foundation with double 8 mm rebar and a 1% incline from it's center to make sure water runs off to both sides.
Oedelem skatepark Belgium
At the end of 2021 we built our last park of the year in the city of Oedelem, Belgium.
The locals wanted a bank to bank set-up combined with a quarterpipe and a bank/hip combo which we integrated into the final design making Oedelem a compact yet diverse & unique little streetpark.
To optimize available funds we built directly upon the existing asphalt. To minimize our impact upon the environment we used second generation backfill materials for the different levels of the skatepark.
