Vertramp, Amsterdamse brug

Vertramp, Amsterdamse brug

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.…continue reading →

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.continue reading →

Beatrixpark, Amsterdam

This one-of-a-kind play structure was designed to be built entirely of concrete. Back in november 2015 we worked on this project alongside various other concrete artists. Shotcrete was the only option to be able to create these three concave, convex & oververtical shapes. The two bowls and floating concrete  ring are interconnected with a doorway giving access to an intriguing, unique looking building. This was a challenging build to say the least but through persistence, expertise & teamwork we were able to pull it off. Once this object was built and the concrete…continue reading →

Albertpark bowls, Kortrijk

When the Kortrijk bowl was built in the south of Belgium it was truly groundbreaking: never before had such an exceptional bowl been built on European soil! TeamPain (USA) designed and built this wonderful bowl in 2004 and upon opening the Kortrijk bowl was host to many international skateboard en BMX events. In the thirteen years since it's conception the surface of the concrete had deteriorated so much that not merely visiting skaters but even the locals were starting to complain about it's rough texture. Two stress cracks were starting to chip at the hips…continue reading →
