Last weekend, we got to host our first event in over 8 months... man it was a long wait, but it was awesome to be back.  The Breaking Out of Lockdown Jam was all about bringing the RampFest Community back together for a night so good times - and all the classic mini-comps made an appearance.

Check out our Jam Video, Photo Album, and this awesome article from the guys at www.LiveBreatheRide.com

School Term is about to kick off again, and we're excited to be getting started with another 8-week coaching program for Skate, Scooter and BMX!

At the end of this Term, we're planning to launch our first RampFest Progression Session too - this will be a new type of event that is all about achieving personal goals - not about competing with others.  But more on this soon... 

For now, we want to introduce our Coaches for Term 1 of Ramp School:

If you're into Freestyle BMX, there is a good chance you've heard that it's making its Olympic Games debut in Tokyo 2020.  This is pretty massive news for the sport - and for the athletes involved.  The Olympics is the pinnacle of global sport - it's the largest sporting event in the world by a country mile - and now, alongside international sporting icons, we'll have Freestyle BMX Riders competing.  

A common question we get asked at our coaching clinics is "why aren't we learning more tricks".  Over the years, I've focused more and more on the core, basic skills in coaching programs - and the more we develop these, the more I've found that young riders can learn tricks faster and safer down the line. 

Regularly, this means pulling people back from trying something - and saying "slow down, you're not there yet".  This is now what our entire coaching method at Rampfest is built around.

If you've been to Rampfest anytime in the last 6-months, you might have heard the rumours about a major park update flying around... Well, we're pleased to let you know that they aren't just rumours!  In the last week, we've started our biggest ever park update - spearheaded by our mate Jason Watts.

The upgrade is going to give the park new lines, new options and make it easier to ride for more people at once.  We've been hearing a lot of people asking what exactly we're building, so we thought we'd give you a quick run down.

Australian (Adelaide) rider owned and innovated extreme sports protection company  Gain Protection just had a full drop of new stock hit our shelves. When it comes to keeping your body protected and on par when out in the park these guys are the ones leading the field. Delivering comfort & functionality in one product is no easy feat.

Check out the full article to find out why you should use Gain Protection.

We’re super excited to have what is shaping up to be some what of a game changer in the world of transition riding. The brainchild of UK ramp riding legend Bas Keep who has pushed the boundaries of transition riding himself well and truly with his Red Bull project  ‘Walls’

“ Tall Order frames and parts will be engineered specifically to be ridden at the highest level on transitions of all types & sizes “ - Bas Keep

Check out the Results from the Rampfest BMX International C1-Contest.  Brandon Loupos took out the Win, Boyd Hilder came 2nd, and Jason Watts was in 3rd place.

We're proud to announce that we've partnered with Cycling Australia to host the inaugural Freestyle BMX Nationals on the 24-25th of November! 

With Freestyle BMX winning an inclusion into the Olympic Games from 2020, more and more major competitions have been springing up globally.  Our Aussie riders have been extremely successful internationally, and we wanted to give them a chance to compete on home soil!
