With the Freestyle BMX Nationals coming up, we've been hearing a lot of talk about Competitions lately - about what's good about them, what isn't and why people don't want to compete.  

This article isn't about why everyone should enter comps, but we do want to share what makes them fun, and help out anyone who might be a bit nervous about giving it a crack first time.

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

Here we go - RampFest is BACK!  We're reopening on the 9th of November and we're super excited to get back to shredding the park - and we hope you all are too.

It seems like Lockdown 2.0 just dragged on and on... but we made it.  And like we said from the start, we weren't going anywhere.  Another massive THANK YOU has to go out to all our customers, friends, fellow riders and fans - we've had so many rad messages over the last few months and we can't wait to see you all back in the park.  We're constantly blown away by the support you show for what RampFest does. 

So let's get cracking - whats new, what's changed and how do I visit RampFest ASAP???

I'm sure everyone has heard the news - and yes, RampFest is very much included in the closures. We will be shut, effective immediately, until further notice. This is a pretty tough day all round and this decision is obviously going to hit everyone pretty hard.

Please spare a thought in particular for our amazing staff team - who bring energy, passion and commitment to making RampFest what it is every single day.

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.  

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!
