RampFest News

Verve Footwear was started in 2015 by a Brisbane BMX Rider.  It was started with a dream to create an all-Australian Footwear brand, making the best riding shoes for BMX.

This is going to be the final runout sale on the Verve Range, so you can get an awesome, Australian Owned & Designed pair of kicks for the best price ever. 

We've even got a BONUS OFFER:

Firstly, after yesterday's news about new lockdowns across Melbourne, we're stoked to say that we are NOT in one of the lockdown suburbs or postcodes.  

Well, this is the day we've all been waiting for - RampFest is BACK!  We're beyond stoked to say that we'll be reopening to the public on June 23rd.

A massive THANK YOU has to go out to you - our customers, friends, fellow riders and fans.  We're constantly blown away by the support you show for what RampFest does.  Over the last couple of months, we've been getting lots of emails and calls from people asking what they can do to help through this tough time.  We don't want to ask for charity (there are plenty of people doing it tougher than we are), but now we're open, we'd love you all to come down for a ride. 

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.

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:

It was a massive weekend of BMX action at RampFest - with an insane level of riding through all the classes - showing everyone that Australian BMX is very very strong!  Congratulations to all our riders who competed over the weekend. 

You can find the full results from each category below.

We'll be posting more photos and videos to our Facebook & Instagram over the coming days as we sort through them!

Colony BMX have been working hard at putting together the new Horizon Range of complete bikes and they've just landed in store!

The Horizon range is designed to be a light weight option for the younger riders - with specific geometry to suit.  The whole range is also great value - coming in at $599.95 - much cheaper than the other alloy framed junior BMX bikes on the market.  

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.

Read on to find out more.

If you've been around Rampfest in the last couple of weeks, you've seen some BIG park changes happening. 

You can read more about our park upgrades here:  "Big Changes at Rampfest". 

With all this happening, we've also got a few changes to our weekly schedule and our pricing structure starting as of Monday 8th of April.
