RampFest News

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.  

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.

Read on to find out more.

Term 3 of 2019 has just kicked off and at Rampfest, we're pumped to be launching our new Ramp School Coaching Programs again.  Each Term, we run an 8-week coaching course for Skateboarding, Scooter & BMX - and this term, we're launching a new structure around all our lessons. 

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.

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.

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.

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
