California RampWorks provides end-to-end design, construction, and rental services for action sports facilities including skateparks, ramps, and competition courses.

Primary clients are enterprise event organizers, venues, and corporate brand partners requiring professional-grade builds.

Product overview

California Ramp Works is the world's largest action sports design and build firm, operating as a single unified service offering rather than a modular platform. The company provides end-to-end solutions spanning professional design consultation, construction management, and equipment rentals for skateparks and action sports facilities. Their core product portfolio includes Skatelite ramp surfacing materials (Original for indoor use, OCC for eco-friendly applications, and Pro for outdoor professional use), which they distribute online alongside their construction services. The company specializes in three primary service lines: Contest Course Design & Build for major competitions like X Games and Dew Tour; Private Parks for custom residential and facility installations; and Specialty Projects including interactive courses, themed builds, and custom obstacles. Their rental division supports events requiring portable skatepark equipment. All offerings are unified under the 'Build Skateboarding' brand, with no separate modules or platform architecture.
