Q: What is the best product line? A: Becouse we offer every bui ld method, we don't push one over the o the r. We will present you with 0 11 of your options ond work with you to determine the best build method for your community. However, it is noteworthy thot most municipolities prefer the Pro Series ond the Solo Series product lines becouse of their long worronty ond reduced mointenonce.

Q: How much do you charge for your design services? A: We offer our design services o t no chorge. Becouse we ore the lorg­est skotepork builder in the world we ore oble to extend these services ot no cast to our clients, soving them design fees, ond o llowing them to get more skotepork for their budget. Simply give us 0 coil ond one of our skotepork speciolists will be hoppy to meet with you ond your locol riders to begin working on 0 custom skotepork loyout designed specifi­colly for your community.

Q: Does having a skatepark increase our city 's liability exposure? A: Skoteparks offer less liobi lity exposure than many other common forms of recreation. Most government entities are protected from liabil­ity claims provided they are not deemed gross ly negligent. As long as you dloose to work with an experienced skotepark bui lder that has proper insurance coverages in place, liobili ty should not be an issue.

Q: What insurance does ARC carry and why? A: $IOM in product and $lM professional liability insuronce. Product liability covers claims tha t may stem from a product failure. Professional liability covers claims caused by professional negligence such os design­ing a park that is unsafe. It is cruciol that ony skatepork company you work with hove both of these coverages in place with adequate li mits to cover thei r products, themselves, and their customers.

Q: Should we use concrete or a sphalt for our pad? A: It depends on the situation. The pad is merely 0 means to whot the skaters really want-ramps. Our first recommendation is locate an existing pad such as an unused basketball or tennis court. If an existing si te can be used, 0 11 of the money that would have gone to a pad can go towards more equipment. If a new pad must be poured, concrete is preferoble as long as the cost of pouring concrete does not consume so much of the budget thot the skatepork ends up looking like 0 skate pad. In this case, aspholt can be much more economical and allow more budget for ramps ond skate e lements.

Q: Do you offe r concrete specifications that we should use for our skate park pad? A: We can provide general concrete pod specifications for your skatepark. Depending on your site and region there could be some specific considerations that you should discuss with your local concrete contractor or engineer.

Q: Can ARC he lp with grants/ fundraising? A: American Ramp Company offers its own skatepork equipment g rant and can provide assistance in securing additional gronts. Contoct a skatepark specialist for details. ARC a lso motches the Tony Hawk Grant dollor for dollor in additional equipment.

Q: Do you have local representation? A: Yes, our factory skatepark specialists can meet with your community

anytime. We are always visiting our existing skateparks and meeting with new customers to talk about upcoming projects. Doing business factory direct means beller service, more knowledgeable staff, and no 20-30% mark up associated with buying from a third party. Coil one of our skatepork specialists and set up a meeting-we would love to discuss your project.

Q: Skateboards o nly or BMX too? A: All of our product li nes ore engineered for skoteboards, inline skates, and BMX bikes.

Q: How much does a skatepark cost? A: We bui ld custom skoteparks to meet ony budget. From small skate spots to world class competition style parks, we con design ond bui ld anything our customers can imogine. For ideas, check out the somple designs in this catolog or on our website. www.americanrampcompany.com

Q: How does a s teel skatepark compare with a pour-in-place con­crete skatepark? A: Both construction methods are going to last 0 long time. Here are a few things you should consider. 1) Nei ther poured-in-place concrete or steel is maintenance free. 2) The cost of a concrete skatepork is going to be mony times more than steel. Often you con get 0 complete steel park installed for the same amount that a concrete design olone could cost. 3) We have visited many parks that local concrete contractors or cities have built and have seen wavy transitions, misploced coping, and incorrect rodii. If you go with a concrete park, you must go with a pro· fessionol skatepork builder who has professional liabi lity insurance and require a performance bond. 4 ) Concrete parks con not be modified or moved if the need ever orises. 5 ) With an 0 11 steel park you can get a more versatile park, more equipment, at a lower cost ond sti ll avoid maintenance issues common with other moterials.

Q: Isn'l a s teel riding surface slick? A: No. Steel would be slippery if it were painted with a standard point. However, we use a custom MaxGripTM TGIC polyeste r powder coat on all our riding surfaces to give them perfect troction, even when the ramps are wet.

Q: Isn't steel too loud as a riding surface? A: Whether the riding surface is a ll stee l or Skate lite Pro"', a ll approach plates (metal areas that join the romps to the ground) are made of steel and this is where most of the noise is generated. Furthermore, if you desire the maintenonce free benefits of a steel surfoce and sound is a major issue, we can add a sound dampening moterial to our Pro Series or you can go with our X-Series with 0 steel riding surfoce. Though the steel is not neorly os loud as many would expect, it is importont to note thotthe quietest option of 0 11 is the Solo concrete ramps.

Q: Why should we go with American Ramp Company? A: We regulorly get calls from people who tell us how refreshing it is to find a company so in tune with skoteboarding, inline, ancl BMX trends and whose designs and construction reflect their experience. We believe it is our product knowledge, consistent quolity, competitive pric· ing, and dedication to customer service tha t has made ARC the world's largest skatepark provider.
