RAMPS MODULAR SYSTEM SURFACE MATERIALS SKATEPARK PLANNING EXAMPLES & REFERENCES

SURFACE MATERIALS

The surface of any Skatepark is one of the critical elements that contribute to the success of the facility. Evolution offer 3 surfacing options:

Option 1 - Synthetic (Recommended for exterior ramps)
Option 2 - Birch Ply (Recommended for interior ramps)
Option 3 - Steel

Whichever riding surface option you choose, the framework principle remains the same. In the instance of Option 1 & 2, the opportunity of change from one to the other in subsequent years is possible.

OPTION 1 - SYNTHETIC

The proprietary system used by Evolution in 99% of our skateparks is a triple layer, bonded & fastened Skatelite Pro riding surface.

Used extensively at Skateparks worldwide and endorsed by many world class skaters and BMXers.

Used in conjunction with an 18mm substrate, this surface offers good natural SOUND & IMPACT ABSORBTION & finds a compromise between durability & the 'soft ride' associated with less durable plywood surfaces.

Benefits:
• Smooth & fast
• Quiet
• Highly durable
• Superior grip with little friction
• Fire resistant
• Remains a safe temperature
• Dries very quickly
• Doesn't rot or splinter
• Cleaner friendly

Evolution have worked with synthetic surfaces for longer than most manufacturers and have a unique BONDED AND FASTENED surfacing system. The benefits of which are:

• Surface is held uniformly across 100% of its surface area
• Floating surface allows expansion/contraction without distortion
• Reduced pressure points allow more consistent curve
• Rubberised, flexible adhesive enhances acoustic impact absorption
• Unauthorised tapering/removal of surface virtually eradicated
• Up to 50% reduction in exposed fixings
