With the 30th of Sept only a few days away, we know everyone is cramming in those final foam-pit sessions before our insurance runs out.  We know RampFest won't be quite the same without it... BUT... we've been working hard to come up with a new park design that everyone is going to love. This will be the biggest change to RampFest since our 2019 Bowl Upgrade, and we are actually really excited about some of the new lines that will be in the park. So... drum roll please... this is our new design:   We know that's a lot to take in... but let's go through it bit by bit.  We've num ..read more

The Best BMX Bike: Why you don’t need expensive gear to ride BMX
RampFest Indoor SkatePark Blog
by Steve Taylor-Madin
11M ago
The best BMX bike is the one you have. It’s that simple. It certainly doesn't need the best, most expensive bike to enjoy BMX. One of the biggest hurdles for people getting a start in BMX is the cost of the gear. Buying a BMX can be a daunting task and while we’ll go through that process in another post, we want to remind you of the real joys of BMX. BMX, which if you didn’t know already, stands for Bicycle MotoCross. The whole thing with BMX, in the briefest of history lessons, is that it started with kids making their own bikes from scrap heaps and getting them to look like motorbikes. BMX w ..read more

We're sure that you're all as stoked as we are that lockdown six is finally coming to an end!  This week, we've been getting flooded with questions about when we can re-open... so we wanted to help everyone out and answer all your questions in the one place.  Let's Go!   1.  When can I come ride / skate / scoot at RampFest again? We believe that we'll be able to reopen from the 5th of November.  This was the date originally talked about for the 80% vaccination target and we appear to be ahead of schedule.... so while we're not 100% sure just yet (who is!), we're pretty ..read more

Womens Freestyle BMX - The Ultimate Upset Victory

Coming into the final, Hannah Roberts of the USA was an almost un-backable favourite.  She seemed unbeatable - and her first run didn't give us any reason to think otherwise - scoring a 96 straight out of the gate to top the leader board. Nikita Ducarroz continued her solid form to be in 2nd place after the first runs, and Perris Benegas was just off the podium in 4th spot.  The big surprise came when Charlotte Worthington tried a 360 Flip at the start of her run.... no one saw that coming!  She crashed out... but her intentions were clear.  No safety runs.  No holding ..read more

Foam Pits & Indoor Skate Parks - What's Happening???
RampFest Indoor SkatePark Blog

11M ago
Foam Pits have been a staple part of indoor skate parks for a long time.  When RampFest opened in 2008, the foam pit was one of the key attractions for everyone.  But unfortunately times change and we have to adapt as we go.  This week, like many other indoor skate parks around Melbourne and Australia, we got word that our insurance would not cover us for a Foam Pit from our next renewal. What does this mean? It's pretty simple... we can't legally operate without insurance, and if we can't get insurance for a foam pit, we can't have a foam pit.  It also seems like this ..read more
