Licensed & Bonded in 3 licenses; General Contractors, Carpenters/Framers and Engineers. We use CNC machines for precision cutting on all transitions. Offer free shipping on all of our orders within the USA - from the smallest ramp kit to our largest halfpipe kits! There are some areas where we shine a little brighter - We've been skating in business since the late 90s, a family run business of 12 employees in Orange County. Our team is licensed & bonded General Contractors, Carpenters, Framers & Engineers. <-- No Joe Blows from Home Depot!! Plus all of our imported/high quality, grade A plywood is used for the transition/logo pieces that are skillfully cut on our CNC machines to give that perfect ride every time. The kits are included with all high quality materials, step by step instructions with pictures that are needed to build some fun ramps! Besides making DIY kits, we've had the pleasure to work with tons of celebs, production events, influencers & known brands. Our professional skate team consists of guys that compete in the SLS, X-Games, Dew Tour, Olympics, etc., so we have some amazing, talented riders with the knowledge & desire to help us create the most wanted ramps/obstacles. We pride ourselves on complete kits & stand beside our products 100%, after all we want our customers completely hyped on our products & service we're able to provide.

It’s a clear formula similar to a Marine Varnish that helps detour weather effects to plywood with the added feature of a special texture that helps grip the skate wheels rather than a slippery effect.

Can I just purchase a Marine Varnish from the store instead of Skate Paint?

NO! Although Skate Paint is similar to a Marine Varnish, the two are completely different when dried. Using a Marine Varnish on your ramp will cause it to become too slippery to ride and, therefore, damaging the ramp.

What’s the difference between Skatelite or Gator Skins?

The biggest difference between these two materials is the brand name. Both Skatelite and Gator Skins serve the same purpose and, in our opinion, are of the same quality. These are both ¼” thick weatherproof panels which will not only protect your ramp from the wear and tear that comes with various weather conditions but will also provide optimal traction for a smooth skate session. Which material you choose will be dependent on your preference and budget as Gator Skins do come in at a lower price point than Skatelite.

If I purchase Skatelite or Gator Skins do I still need Skate Paint?

Yes! We do recommend that you still purchase Skate Paint as Skatelite and Gator Skins do not cover the entire ramp. These panels will only cover the skate surface of the ramp. You will still want to apply the Skate Paint to the two top decks, the sides and the back sides of the ramp. DO NOT apply Skate Paint on top of Skatelite or Gator Skins.

Does Skate Paint come in any different colors or can I paint my ramp a different color?

Skate Paint does NOT come in any colors other than clear. You are able to paint your ramp if that is what you would like to do. If utilizing Skate Paint, you must apply Skate Paint to bare plywood and allow it to completely dry before applying any other paint. When adding a colored paint to your ramp, you will want to make sure that this is an exterior, flat latex paint. You need to ensure that it is not a glossy paint as this will cause the ramp too slippery to ride.

I don’t know anything about Skateboarding, what should I get my skater kid?

Any of our products are very user friendly for any age & any level skater. We always say it boils down to the space where you’ll store the items and your budget. Any item you choose your kid would be stoked!

How long will it take for me to receive my order?

If you ordered one of our smaller ramp kits, our turnaround time is approximately 1 - 2 weeks. If you ordered one of our larger ramp kits, our turnaround time is approximately 3 - 4 weeks.

How easy is it to assemble your ramp kits?

Just need some handy skills with an impact drill. Each skateboard ramp kit comes with pre-cut and pre-drilled boards. The instructions manual has step by step directions with photos and the screws are already pre-counted! Our larger halfpipe kits do require a saw & tape measurer. If you’re not handy with a power drill you may want to ask your neighbor (or friend) to help assist.

How long does it take to build a kit?

Varies upon your skill of a drill and instructions, can take anywhere from 1-8 hours. More hands on deck to assist will make the process quicker.

What surface is best to store a halfpipe on?

Half Pipes can be placed on grass, dirt, gravel or concrete. We do suggest elevating the ramp above surface level to avoid future undercarriage damage with concrete pavers, which also helps with minor leveling. The surface has to be as level as possible. Quarter Pipes need to be placed over concrete, cement, or asphalt. Fortunately, the quarter pipes are mobile and can be moved in and out of the garage, driveway or side yard.

How long do these ramps last?

We use all natural exterior grade A plywood. With that said, these skateboard ramps do require basic treatment and care. For starters, coat any outdoor ramp with Skatepaint and/or Gatorskins/Skatelite Pro. Plus with the use of a plastic tarp would also be very helpful and adds further longevity.

I am interested in a custom project. Can you help me with that?

Sure! We would be more than happy to. Please send an email to info@ocramps.com and provide details of what you are interested in, where you are located, some photos of the space and ideas you have, and your overall budget. We will follow up shortly after with further information.

What to Expect

We have two teams working around the clock to mass produce the beloved kits that are in high demand, after all we service ALL skaters worldwide! The fabrication time in our warehouse starts when you place the order as the information prints out directly to our team to start production. After the kit is created, the next process is actual transit time. We work with several carriers for a variety of our products to help cut down on transit times and delays.

Our Quarter Pipe kits (4ft wide Quarter Pipe & larger), Half Pipes, and sheets of GatorSkins or Skatelite Pro all ship on a double size pallet (4ft wide x 8ft long) via freight carrier. As the double sized pallet leaves our warehouse, the freight carrier will then begin the transit process to get your order over to your local delivery terminal. As your shipment arrives in your local area, the freight carrier will have an appointment setter call you directly to schedule an appointment for delivery. Just like when you book an appointment with the cable company, you will be given a 4 – 8-hour window of delivery.

The freight driver will then arrive at your residential delivery address on the day of your scheduled appointment. Please note that this will be a curbside delivery. The driver will not be able to pull into your driveway or any other requested area on your property. You will want to be sure to have 2 – 3 able-bodied adults, in total, at your place of residence during the delivery window to assist with the unloading of this pallet. Provided the size and weight of these shipments, a liftgate is not permitted and drivers are unable to assist with any of the hand unloading process. The pallet is easy to breakdown to execute a hand unloading process with yourself and a few additional helping hands.

The entire unloading process may seem daunting however it is a fairly simple process that can be executed within 10 – 20 minutes! Please keep in mind that delays may occur with the delivery. We understand that this can be frustrating. If you experience a missed appointment, please reach out to us and our team is happy to help.

If you notice any damages or issues with the order upon receiving, please proceed with accepting the shipment, but notate on the delivery receipt by stating “DAMAGE” when signing the delivery receipt. You do not need to itemize any material which was damaged when accepting the shipment. Once your shipment has been unloaded and signed, please email our team directly with the damage(s), proof of signed delivery receipt which has been notated as damaged along with full length pictures of the material which was damaged. We will work on resolving the issue immediately.

The internet has all sorts of terrible ideas as to how to quiet or dampen the sound of your skateboard ramp - in particular the mini ramps (or halfpipes).

You may read about wives tales on using insulation, filling the coping with whatever, or add pillows and blankets behind the ramp. We are here to clear the air….that is all nonsense.

There are really only 2 suggestions to help quiet your mini ramp.

You can close up the back of your skateboard ramp with ¾” thick plywood. This will eliminate the hollow sound significantly. Again, don’t read into the bogus information about filling in that empty space before you close it up with plywood. It doesn’t work. Simply closing up the backend will help with the noise. Some customers will get creative with it- we’ve seen several put hinges on the backend - making a custom door for storage, etc. That is entirely optional to make use of the space. But in terms of noise levels, close it up.
Also using a softer gel wheel is helpful to give you the incognito vibe your neighbors won’t complain about while shredding your skateboard ramp. Generally the harder the wheel, the louder they hear ya coming! Many skaters have multiple skateboards with a different set of wheels, most prefer the harder wheels during normal street skating use & then at night we switch over to the gel softer wheels so your neighbor’s can get their precious sleep & you can shred your heart out! Not every skater likes riding a gel wheel. There are many pros/cons. For this conversation, the biggest pro for having a softer wheel is the reduced noise factor. If you have neighbors that are goin to be a narc, just throw on the soft wheels!
