For most skateboarders and in-line skaters skating is not only a sport, but a way of life. Skating is the latest trend and has already become a ubiquitous aspect of our mobile culture. The perfect combination of fun and sport already has more than 17 million fans in Europe. What was once a sporting trend has long become the most popular fitness sport in our towns and cities. Skateboarding is one of the most important sports performed by young people all over the world. The main meeting points for skaters are roads, cycling paths and public squares, so that problems with other road users and pedestrians are to be expected.That is why we have to create zones for our children and young people in which they can satisfy their "thirst for adventure" without becoming a problem for others. We can help you to provide attractive and multifunctional activity zones that correspond exactly with young people's needs. More and more skateboarders, in-line skaters and BMX bikers worldwide enthuse about the skating facilities. Over many years of cooperation with the "skaters" in Europe we have developed products that can stand up to any international comparison.The ratio between the length, breadth and height of the skating facilities are perfectly adapted to one another, thus producing ideal skating conditions. As with all products, the safety aspect is paramount. All products are therefore manufactured according to strict safety standards and fulfil the highest quality standards. Our experienced professional advisers guarantee satisfied customers and users. 1. It all comes down to the surface eibe skating facilities are provided with a specially developed seamless quartz polyester surface.The special quality of the surface results from its composition, which possesses optimum skating properties and meets the highest quality standards: The quartz polyester cover can be produced by us in all RAL colours.The basic colour of the quartz polyester cover is stone. Worn or damaged covers of existing facilities can be re-covered with a quartz polyester coating. The Basic Structure eibe skating facilities have a basic structure made of hot-galvanised steel tube measuring 30 x 30 mm and can be set up on any hard surface (tarmac, concrete etc).We recommend foundations under all transitions. All slides, curbs, rails and grinds consist of galvanised steel tube. eibe skateboard ramps are equipped with side panels made of 1.5 mmthick, hot-galvanised sheet steel, which provides excellent protection against noise and damage by vandals. For all skating facilities we provide a five-year guarantee on the basic structure and quartz polyester cover. The Guarantee and Safety All skating facilities are TÜVinspected and comply with the current DIN 33943/ PAS 35. 3. Sponsoring Have you ever considered getting sponsoring for a skating facility? Finance your skating facilities with s ponsoring and rent out the surface as advertising space! It is no problem to integrate advertising slogans in the quartz polyester coating. Advantages for the Sponsor: The particularly important target-group of 8 to 20-year-olds is constantly reminded of the sponsor's name. The advertising is imprinted in the surface and can therefore not be removed or scratched. Design and Realisation The Rampart Team strive to produce fully customised skate park designs to meet individual needs, and to meet your every demand. We offer as standard . Free design service . Free customer consolation . Expert advice . Designs to PAS35 / DIN 33943 / TUV standards . Fully customised equipment designed to your requirements Using state of the art technology, we are able to simulate the prospected skate area, and show the customer exactly what their skate park will look like. .Design Skate design 1:200 Example Standard Skate Park Checklist for Planning and Construction of Skating Facilities •Various requirements of the user groups: In-line skaters require higher and larger elements as they are mostly more stable on their skates, which are firmly connected with their feet.They reach speeds of up to 30 mph. BMX riders have more or less the same requirements of skating equipment as in-line skaters. Skateboarders prefer flatter and lower equipmentas the board is not connected firmly with the foot and they are therefore not so stable on the board.They reach speeds of up to 15 mph. •A minimum distance of 2 m should be maintained between the equipment, although this should be increased to up to 3m where the construction height is greater. Rule of thumb: Distance of one quarterpipe to the next street element: min. 3 m, max. construction height x 7. Starting distance without quarterpipe: approx. 10 m. •Distance to residential areas? • Are benches and litter bins required? • Should additional equipment be planned for teenagers, e.g.Teen’s Shelter, Bike racks etc?

Resumo: O Skate é utilizado nas ruas como forma de lazer e estilo de vida, mas a realidade encontrada na escola é a sua utilização como meio de transporte e muitas vezes o mesmo fica guardado em um canto até o sinal de pegá-lo e voltar para casa. Assim o presente projeto pretende desmistificar os preconceitos ainda existentes em relação aos Esportes Radicais, em especial à modalidade Skate nas aulas de Educação Física no 8º ano período vespertino, dando ênfase aos aspectos contemporâneos que a modalidade enquanto fenômeno esportivo, cultural e social abrange na comunidade local, desta forma articulando a sua prática com as abordagens pedagógicas nas aulas, propiciando uma formação global dos alunos e que constitui num processo digno de formação humana. Caracteriza-se como pesquisa ação, qualitativa e de cunho social. Com a difusão do Skate, é necessário o aprimoramento do conhecimento de suas técnicas de ensino, mais seguras e eficientes, a fim de ampliar as formulações teóricas a este respeito.

    Concept For: Australian Skateboarding Book David Pang 11Aug2005

    Concept for: Australian Skateboarding Book David Pang 11Aug2005 Proposal: To create the definitive coffee table book on skateboarding in Australia, with a key principle to be unbiased toward any sector of skateboarding and coverage (individual, company, location, photographer, writer etc). Vertical, street will be the majority of the focus but other areas (luge, slalom, cross country, speed etc) will not be overlooked. My concept is to implement this publication in a co-operative manner in which all contributors accept the risk in this publication, but if the final product is the quality and success that I hope it will be, we will have all agreed on the percentage contribution that we have all made towards this product and we will share the fruits of the publications success (once a profit has been realised). The baseline- standard I am aiming for is: • Indy’s Built to grind; http://www.independenttrucks.com/book/index.htm • Disposable- skate deck history; http://disposablethebook.com/ • Legend, Dog Town and the Z boys; http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0964191644/ref=sib_dp_pt/102- 4349672-5424160#reader-page • Media and personalities (clippings and stories) for each era and state! o (Please send in any clippings {with relevant details; Newspaper, date, etc}. or let me know and I will sort out Scanning Details for inclusion) The format so far is as follows: Introduction Clay Wheels, Oak Decks and Flares: (1960s and 1970s); New South Wales • Skaters o Midget Farrelly • John and Paul – Surfskate manufacturing co David Pangs, Skateboard Book

  • Skate Parks: a Guide for Landscape Architects and Planners

    Skate Parks: a Guide for Landscape Architects and Planners

    SKATE PARKS: A GUIDE FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS by DESMOND POIRIER B.F.A., Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, Rhode Island, 1999. A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Department of Landscape Architecture College of Regional and Community Planning KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2008 Approved by: Major Professor Stephanie A. Rolley, FASLA, AICP Copyright DESMOND POIRIER 2008 Abstract Much like designing golf courses, designing and building skateboard parks requires very specific knowledge. This knowledge is difficult to obtain without firsthand experience of the sport in question. An understanding of how design details such as alignment, layout, surface, proportion, and radii of the curved surfaces impact the skateboarder’s experience is essential and, without it, a poor park will result. Skateboarding is the fastest growing sport in the US, and new skate parks are being fin- ished at a rate of about three per day. Cities and even small towns all across North America are committing themselves to embracing this sport and giving both younger and older participants a positive environment in which to enjoy it. In the interest of both the skateboarders who use them and the people that pay to have them built, it is imperative that these skate parks are built cor- rectly. Landscape architects will increasingly be called upon to help build these public parks in conjunction with skate park design/builders. At present, the relationship between landscape architects and skate park design/builders is often strained due to the gaps in knowledge between the two professions.
