The OC Ramps Story

In 1997, I was in 7th grade. It was an incredible time for skateboarding. I told my Dad that all I wanted for Christmas was a hand built, legit, quarterpipe – that I could skate with my friends on our driveway and street. We got some plans from a magazine and ran over to the hardware store to buy all the materials. It took us a few days to build an 8ft wide x 3ft tall quarter pipe. We also took into account making the ramp narrow enough to fit through our side gate of the house for storage. This was important to my parents as they did not want to constantly see our ramp in the middle of the street or in front of our garage.

That ramp was the hit of the neighborhood. Within that year, my Dad received heart wrenching news that he was diagnosed with Terminal Brain Cancer. Although he was only given 6 months to live, he fought for his loving wife and 4 children for 2 years. My Dad passed away in 2000. I was 15 and a sophomore in high school.

As time continued, I dabbled with building other ramps for friends and making fun skate obstacles in the neighborhood. A year later, my older brother tells me that we should see if we can sell the ramps we built with Dad.

I'm proud to say that after nearly 20 years of business, we have created a number of innovative and quality products. We even have our own professional team of skateboarders from all over the globe. Never did I dream that the skater kid from 1997, after all the rough trials of life, would still have the opportunity to be building my Dad's inspired skate obstacles.
