Big Daddy is Shaping the Future of Skateparks

Huntington Beach, Calif.—Big Daddy Manufacturing, the premier manufacturer of precision engineered ramps for skateboarding, BMX and in-line skating, is revolutionizing the ramp and skatepark industry with its pre-fabricated, ready-to-assemble RampKits.

Traditionally, skateboarders and other action sports enthusiasts have not been given a safe place to practice and hone their skills. Big Daddy is changing that. With the demand for skateparks at an all-time high, Big Daddy has developed a line of ramps that directly improve opportunities for action sports enthusiasts worldwide.

"We want to give every young person across the globe a chance to have a skatepark in their community," says Big Daddy CEO Phillip Pinol. "We want to give these kids the opportunity we never had growing up."

Big Daddy has introduced a modular line of ramps, called RampKits that can be mixed and matched into an endless variety of combinations, making it easier than ever to build a skatepark.

According to the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) skateparks are the number-one request made to Parks and Recreation nationwide. Skateparks are the baseball diamonds of the present and future, and cities and communities across the nation are recognizing Big Daddy as the best source for their skatepark needs.

"The instillation and quality of Big Daddy products have been excellent and have performed extremely well," says George Balteria, Park Development Coordinator for the City of Glendale, California. "The ramps have been very popular with the skaters and have contributed greatly to the success of our skate facility."

What makes a Big Daddy skatepark so special is that it can be assembled with just a cordless screw gun. Each component is precision cut to size and every hole is pre-drilled. And, unlike concrete parks, Big Daddy's RampKits are portable. Even after completion a park's layout can be altered to meet current trends and ability levels. While other skateparks take years to research and plan, a Big Daddy skatepark can be up and running in as little as three days. They do all the planning for you. The only requirement is a smooth, flat and level surface.

"We have developed a product that is safer and far more cost effective than concrete and other custom built parks," says Pinol. A Big Daddy skatepark is 1/10th price of a comparable concrete skatepark."

Said Nancy L. Beard, Director of Parks and Recreation, Seal Beach, California: "We have been operating for one and a half years now and we still receive compliments on both the versatility of the equipment and the layout."

Big Daddy's success has led other ramp builders to duplicate their pre-fabricated, modular system.

"When a competitor copies what you are doing it's very flattering" says Pinol. "But our philosophy is that we have no competitors. We view everyone as a potential customer."
