    Default What is wrong with ARC (AMERICAN RAMP COMPANY) Ramp company

    Good long read,I would have posted it all but it would be a wall of text.

    http://www.scribd.com/doc/48257277/W...ompany-aka-ARC

    The same Steel pre fabricated ramps Rob Squires park consists of....

    -The company uses telemarketers to get in the door of local city councils to talk up hot,burning, slippery steel ramps and talk down cement parks made by their competitors...

    -The owner of the company is a part of a christianorganisation that uses parks and skating to recruit....

    Sounds dodgy and I wonder how much is true....

    Hmm, a christian organisation that seeks to indoctrinate children, stifle innovation, abuses priveliged positions and generally be a dick to everyone but their shareholders?

    Well now I've seen everything.

    Every region of the US has one of these clown companies preying on towns and cities that deem skaters (mostly skateboarders) enemies. In New England the company is http://www.scituatecompanies.com/.

    The real problem is that the city officials really don't give a shit. Building a "skatepark" is just an excuse to fine skaters for damage while saying "we provided an adequate place to practice!". These bullshit "skatepark builders" will also provide mountains of documents saying that their designs are superior, all signed by "professional" skaters. Realistically these "pros" are just local groms that want to feel special and will sign their lives away for a few hundred dollars. Usually only big cities see through the scam.




    This is probably the best resource on the internet for correct info for building a public park: http://SuburbanRails.com/cgi-bin/Web...age?pageId=842

    you don't need to use suburban rails, Wormhoudt and grindline will also provide good design and build guidance.
