Why American Ramp Company should NOT build your skatepark

[lomf]

arc does concrete too? y'all are fucked if that dude says they're pouring concrete. your city needs to get monk and grindline for your concrete needs. best in the business.

I work for ARC and our product has improved by far you park looks that way because of maintenance issues like it wasn't checked regularly in the first place. If the rust had been removed and painted like the persons responsible are informed to do your park would look better by far... P.s. we are probably gonna do you concrete park anyhow.... So see you soon..

[letsgoskatepool]

@theserpentssong I have never been to an ARC park that I have enjoyed and I have skated all over the country and the world at hundreds of skateparks. In fact we the skaters are currently working on replacing an ARC park in Martinsburg West Virginia piece by piece with our own money and labor that is in perfect shape but still sucks. If you want to buy it back, we would be happy for the contribution for a real park.

By the way, you can't be doing the concrete park because its already open!

[HappilyDelusional]

IDK what your complaining about, i'l gladly trade you parks.

[MrBeanerschnitzel]

@letsgoskatepool  you make a point.

[MrBeanerschnitzel]

Six years is a long time for metal to be outside in the northeast. You incredible retard.

[letsgoskatepool]

@MrBeanerschnitzel Don't you mean ARC was incredibly retarded to use steel at a permanent skatepark in the northeast? They sold a skatepark with a 'worry free maintenance guarantee' that was full of crap to a municipality, knowing full well that the product would rot away.

The arc is awesome it is ur citys skaters vandalism that made it so bad

[skateboarddirk]

the obstzcles look real fun but it is really fucked up now

[tylerskatesstreet]

[jkulesha]

shoulda went concrete diy

[CjLittlewoodSkates]

thats cuz its outdoors

[LoveBuildingOnFire]

Good stuff making this video man, the more people that know how bad ARC is the better. Fortunately you guys are going to get not one but two legit new parks in your area. Also be sure to check out the tribeca plaza and Pier 62 park if you havent already.

[coldbloodz187]

Ohh one more thing the pre-cast parks are not even supposed to be in production for 15 more years! But i gusse if you cut some corners off and do it the wrong and dangrous way then you can make anything! if the workers would smartin up and get a union then you might get some quilty parks but until then.if someone was to inspect the parks more then half would be shut down seriously. They talk about being a Christian based Company just because they all go to the same church does not cut it.

[coldbloodz187]

And yea the workers dont give a shit about how its built because they have a dead line and will do what ever it takes to put up a ramp... dont get me wrong some times all you can do is impravize!!! If you searched them or druged tested them i would not be surprized!!! there is no safty standered for the builders... get the park done and thats it!!! im not saying all workers are shit heads but 98%. so if you want druged out felons building your park and working with a hangover..who hate there job

[coldbloodz187]

i used to work for american ramp co and yea.. the main reason some of the product is bad is because they treat there workers bad!!! seriously they give you one a paper with what its supposed to look like and they expect you to build it.. they want you to pick up a 600 pound ramp with two guys.. its dangrous. the workers hate there job but its the only work in Joplin Missouri!!!!! the company is all about profit and does not care for its workers!!!! half the time the workers are druged out Felons

[letsgoskatepool]

Please post a video about it and leave it as a response to this one!

[oldAndNtheWay]

we have an 8 yr. old arc steel skate park at a church. The kids don't want to tell the rec. diretor how bad the ramps are for fear that he will close the park down and there will be no where else to skate! But it's completely rusted out! Razor sharp holes of rusty and thin sheet metal! dangerous.

[WillieD7]

Would people put up with playground equipment that fell apart that quickly?

Worth mentioning that ARC also goes by the names "SOLO" and "Hardcore Shotcrete".

[letsgoskatepool]

@WillieD7 Yes, this is particularly important for the cities that don't know any better.

[waaasabe]

I bet you can't wait for them (ARC) to build your concrete park over in Canarsie!

[johnb510]

I bet the neighbors love those loud steel ramps. Concrete skatepark are QUIET! Steel skateparks are not.

Just say no to prefab skateparks.

[billericaskatepark]

Thanks for posting, I'll use this in our presentation to our town if you don't mind!

[letsgoskatepool]

@billericaskatepark Please do Bill, I have more if you need.  Anything to get these criminals out of the skatepark business!
