Rampworx Skatepark has expanded it’s current skatepark in Liverpool by 15,000 square feet making it the largest indoor skatepark in the UK at 70,000 square feet. Designed by John Saxton (Woodward, X-Games) this Street Plaza has everything you need to have the perfect session.

Paul Ryan Rampworx Street Plaza

We have some amazing local riders at our skatepark, the level of talent in the North West is just crazy. We asked two of our local riders to test out our NEW Street Plaza.
Now who better to test out a Street Plaza then one of the best Street Riders on the planet? Liverpool native Paul Ryan (Mongoose, Shadow, Nike) has been supporting Rampworx since day one. You can be sure to see Paul riding the park when he is not jet setting all over the world competing in some of the biggest contests on the planet!

Phil Demattia Rampworx Street Plaza

Another local Phil Demattia was on hand, not only is he a sick rider, but this guy has some serious skills hidden up his sleeve. From building rails to destroying them in video sections Phil can do it all!

Matty Lambert Rampworx

However, the talent in Liverpool does not end at riding. We also have some of the best creative talent in the industry up here as well. Matty Lambert is another loyal Rampworx supporter and we have seen him come on leaps and bounds from his early days filming in the park with his friends (who coincidentally are now all pro). He is now one of the most in demand videographers in the Action Sports industry! He has a client list that most people would kill for Nike to Red Bull and Monster Energy the list goes on. Matty was on hand to capture these two great riders having fun in our new Street Plaza, check it out.

John Saxton Skatepark Extension Designer

John Saxton is one of the best ramp builders in the world. He has worked with some of the biggest names in Extreme Sports from Woodward Camp to the X Games this guy has built it all. We tracked John down 2 years ago and flew him to Rampworx  to talk about an idea we had to make our skatepark bigger. After a few delays thanks to all that lovely legal stuff that goes with having a bigger facility we flew John Back over to start work on our Extension Project.

With a design finalised and with the approval of a bunch of local Pro riders we started construction on our 15,000 square foot extension. At time of filming the skatepark had been built in 22 days and only has a few more days left until completion.

John Saxton is the man behind some of the best skatepark designs in the world, so it only made sense for us to fly him out and talk over some ideas.

Over the last 14 years we have been constantly trying to improve our skatepark and we have no plans of slowing down.

We sat down with John whilst he was over in Liverpool to give you an insight into his career and passion for skateparks and BMX. John also managed to fit in some riding time at the skatepark, check it out.

The future is bright!
