DEW TOUR – “SKATE STREET” CONTEST COURSE

City: Salt Lake City, Utah

Size: 9,600 sq. ft.

Role: Skatepark Designer AND Builder

Year Built: 2011

 

Spohn Ranch, a cornerstone of action sports progression, came through big for the Dew Tour’s third stop in Salt Lake City, Utah this past weekend with the design and construction of the “Skateboard Street” course. Hot off the success of the Ocean City, Maryland and Portland, Oregon stops, the Toyota Challenge in SLC featured BMX dirt/vert, freestyle moto, and skate vert/street competitions. The famed “Portable Concrete Bowl” is currently in storage until the next season, with rumors hinting that it will be featured at every stop.

For SLC, our 11,000 square foot concrete skatepark replicated an urban plaza environment with recreations of popular features today’s top street skaters are riding. With a huge overlap into our overall design process, having our skateparks and event courses scrutinized by the world’s top professional skaters on a daily basis, provides us with invaluable feedback that is incorporated into our municipal projects for an unmatched level of quality.  Finals highlights can be seen here!

Via Alli Sports:

“In what the riders were calling out as one of the best courses the Dew Tour has ever built, the guys were throwing trick after trick as proof. Once the final jam was underway, it was Decenzo who got his rhythm going with a nollie heel down the gap, and solid tech tricks while making full use of the course. His intro run, earlier jam and final jam score of 87.18 gave him the win and it also earned him the overall lead for the Dew Cup. When the competition ended, he credited the course with helping him take the win.

“The way they put the whole big section together was good, the hubbas were the right height and the rails were the right height, steepness and length,” Decenzo said. “It was great for progressing and landing tricks consistently.”

Spohn Ranch Skateparks: Design. Build. Come together.

NEW WEBSITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Spohn Ranch began as a community, anchored by Aaron’s backyard half-pipe, and grew into a renowned nationwide skatepark design/build firm. The creative culture of Aaron’s backyard gave birth to many companies, careers and artistic creations, including Spohn Ranch’s original “S” logo and red, white and blue color scheme. It’s treated us well over the past twenty years - becoming an iconic symbol of skatepark innovation and ingenuity.

We are always evolving though, and after 20 years of successful business, we felt it was finally time that the graphic look and feel of our brand evolve as well. Over the past several months, our team has been working hard to find new ways to express our company spirit and values, culminating in a new and improved Spohn Ranch brand.

We’re eager to unveil our new look, but one of the most involved parts of the rebranding effort – the website – is still a few months from completion. In the meantime, we hope you’ll stay connected as we embark on an exciting journey in 2013.

It will be a big year for us as we continue to push the limits of skatepark design and construction with sculptural masterpieces across the globe. The first phases of our biggest project ever, over 400,000 square feet of design/build will also be coming to fruition in the mountains of West Virginia this year.

What we’re most excited about though, is that our skateparks will continue to help us achieve our grander vision - tearing down walls, forging communities and bringing people together.
