Name shop: Rampfest Indoor Skate Park
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Years in business: 10 years open, I’ve owned it for the last 5 years (I’m the 3rd owner of the park)
Employees: 8-10
I want to add a little preface to this - we aren’t a pure BMX Shop - we’re an indoor skate park mainly, with a shop attached to it. The park has been around for 10 years, I’ve owned if for the last 5. It always had a shop attached, but since my own thing is BMX, I guess the BMX Shop side just grew naturally since I’ve been there. So I think my take on local scene, retail etc is a little bit different to most.

A legendary day with Team Soil that was put on by Elton Castee along with TFIL. It was held at Tempest Free Running Academy in Hawthorne Ca for one of Elton Castee's TFLI youtube videos, But I had the inside scoop on what was going down with the BMX portion, 14 Bike riders came out to break 5 Guinness World Records. My old boss Ryan Barspinner Brennan flew in from Hawaii to come get the team back together to break 5 bmx world records in one day. We had to do a certain trick more than 24 times in 60 seconds with a maximum of 12 people. Click play and see what happens and what goes down!
