WHERE SKULL RAMPS CAME FROM
Skull Ramps was never just a business idea. It came from years of skating, building, wrecking, fixing, and trying to find somewhere decent to ride.
For Drew, skating started young. His parents owned a roller skating rink, his sister represented Australia in skating, and he grew up around wheels, ramps, concrete, and a crew of mates who were always chasing somewhere to shred. Back then, skateparks weren’t everywhere like they are now. If you wanted somewhere to ride, you skated schools, searched for banks, hit whatever spots you could find, and had to petition hard to the council to get a proper bowl built.
The skull has always been part of that world. Drew’s first board was a McGill he saved up for, with the big skull and snake graphic that stuck in his head forever. He grew up buying gear from Skull Skates, shredding around in Rat Bones pants, and living through an era where skateboarding had grit, attitude, and its own style.
That’s where Skull Ramps comes from. It’s built from the old-school skate scene, from the love of proper ramps, from backyard sessions, rough spots, ramps built from construction site left overs, and the belief that riders deserve gear that feels right under their feet.
We build ramps because we know what it means to need somewhere to skate.
Shred on.
