As Seen on Nike “Throwdown”
For their 2013 “Throwdown” national TV ad campaign, Jim Bell and the JBSR team was hired by Nike to design and build a skate ramp for extreme wheelchair athlete Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham. The TV spot featured a series of videos in which everyday athletes challenged, pushed, and inspired one another by throwing down with their best move. The moves were amazing, but Wheelz was a definite standout! Check out Wheelz epic wheelchair backflip on the JBSR ramp at :18 of the video.
Our Mission
Skateboarding ramps are a safe and fun way to connect families, friends, and communities — getting them physically active together. We’re living in a time in which it’s more important than ever that we teach our kids the values of family, personal connections, community, and maintaining health through physical activity. Our Mission at JBSR is to design and build affordable, premium-quality ramps to help bring these values through skateboarding to you and your family.
Ramp Basics
Half Pipe Ramps
The HALF PIPE is a staple in skateboarding! Great for all ages and skill levels –and available in a variety of sizes– our half pipe mini ramps are great for the ultimate skater’s dream backyard setup.
Quarter Pipe Ramps
For some, a quarter pipe is a launch ramp. For most, it’s perfect for driveway skateboarding fun! With all the functionality of a half pipe, a quarter pipe is portable and offers the unique flexibility to gain speed and approach from unique angles.
Grind Boxes
The Grind Box is the perfect portable addition to a mini ramp, quarter pipe…or absolutely great fun on it’s own! From board slides and Smiths — to 50/50’s and Fakies, the Grind Box is a go-to solution for honing your tech skate moves.
Skate Bowls
Nothing says surf skating like dropping into one of our custom made skate bowls. Beginners and pros agree, we all love skating bowls! This super fun design originated from early surfers turned skaters sneaking in and skating abandoned backyard pools.
