With a love for skating and a desire to work somewhere that didn’t require him wearing a tie, Nathan Bemo founded American Ramp Company in 1998. What started out with just a couple guys in a garage has evolved into an action sports development company with worldwide impact. As an avid skater, Nathan’s focus for ARC was to design and develop parks for skaters and BMX bikers. While working with communities throughout the country, ARC saw a shift in the recreation landscape with an emerging need to develop parks that served a broader user group. A few years later, Nathan teamed up with John Hunter, an avid mountain biker, to develop Progressive Bike Ramps. PBR is a turnkey bike infrastructure development company that designs and builds everything from small parks like Bicycle Playgrounds to world class destination Bike Parks. ARC and PBR both design and build pumptracks and have partnered with Velosolutions to provide asphalt pumptrack facilities. Asphalt, concrete, and composite pumptracks make up a new type of recreational facility that can be used by skateboards, scooters, and bikes. Today, ARC is truly a leader in the development of action sports facilities for communities large and small. From a million-dollar skatepark built by ARC’s specialty concrete team Pivot Custom to a small town bike skills area, ARC approaches every project with the goal of creating a place for people and communities to connect.

We believe that communities need challenging and safe places to gather and recreate. Our passion is focused on action sports as designers, builders and participants. Getting people outside and active on a consistent basis changes lives, and changing lives helps to change the world.
