Designed with 18+ years of experience, we’ve gone above and beyond to make the TrueRide HD system the strongest and best-engineered product on the market.
Heavy Duty All Steel Structure
There is no plastic or wood in this system, which helps to minimize the kinds of expansion and contraction which can lead to ramp deterioration and fastener failure. The supports, enclosures and guardrails are all one piece, which streamlines installation and minimizes bolted connections. TrueRide has also been engineered with a leveling system, allowing it to compensate for inconsistencies in the slab.
Our hot-dipped galvanized coating provides the proper corrosion protection needed to withstand the daily grind of bikes and boards. Other companies’ decorative power coatings are easily ground off while also allowing corrosion from the inside.
Skatelite Pro Surface
Our distinctive surface material has superior performance and safety characteristics. It provides more consistent wheel grip and lower surface temperature than steel, and better impact attenuation and a less abrasive surface than concrete. Enhanced durability comes courtesy of double-thick (1/2 ” ) Skatelite Pro on all flat surfaces.
Perforated Aluminum Substrate
On radiused transition pieces, a ¼” thick sheet of perforated aluminum is utilized to support the Skatelite Pro surface. When compared to the plastic substrates used by others, the aluminum is much stronger, doesn’t trap moisture and will never break down under UV radiation.
Bolt-Through Surface
The industry’s thickest surface is held in place by the heaviest gauge fasteners. The stainless steel Torx T-40 bolt-through system ensures that surface panels and the fasteners that secure them remain firmly in place. This makes them tamper-proof and virtually eliminates protruding or missing fasteners as a maintenance concern.
Stainless Steel Hardware
Inadequate fasteners can be the Achilles heel of a skatepark structure. We use heavy duty, 3/8” stainless steel bolts to keep components in place and corrosion at bay.
Threshold Plates
Skateboard wheels are really small, so cracks and bumps seem really big. Edge thickness of thresholds and the angle at which they meet the ground are critical. To smooth the ride and reduce noise, HD thresholds have minimal pitch and a 1/8” leading edge.
Attention to Detail
Since lips and edges are the enemy of a skater, TrueRide is designed to be smooth and exact. Beveled edges, equipment levelers, and adjustable ledgers all aid in precise assemblies. The details matter and TrueRide was specifically designed with details in mind.
Perimeter Barriers
One of the most important safety features are guardrails. TrueRide complies with existing CPSC entrapment criteria and all ASTM skatepark standards. Our guardrails are also extremely stout because you need to expect the unexpected in a skatepark.
20 Year Warranty
The TrueRide Heavy Duty line is backed by a 25-year limited warranty.
