Amsterdam

We have a great location and infrastructure underneath the Amsterdam Bridge at Flevopark (Amsterdam Oost). The city provided us with an extraordinary Skate Ramp/Halfpipe. Now it is up to us to keep inspiring others and makes sure this place gets the love and attention it needs.    
Last year in 2025, we had the opportunity to work together with other organizations and organize our event at the NDSM in Amsterdam. But our base is at the Flevopark Vert Ramp, where we want to support our community. This year will be our 5th anniversary! We also support other events all over Amsterdam that has the same objectives like Bijlmer Boogie at Kraaiennest (Amsterdam Zuidoost).

A mini skateboard festival for everyone! Music, food, mini-market and a skateboardcompetition at the Flevopark Vert Ramp. 2 days of vertical skateboarding, with free clinics and lots of fun! Giving back to the community is what we do!

Friday the 5th is the official start of the event with free clinics, practice sessions for all competitors combined with music and food. 

The 6th of june is the last day of the event. In the following days we need to clean the area, bring back equipment and materials. And within a couple weeks we have to file our report to justify our subsidies.

Amsterdam RAMP JAM 5

Milieu natuur en dierenbescherming

We have a background in education and want to lead as an example. 
Within the culture of skateboarding it is all about (self)expression, celebrating being unique and respecting others and the world around you. This also means having a responsibility to take care of one another and the planet. That is why we like to invite the whole neighbourhood and share the positive and constructive nature of the skateboarding community.
We are also working together with the city to uplift the area and create a safe space where everyone can enjoy themselves. A new seating area, a public watertap, structural cleaning etc.
We want to be the most sustainable event out there. When we first started out we collaborated with Sea Water, because there is no water (yet) at our location. With a small budget we also had to be creative and make a lot of the things we needed ourselves, recycle and re-use materials. We our proud of that and now it's part of our DNA. We now run our event on solar power, vegan food and try leave NO footprint. 
Skateboarding and art & culture goes hand in hand. Skateboarders are creative, we have for example a lot of illustrators, painters and musicians etc. among us. We want to tap into that and connect with people and make our event meaningful for everyone.
Sports & Recreation needs no explanation. After 16 year of teching PE I can only say...we need to be and stay active! Did you know that being active and really challenge yourself, contributes the most to the development of cognition?! ;)

We have a great location and infrastructure underneath the Amsterdam Bridge at the Flevopark Vert Ramp (Amsterdam Oost). The city provided us with an extraordinary Skate Ramp/Halfpipe. Now it is up to us to keep inspiring others and make sure this place gets the love and attention it needs.
The best way to do this is by involving the community and create ownership.    

Being part of the Urban Sports Week Amsterdam at the NDSM-Werf. Organizing and hosting an international skateboard competition. Showcasing our sport and community to a very large crowd and being able to give others the experience of skateboarding in a halfpipe. 

USWA 2025

We want to make Halfpipe Skateboarding more accessible for everyone and share our passion. That's why we focus on the youth. We also realise that the purchase of a skateboard and safety gear can be a struggle for some, that's why we offer free clinics and equipment to get started. The good thing is, you don't need membership to be part of this community and it can enrichen your life in so many ways because of this. 
We also noticed that there are a lot of girls who want to start skating, but don't always get the chance or don't want to be the only girl. With our background in education, we create a safe space where girls can skate together under the supervision of a female coach/trainer.
