Choose the surface you will skate
Bring a smooth, fast riding surface to the ramp you skate every day. Skatelite's paper-composite panels are made for outdoor action-sports use, from skateboards and scooters to BMX bikes and roller skates. Choose natural wood tan, with optional preparation for your OC Ramps kit to simplify the installation work.
Give the ramp a smooth final skating surface
Skatelite's smooth, fast surface gives riders a consistent material to return to through daily sessions. The paper-composite panel becomes the final riding surface over the ramp's supporting construction. Choose it for the part of the build your wheels meet on every run.
Lay out the four-by-eight-foot sheets
Each sheet is four feet by eight feet and one-quarter inch thick. Use those dimensions to plan the cuts and sheet layout for the ramp you are surfacing. Work from the actual ramp measurements so you can account for the pieces your project needs before ordering.
Build for a shared action-sports session
Skatelite is designed for skateboards, scooters, BMX bikes and roller skates. That makes it a surface to consider when different riders share the ramp. Match the ramp's layout to the activities you want to host, with the same natural wood-tan finish across the riding surface.
Get the preparation done for your OC Ramps kit
Choose pre-drilling, countersinking and cutting to size when ordering sheets for an OC Ramps kit. The service handles those tasks before installation, giving your build fewer preparation steps. DIY builders can order without the service and prepare the sheets to their own ramp design.
Choose an outdoor riding surface
Skatelite is made for outdoor ramp use, with weather resistance suited to a surface that sees regular sessions outside. Keep the complete ramp's care in the routine as well, including exposed wood and fasteners. Our Ramp Care guide helps you look after the setup around the riding surface.

Questions about 4 x 8 Skatelite Pro Ramp Surface Panel
How is Skatelite Pro different from Skate Paint?
Skatelite Pro is a physical quarter-inch panel installed as the final riding surface. Skate Paint is a clear coating rolled onto real wood. Compare the ramp plan, desired riding layer, seams, cuts, budget, and maintenance approach before choosing. A sheet and a liquid coating do not solve the same construction job.
Can Skatelite Pro be cleaned after wax, pad scuffs, or graffiti?
Cleaning is part of caring for the surface. Use the manufacturer's current cleaning directions for wax, pad scuffs or graffiti, including which products and methods are suitable. Check the riding surface after cleaning before putting the ramp back into use.
Which action sports can use this Skatelite Pro surface?
The surface is intended for skateboards, scooters, BMX bikes, and roller skates. That makes it useful for a shared action-sports ramp, though each discipline still needs appropriate site planning, protective equipment, and a ramp layout that fits the riders using it.
How is a Skatelite Pro panel used?
Skatelite Pro is installed as the final riding surface on a compatible skate ramp. Match the sheet count, thickness, and cut plan to the exact project, then protect any plywood that remains exposed rather than applying Skate Paint over the Skatelite surface.
Can I return the 4 x 8 Skatelite Pro Ramp Surface Panel if it is not the right fit?

The internet has all sorts of terrible ideas as to how to quiet or dampen the sound of your skateboard ramp - in particular the mini ramps (or halfpipes).
You may read about wives tales on using insulation, filling the coping with whatever, or add pillows and blankets behind the ramp. We are here to clear the air….that is all nonsense.
There are really only 2 suggestions to help quiet your mini ramp.
- You can close up the back of your skateboard ramp with ¾” thick plywood. This will eliminate the hollow sound significantly. Again, don’t read into the bogus information about filling in that empty space before you close it up with plywood. It doesn’t work. Simply closing up the backend will help with the noise. Some customers will get creative with it- we’ve seen several put hinges on the backend - making a custom door for storage, etc. That is entirely optional to make use of the space. But in terms of noise levels, close it up.
- Also using a softer gel wheel is helpful to give you the incognito vibe your neighbors won’t complain about while shredding your skateboard ramp. Generally the harder the wheel, the louder they hear ya coming! Many skaters have multiple skateboards with a different set of wheels, most prefer the harder wheels during normal street skating use & then at night we switch over to the gel softer wheels so your neighbor’s can get their precious sleep & you can shred your heart out! Not every skater likes riding a gel wheel. There are many pros/cons. For this conversation, the biggest pro for having a softer wheel is the reduced noise factor. If you have neighbors that are goin to be a narc, just throw on the soft wheels!
