Back in 1984, as urban kids in Turin, Italy, the Graw Team fueled their passion for skateboarding by crafting their own plywood boards. Building halfpipes and dedicating themselves to endless practice, they witnessed the rise of international skate competitions. It was an exciting era, and from it, the Graw brand emerged.
While skateboarding technology has evolved significantly since then, with countless variations in trucks, shapes, and wheel/bearing materials, the fundamental strength of plywood skateboards remains. Similarly enduring are Graw Jump Ramps: crafted from plywood, their lightweight portability and appeal to creative skaters make them the quintessential kicker.
Driven by the same original passion, the Graw Team relaunched Graw Jump Ramps after 30 years. This cult favorite from the 80s proved its timeless appeal with a fantastic reception upon its 2014 return. Graw Jump Ramps participation in the 2016 Bright Show in Berlin further expanded Graw’s reach. The Graw G35 Pro “Jump to Jump” contest even resulted in a world record of 4.5 meters. With enthusiastic demand from riders in Japan, Germany, the UK, and beyond. Graw streamlined their production for wider distribution.
WHY WOOD
From the early 80s, the Graw Team’s halfpipes have been constructed using wood, a logical choice considering skateboards are also made from this natural resource. Graw Jump Ramps utilizes this organic material as a counterpoint to the synthetic plastic triangles often seen.
The inherent elasticity of wood translates to enhanced flexibility, allowing skaters to reach greater heights. Graw specifically selects birch, poplar, and beech for their optimal performance.
Fun fact: a G35 Graw Jump Ramp is crafted from the same amount of wood it would take to make 8 skateboards!
