Nate Wessel

Jack of All Trades

Designer and Builder of Woodward Skateparks (most recently Woodward Beijing)

Designer and Builder of X Games vert ramp, park course, and street course, Nike backyard ramp contests, and many more events.

Co-owner of Team Blowin’ It

Designs bike parts for Failure Bikes

Discovery Channel’s Stunt Junkies

The list goes on …

Most know him for being a pure hardcore BMX rider that is never afraid of going big since the early 90’s. Others know him for being the best and hardest working ramp builder in the business for numerous events and parks around the world. If you don’t know him then you better ask somebody because passion runs through his veins and you can’t help, but be inspired by his creativity, drive, and work ethic.

Nate is always on the go travelling all over the world building ramps in countries such Guam and China to name a few. In 2009, he put together a bike/skate tour and flew out to Iraq with other pro bikers/skaters in support of the troops. He plans to do it this year as well.

He has achieved so much over his lifetime and is still going, but nothing compares to being a loving husband to his wife and father to his two beautiful kids. We can’t wait to see what he has in store for this year’s X Games. Be sure to check DPE’s blog frequently for Nate’s upcoming project vehicle with DPE Wheels.

Nate Wessel truly exemplifies DPE’s motto of “Perfection Has No Alternative“.
