After twenty years of dreaming, I finally crushed a mini pipe in three days thanks to this. Wish I could post a pic. For those going the extra mile for a halfpipe, 2'x4'x16' built in three pieces works great (sitting on vertical 2x4s, so 21.5" height from the flat with a 4.5' radius). I tried 2'x4'x12' and the flat was way way too short, hence the third piece. I'm cheap and used a ~1.3" curtain rod, but better than the pvc I originally bought. I still need to build a hinging 17-24" top somehow (I have 3.5" right now so I can sort of fit it on a vehicle/trailer).

Best one i saw on building a miniramp, the other vids tell you to buy tools and explain it like you're building a castle 😆 i think my son and i will enjoy this.

i recently skated a 6 1/2 foot ramp dont recommend if your not comfortable giving skating your all and dont have much board time build a 2 footer to get confee with 1 foot is more fun to mess around on 3 feet is perfect for both beginners and intermediate riders, sk8 is life 🤙🏼

@robertf7056 Год назад

I built this yesterday same size. I made the transition radius 4ft 6inches. I’m building a second with a 5ft radius. Thank you for the details! Much Appreciated!

@sk84life80 2 года назад

Oh heck yeah! I need to build this. I have a 7ft curb simulator that I made out of salvaged pallets and a piece of angle from a local metal shop. I had them bend flat plate for a softer corner vs actual angle iron. It's about 8" high and I can bolt on a riser to double the height. I mostly ride it in my basement, but have taken it out on the streets and shared. I landed my 1st backside crook on it.

@darklight4815 Год назад

dude this is the only ramp video i have been needing and you've delivered...thank you so much!! i'm going a bit bigger but the idea is the same...i may even use 2x3's (which i didn't know they made until recently) instead of 2x4's to save a bit of cashola ...i think it'll be just as strong for this use

@32srt32 2 года назад

i built my 2ft with a 5ft transition radius and it works amazing! keen and OC ramps make their 2ft with 6ft transition radius.

@AMMAZZARE 2 года назад

I live in south Florida. Every time we have a hurricane or tropical storm, people throw away the plywood they used to board up their windows. I mean, you can find sheets upon sheets out for the trash. I usually drive around collecting as much as I can fit in my SUV and build free ramps with it.

Hey Ben!! First off man I’m a huge fan of both your skating and all your videos. I don’t quite understand how you got the transition radius… was that a 4ft piece of rope and you just drew quarter circle?

@AChristian316 2 года назад

So if the ramp is always kept inside can you just skip the metal threshold and have the masonite layer act as threshold?

@ElisainNature 2 года назад

Very nice work! I’m building a lot of grindboxes from recycled materials and placing them around my home town. Usually I use angle iron, but now I want to use a long pipe. (Not very thick). I was wondering if you could help me out with a question? I know that the pipe should probably stick out a bit on the top of the box..? But what about on the vertical side/the side that the wheels will slide against? Should the pipe be pretty much flush with this side? And maybe also flush on the top? I want this box to work for crocked grinds too. I’m guessing it should be placed different than it would on a ramp..? Sorry, I have written this question on three of your videos now, hoping that you will read one of them. 😄 -Greetings from Norway 🛹🙋‍♂️

@justkeepskating8888 2 года назад

Flush on the side is best. A mm or two higher for the top edge👍

Awesome video and tutorial! For a small quarter, overall, do you prefer at 2 foot or 18’ like you built? Really debating between those two heights.

@AChristian316 2 года назад

Good question. I built 2ft tall quarterpipe and honestly you really have to push hard to get to top of ramp. Also frontside pivot scary. I do wonder if 1.5ft would be more fun

@@AChristian316 really appreciate your thoughts. With that said, if I build one I’ll prolly go 1.5ft now. Be blessed.

Oh man nice ! I just finished building a 2 foot mini ramp with 68 in transition , just snappy enough and not too mellow. I javemt done Masonite yet, we are skating too later of plywood. Curious, I have 1/4 Masonite ready, but I’m getting conflicting info on placement . Do you need to screw the Masonite down onto the studs as well? Just trying to make sure I get it dialed. Posted a RU-vid short of my kiddo trying it out ;)

@justkeepskating8888 2 года назад

It depends. If it's indoor it doesn't matter. If it's exterior, well....masonite might be a problem anyway so I'm going to assume it's indoor.
