"finished!"build a bike skateboard ect. ramp

my finished product yours can come out tottaly different every thing is optional

2-6 are of me jumping the ramp ignore my faces I made that was because I was trying to get as much air as I could to show off to my family and friends. knex_gun_expert is in the red T.

Step 1: Gather tools

go get your dads tools or your own.

a hand saw or circular saw optional.

skill saw or a small hand held carving saw (I don.t know what they are called)

a hammer or a drill depending on if your using screws or nails you have to use screws if your making a bent ramp.

screws or and or nails. 1 3/4ths inch are best.

safety goggles or shades

is the reciprocating saw dewalt if it is how much did it cost

[the_burrito_master]

I think it's a black n' decker (or whatever that company's called) and I wouldn't know cause it's my dad's but. I think they range in price from like 50- 150$ depending on their power and various somewhat useless functions.

cool thanks

[commanderwolf]

just a tip

when you want to actually learn how to ride

take a look

dont be afraid to try something else

and dont just ride off the lip of your little bump

[the_burrito_master]

I don't just ride off I jump off , but that was then this ramp is now dead. :(

what else can one do on a ramp this size I don't think i could even attempt a *360 that's just asking for a broken arm.

[gallantdx03]

i skateboard, but i have seen guys do flat ground 360s with moderate effort. achievable with a few years of pratice.

[the_burrito_master]

Can bunny hop almost a foot with that bike maybe 3 inches with a mountain bike.

[airsoft1017]

you could twitch half exup IDK how to spell it and you could bar tap these are begginer tricks and meant for a ramp this size

[the_burrito_master]

lol I just realized I'm wearing the same pair of pants as i was when I took the action shots they've gotten very fluddy

[the_burrito_master]

Ah I'm not much of a bmx'er any more (not that i ever was), but I do have some nice ramps for stuff like that I only used them like 3 times this year I should proly sell them. I could prolly make a pretty penny on them

[donohoesam]

sorry if i'm bein a bit quik but could u make a youtube vid of how to make ih cause dat would be really good p.s. if u do could u give da link cheers sam donohoe

[donohoesam]

ehmm can u pleez tell me how u made da curve cheers

[the_burrito_master]

Follow Step 2, first...

[donohoesam]

thx

[182515]

If you made the ramp longer and possibly less of a curve at the end you would go much farther. I make non permanent ramps out of bocks of wood and ply wood 2 feet high and get around 15 feet in distance and 3 feet of air. Good construction though

[TheChemiker]

That's not 5 feet of air. That is maybe 2-3 feet.

[ronmarsala23]

dought the bike wieghts 10lbs

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]

dont you mean knex_bulider_freak

[the_burrito_master]

[bennyboy09]

[animan1]

i made one like that (exept with more suports) 2 days ago

[taka21]

dude.. You need to add supports.. It could break anytime.. at least put supports!!!

[the_burrito_master]

nice! don't leave that card board stuff in the rain if that's what it is. you might need some more studs it looks sorta weak.

[Anton1995]

It isn't cardboard its that wood from back of the closet and it not need more studs its enough strong.

[the_burrito_master]

ohh ok.

[KalShii]

whats that thin, flexible wood called? its usually about an 1/8 in i think but im not sure

[the_burrito_master]

no it's 1/4 inches thick it's called ply wood it works fine if you wet the back wetting it makes it easier to bend.

[KalShii]

o thats also plywood? thnx i thot plywood was that chip stuff that like 1/2 to 1 inch thick? kool thnx

[the_burrito_master]

that's press board I usually call it ply wood too but that's the correct term.

[mtm101097]

the thing u call a skill saw is actually a reciprocating saw

[the_burrito_master]

thanks

[bam21]

sik ramp get alot of air :) <.

[Owenmon]

Well, It's time to bring my heelys back out again! XD

[the_burrito_master]

heelys have got to be hard.

[Owenmon]

not that hard =P i used to use them at the skate park on the vert ramp >:D

[the_burrito_master]

sweet! The vertramp is like a tall quarter pipe isn't it? or is it the flat on an angle ones. I almost crashed into this skate boarder once on my skate board.
