Thank you for making this video. I've been talking to my dad for a while about a ramp and he saw this video and saw that it actually not that hard. We quickly gathered the supply's and got it built and today I just rode it! This is the first ramp I've ever built and i has so much fun. Thank you!

My 14yr old and husband built this from your plans. It came out great! They used a metal pipe and added some metal to the transition. Thanks for the great plans!

[@zacharywilcox2159]

Built this during quarantine with my friend, works great. Sturdy enough for 3 people to drop in at the same time. I learned rock to fakie on the ramp. Taught my friends how to drop in by putting the ramp in grass so they wouldn’t be afraid to fall. I would recommend a thin sheet of metal at the very end because the wood chipped and broke. Plus the metal makes the transition smoother.

[@Miltoncity]

Awesome ramp! Took a friend and myself about 3 hours to complete, very sturdy awesome ramp, only thing I suggest is to use metal pipe instead of PVC, within 10 minutes of using it we cracked it plus it makes horrible noises with the PVC

[@AdamDIY]

Interesting. Did you use sprinkler (white) PVC or Conduit (grey) PVC?

This is so amazing. My dad and I build this today and we love it. great plans. great video. super good. Thanks from Australia!

[@luckkibehemoth6626]

the construction adhesive method for the coping is the same reason I broke my collar bone, drill the hole and make sure they are screwed down. If you are able you can also use a washer bolt and nut to get a better fit. This also helps with removing the coping if it gets damaged. Same thing with attaching the deck. Two bolts on each side with a metal bracket will make your ramp last longer they can be found at Lowes too.

[@hudsoncox181]

Thanks man and damn

[@hurricanesstink]

can you show a picture of the metal bracket?

[@drumboarder1]

@@hurricanesstink doesn't have to be specific, just search for "how to attach coping to quarter" and use probably any of the methods that use bolts/screws, you don't even need brackets really

[@bakedbeings]

You can use J bolts as well, or tap a hole in the pipe.

[@AlanReidPhD]

Skate park shut down, so my 7yo son and I built this according to your video. Turned out great, and we’re having a blast on it. Just the right height. Thanks man!

[@droog79]

Hi , thanks so much for these videos. I just finished making 2 quarters based on your design & explanation and am having a lot of fun on them re-learning skating in my 40s with my kids. i made one at 24" with a 5'ish radius and a mellower one at 23" with a 6' ish radius. It is worth pointing out that your plans and materials specs only work for the specific ramp in the video (23" & 5' radius). For the 6' radius ramp i had to use an extra bit of ply for the transition because it's longer. The great thing is that i could make make 2 ramps from the ply that you specify by buying a few extra 2x4s and using some scrap bits of wood i had for the platform , a fantastic cheap micro halfpipe! My tip is : Take your time to get the coping levels right, makes a big difference.

[@deirdre444]

Finally someone gets very specific about how to build it. THANK YOU!

[@ethanhall5842]

You just gained a new subscriber! Keep up the awesome tutorials!

[@Mrhurtsdonut]

@AdamDIY I literally never post you tube comments but this is dope. I've been debating building a mini ramp in my backyard so badly, i'm 22 an wanna get back into skating. As a kid the parks were far so all I did was flat an some rails(wasn't good but it was a lot of fun). I couldn't find any other good PVC info but this helped a ton thanks, metals expensive. Sorry to be pushy bro but you should do another vid on a full size mini ramp i mean it's not like you don't already have half of it LOL. Seriously though, I've been thinking about this for months. This is like probably the 20th video I've watched and every other one was on mini ramps, but this was was the best by far. And not only that you gave by far the most info thank you so much!(the list of materials in the comments is fantastic out of all the videos i think i maybe found one other that had the list makes it so much easier :D). PS just kidding don't make a whole new video for one guy but i'm happy i stumbled onto your channel I love diy thanks for the hard work!

[@michaelquirion9421]

you have to check for steel pipe, the thing they use to pass electric wire. it's aroung 35$ canadian for a 10'X2'' and use self-drilling metal screws to fix it

[@drumboarder1]

Been skating 20+ years, absolutely don't use pvc. Someone else mentioned this guy saying you should just glue the coping in which is also very VERY wrong. Needs to be screwed in. I'll leave a comment on the video when I get to the end and see if there are any other issues

[@janinemartinez6071]

This going to be a fun project because I'm stuck in the house because of the pandemic

[@SurfnSkaterDad]

Thank you, Adam! Your video was extremely helpful!! We ended up using the PVC coping. That tip was very helpful! My kids love the new ramp and were super excited to build it. Thank you!!

[@stephencornish1255]

Just made this ramp, and it works great, I didn’t get the plans from patreon, the video gave all the details needed!

[@stephencornish1255]

About $115.00, I had a few other items from the hardware store, and my bill was $130. I used PVC pipe instead of metal to reduce the cost. ($4.00 vice $21.00 for the coping) My son has used it everyday and it is holding up well.

[@stephencornish1255]

I also purchased 4x4 (half sheet) sheets of plywood instead of standard 4x8. It was trickier to measure, but reduced waste and cost since I wasn’t making 2 ramps.
