nicely done. I built myself a 4'x16' miniramp in high school. Had a 5'x4' extension on both ends, and an 5' to 4' escalator on one of them. Awesome experience. Wish I had the money at th etime for Skatelite, but found that G1S Fir 1/4" plywood provided a relatively good riding surface up here in Canada for the money. Makes me want to buy a new house and build another one in my 30s

I built similar. It was in the middle of essentially a kudzu jungle in NC. I spent a whole summer just making a concrete & 4x4 foundation for it. That was something like 60 3 ft deep postholes. I covered it whenever possible with a huge tarp. it wa skateable for roughly 10 yrs. Within another 10 the jungle had reclaimed it, and the 4x4 posts of the foundation, completely and there was no sign it was ever there.

My old man built a 12x16 ramp with a 4" transition with a 5" extension on one side in vancouver and because of the rain the last time I was involved in re-sheeting we put tar paper between each layer 3 layers, two of ply and 1 of paperface to cost save away from skatelite. Rain and masonite don't mix. The ramp was pretty damn noisy when rolling on it, which wasn't really an issue, but that was pretty much entirely eliminated by first the tar paper, but second, and more substantially, putting each sheet of plywood at a 45 degree angle and alternating direction every layer. Added benefit to the 45 degree layers is there is legitimately no flex whatsoever. Not something you notice until you actually roll it, but it felt way better afterwards and if he had neighbors that cared you could roll all night barring the coping noise. Only downside is the amount of extra work cutting the 45s.

such a good idea to have all the wood pre-cut and drilled/counter-sunk instead of just doing it as you go. then later in the workflow when you get problems like twisted/warped timber you fix it the right way instead of working around it..if i ever build a ramp again seems like the way to go

@keenramps3 жыл бұрын
Make sure you’re getting 3/8” ply rather than 1/2” and bend it the short way. Plywood only bends the 4’ way. It’s also a good idea to have ribs at least every 8 inches and then “T” up the 2x4s as shown in this video where ever the seams meet (aka where the end of the plywood on a transition meets another sheet of ply). Hope this helps!
@joshdrew40513 жыл бұрын

We do them in batches so it’s hard to give an exact time estimate. Cutting the sides takes approximately 30 min, countersinking the top layer another 45 or so, cutting the ribs approx 20-30 min; pre-drilling the holes about 20 min, painting the ramp is approx 30-45 min. Roughly 3 hours to prep this size ramp with a helper. You thinking about building your own?!

I’m actually attempting this right now, semi-inspired by the free ledge video and my wife saying no to spending 500$ on materials. It’s based on pallets stacked up like a staircase and then cut off on the back end to the correct length. Personally I used some leftover ply I had to cut the template which I screw into each ramp side to stagger the pallets correctly, but not sure it needs that much care. Not sure how it’s gonna turn out as no matter what you do it’s pretty hard to come by free decent sheets of plywood. Also you trade expense for a ton of weight which is good in that you get more structural integrity than one would expect from a mini ramp built from refuse. But if you don’t have a ton of space and want to be able to store the thing... well let’s just say I’ll see how it turns out. I would love to see keen ramps do a free mini ramp video though to get some inspiration or even try my idea. They’ll be done much faster than me working on it in my spare time.
