Building a Mini Ramp Halfpipe [Start to Finish]

Building a mini ramp halfpipe with materials from @OCRamps . Dimensions are 3.5’ tall x 12’ wide x 24’ long. I used Gator Skins for the finish on the ramp and OC Ramps Skate Paint on the rest of the exposed wood. I doubled the deck on one side to add standing room, storage underneath and stairs.
Having a mini ramp has been on my bucket list for many years so I’m stoked to finally make it happen!

Build and skate in flip flops? True talent

[@samhowitt70]

Construction chancala's.😅😅😅

Sri Lankian style 😎

most ordinary Element skater, lol

[@fredrikjaensson7350]

Awesome. Those kids will have the time of their lives on that ramp🤘🤘🤘

[@clarkkent3730]

best ramp build on KZbin love to see the whole family taken part

[@MNSweet]

Your kids are definitely going to grow up knowing how to be active and have fun. Glad I stuck around after the workshop was completed, this is a fun build. I know it is in total contrast to my last comment but I would welcome a video explaining your board shaping and planning methods. I may not surf but I love all forms of engineering.

[@BendheimBoards]

More videos coming of the shaping bay and a walkthrough eventually so stick around!

[@michaellorenzen8200]

​@@BendheimBoardsno doubt I love your "construction crew" especially the LEAD in the hoodie 😜 only suggestion is next use some Liquid Nails 👍

At first I thought its pretty neat to have a skating ramp in your own yard, then I remember you're in California so it made total sense to have ramp in your own home. Your kids can learn from the easy ramps and you can keep an eye on them. So when they grow up they can brave the other skating parks around the city. Also, massive bragging rights when your kids go to school, they can say "hey I have a ramp at home you guys wanna come over to practice skateboards?". Very nice! Edit: Yes, I said practice skateboards

[@a.reyfilms]

“practice skate boards” 😂

[@electricfil]

Skrateboards

[@ericlongcor4276]

I did this 40 yrs ago with my father, still remember how fun it was

[@AnthonyBernhardt]

I love the accessories. The door on the back. The steps. Well done! Your kid dropped in with flip flops what a savage!

[@JustFuNNN]

This video is really something else... Ben doesn't just build or makes stuff, he makes them with that tidy and elegant look, all clean and with that visual appealing esthetic that I really appreciate. Backyard is getting insane with the shaping bay and miniramp, man! Oh, and of course you and your kids skate in flip flops, geez you guys rock! Awesome content as always man, keep it up 💪🔥

[@chademond]

Your wife and kids are rockstar helpers with that build. ❤

[@J10TAY]

Loved seeing the kids! So cute

[@ricric9521]

Pretty textbook. We used to make them when I was 16 the same way minus the 4x4 structure and steps. Wood was resourcefully sourced 😊.Nice.

[@jasonbuttler2644]

Text book? This is the crème de la crème! We used to build neighborhood ramps with 1/10 of the budget of what this must’ve cost

[@andrewfreeman88]

So awesome dude, very inspiring I feel like having 3 kids now and a ramp on the side, well done man.

[@prodbytelos3335]

and it only takes fourteen minutes! I cant believe how fast he built it

[@jim5549]

Wow! You'll have lots of new friends in the neighborhood with that ramp! Looks like you had a lot of good little helpers there already! Have fun and Stay Stoked!

[@kingcorpse1771]

This is so baller. I am going to be taking a ton of this as inspiration for the one I’ll be building. Thank you for showing all the steps and doing it right. I was trying to figure out what I’d do for the slopes but this showed how easy it can be. This is the cool stuff in life, shredding with the kiddos.

[@TheLifePhoenix]

“There’s an app for that”…. and a Pre-cut market as well 😂

[@montyswoodworkscrafts2232]

Cool build. I bought the Thrasher book of ramps several years ago and have built many small ramps for both the kids and myself

[@paulfield6815]

Great work dude, that thing looks amazing! Love that the whole family helped. Hope you guys make some awesome memories on that thing.

[@peterhalleffect2.0]

i built me one of these when i was 12, all hand made , there where no kits like this back then, i got a book threw mail order from thrasher magazine, my friend kieth and I put it together. I brought all the lumber. this ones way better than the one i built. awsome!

[@tonerz0fdubb716]

Once I own a home I’m building my own mini ramp. Nothing will be more satisfying then waking up on the weekend sipping my coffee and coming out to my own mini. I won’t stop skating till I physically can’t

[@brotherkron]

Father of the year no doubt! Very nice.

[@tm1199]

凄く良い！自宅にあったらいいなぁ😮 完璧なミニランプ👍

[@robolinoschmidt8676]

I like the stairs and the storage room inside the ramp..great work 🎉

[@kennynewell85]

I really like the additional features you added. I will have a backyard mini ramp one day.

[@chrisb561]

Gramps always said “if you can’t build a proper house at least build a proper mini ramp”. Nice ramp!

[@Adrian-rn1ym]

Beautiful ramp man !! Great job

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Nice build and camera angles. Definitely inspired to make a ramp like this one day 🤙

[@dutchinklettering405]

Awesome

[@jamesdaniels5910]

Best part was the end teaching the kiddos!!!

[@thecreaturesdancedlikeus3922]

Really rad dad! And made it look real easy, thanks

[@DechaineDechaine]

Good job it’s very nice

[@KonstantinOrekhov]

Nice guide for building mini! Thx a lot

[@DomDemolition737]

..really f****n awesome! 😱 wish I had that much space in my backyard...

[@pbondar69]

I dream of riding on Burning Man ❤😍🌴☀️

[@user-no4zg7bi8o]

It's a fine, man! It is a beautiful! You very great father!

[@WoodsPrecisionArms]

You did an AWESOME AWESOME JOB. If I can make a suggestion - if you do a lot of these the same size I would make myself a spacing jig so I could just go through and slam the braces/framing in and screw it down. Beautiful work

[@111matt]

Steveo insulated his, maybe y'all should do that! Silent ramps sound like a good selling feature lol

[@OCRamps]

Nice work, buddy! 🛠️

[@gruvin4602]

That's sick food to see parents supporting kids I as a kid built all my ramps with dads tools it was stomach fun best memory I have as a kid on my sk8

[@Vincent-Vega24]

Skating in Man Flops!!!!!! Great Video!!!!!

[@donovanpedraza]

My man did a test run in flops, respect! Good deal sir

[@shajakan2022]

Brother your new subscriber for me all the best bro.❤❤❤❤lovely work bro❤

[@BigSparky1316]

Damn what a cool pops! I bet they're so stoked to have that in their backyard.😂

[@sunkntreasure]

I like how you made little raccoon houses underneath. Thoughtful

[@AurigaMV]

Excellent work. Your videos are always visually pleasing. 😃👍

[@Ghostrob2023]

That is a cool half pipe ramp and your kids are really good at skateboarding.

[@frias2287]

Nice job👍💯

[@jasonprice1871]

Dude's been around a while when you can skate in flip flops😂 rad looking ramp brother

[@2bigbufords]

[@JustinBerke]

Brah, this video has everything! 🤙

[@HoStevie]

every groms dream: have a mini ramp in the backyard 🤙🏽

[@ItsMe-vg4vj]

Ok That would work. Nice vid

[@johnnyheidi2839]

Awesome bit of craftsmanship fella, I wish I had one just like it in my back yard, shame I live in the U.K. and it bloody pisses it down every two days .

[@Nige.]

Bet the neighbours are thrilled

[@azkatahiyyat5694]

Best dad ❤

[@eduardoceja9742]

THE DREAM

[@blackminnow8776]

Incredible 🫡🤙

[@craigevans8912]

As someone who use to build back yard and jump ramps this was very cool and therapeutic to watch. I wish you were my dad, I’m 46 years old but still 😀👊

[@chrisbryan6396]

Top lad, nice vid. Hope the kids don't run over your toes 😬😁👌

[@dirtbagzrus]

Wish my kids dad was as rad as this dad

[@ronnieserfajuan]

Fantastic!!!

Great build! Thank you

This is insane I love it

[@rat_king2801]

thats a beautiful ramp. would love one of my own.

[@CrystalClearSQL]

That's so dope! I love it.

[@margotbendheim]

Such a fun build!

[@eberhumbertovelasquez9719]

really nice job !

[@K-Vandal]

This would be a childhood dream to me ahh who am I kidding it still is lol sweet Ramp man 👏

[@sliversun4807]

Glad I subbed to this channel. This was amazing

[@wtfftw24]

🖤Masterpiece 🖤

[@erics2091]

Not a bad way to spend $4,000-$5,000. Especially with the whole family being involved. When my son gets a little older, this will be a fun project. Planning on a smaller indoor garage build. Roughly around $2,000. Eventually can build another larger half next to it.

[@231Yamadori]

I’ve been waiting to build one “for my kids” too 😂

[@frostwaffy]

Really lucky kids you have there 👍

[@daltonburg9488]

And the coolest dad award goes to..

[@defleppardsucks7595]

When did IKEA get into the mini ramp game? 🤨🤣

[@nicholasfargardo]

Your kids are lucky to have a father like you

[@MB-vk8cv]

We built a 5 ft mini ramp in my backyard in 89. Luckily for us they were building a huge Chase bank a few blocks away so they financed all the wood and screws/nails for us unbeknownst to them!

[@drummer856]

Sweet!!! Now can I come over and skate too?

[@PGHdrift]

Killer job.

[@davidmimay]

Really nice ramp! Looks amazing! Seems an easy build compared to the container xD, anyway just wanted to say hi.

[@alexinadelaide2352]

Great parenting going on around there and great building

[@mafkrimnra8084]

Cool build 😎

[@hanksyflamework]

great build i wanna build this in my living room

[@jeanettefromchina]

Wow, amazing work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@andrewfields8556]

What a cool dad man...

[@gusbean]

Kids are grown and off to college by the time ramp is finally done. 😭

[@SkatinOnTrees]

Ramp looks absolutely perfect ! Only thing I dont understand is why the coping came in 2 pieces? Is that how it came from OC ramps?

[@WaffenSSTotenkopf]

Awesome build man👌

[@MFpuddles]

What was the total material cost? And how long did it take?

[@HWG-wm8ld]

It’s strange how where I grew up, parents were not into their kids. Everything we asked for was “just a pain in my ass”. This is how you build a successful family.

[@NinjaNerosis]

Dang if i knew it only took 14 minutes to build a 1/2 pipe I'd have a full pipe in 30 minutes..

[@SwedishAviation2169]

How does this only have 5k likes 😮

[@grantd.5438]

Pretty sick ramp! One consideration (or maybe this is addressed somewhere) ~ how does humidity leave from under the ramp or is it sort of trapped there? Wonder if adding a small vent on either side towards the top of the ramp would help? (I am thinking stinky / moldy pads, helmets, and warped board prevention)

[@ibjames]

he has vents via the logo cutouts at the top of the storage areas

[@grantd.5438]

@@ibjames wonder if that is enough. I see those now though, thank you

[@gregoryh4601]

TB. So awesome to See you a Family build the Skateboard halfpipe. Does wife Skateboard too?

[@BendheimBoards]

No she’s smarter than me and avoids the high impact hobbies

[@ADOMGRAFFITI]

Eu quero uma mini-ramp dessa🔝👏

[@jodybanks5344]

Sweet

[@Stretch_Armstrong666]

You know your from California when sandals are skate shoes.

[@keithreynolds6359]

Really cool ramp. Did you clear coat the rest of the ramp also before you put the top layer on? Or you guys don't get that much rain? I live in mainland Europe. Had to sandbag my front door today to keep the water out 😂 It's hasn't been the most skate friendly summer this year so far
