![]() ![]() Don't choose a transition based on available materials alone, or you'll end up with a ramp you hate skating just to save costs of the additional deck supports. Once you decide on your transition needs, then you can work out whether your materials will allow for a deck space or if you'll need to add that using the 2x4 approach. I'd suggest somewhere in the 6'-8' range, but it really comes down to what's "too" much/little for you, Goldilocks. a big radius), or a tight little steep one where you're being thrown upwards really quick (a small radius) or something in the middle? I assuming you want something in the middle. How will you know if it is either of those things? Have you skated some ramps/parks and thought "This is too steep!" or "This is too flat!"Īre you aiming for a mellow little mini where you can hardly even rock on the coping (i.e. You want it "not too steep and not too flat", regardless of deck design. I'm not really sure how your opening bit about the deck structure makes any difference to what sort of transition you want. Tldr: Need help deciding on transition for 3ft tall mini. So to all of you mini ramp building veterans out there, what radius length should I use so that my mini ramp won't be too steep and won't be too flat? I want to find the perfect radius length for my transition. Because of this, I am scared shitless to start cutting the transition on my ply because I don't want too much or too little transition. We have everything we need, but I haven't been able to decide on how to make the transition.Ī lot of ramp plans out there switch back and forth from having a transition that leaves about a three foot long space for the deck on the side ply to having 4-8 in of space and then using 2x4s to build the deck outwards from the plywood. My friends and I have recently bought all of the supplies that we need to start building the frame of a 3ft tall/24 ft long/12 ft wide mini ramp. I'm a long time lurker of r/skateboarding and I've never posted anything, but I need y'alls help.

El objetivo es que el coste sea cero (como mínimo habrá que gastar en tornillos). No snowboarding, snow skating, trampoline skating, ripstick, scooter, longboarding, etc. Aquí iré poniendo los pasos que voy siguiendo en el proyecto de construcción de una Mini Ramp usando madera de Pallets y materiales desechados por otros. Your post must contain videos and/or pictures of skateboarding Concrete blocks are also useful for levelling a surface if you are building on dirt or grass.Discord for r/Skateboarding here Submission Rules: 1. Coping is up to you on material but I would recommend using fence posts as a cost-effective option although there are several more expensive steel options out there. In my case I decided to use 2 layers, followed by a coating of weatherproofing stain as well as weatherproofing paint that made the ramp smooth enough as would have been if using a masonite or other final surface. 3/8 inch plywood is used to cover the surface and 2 layers should be added for structural stability and durability as well as an optional top surface. sections that would be leftover after cutting to size. 2x4 treated lumber because it was cheaper and I have use for the 4 ft. Lumber should be acquired according to your specifications. 3/4 inch plywood will be used for the sides (you can get 2 transition pieces from a single 4x8 ply so if you only have one section you will need 2 pieces). Being 10 feet wide and bracing in the middle I decided to use one section rather than two. When building a miniramp, best practice is to divide any ramp width by two if it exceeds 8-10 feet (for example if you want to build a miniramp that is 12 feet wide you would make two 6 foot wide and connect them together) to maintain rigidity. In this case, I wanted to create on that would fit a space at the back of my yard, giving me an area of 10 ft. Depending on the size that you decide to build, materials will vary. The miniramp dimensions are 2 tall x 8 feet wide x 14’ 3 long.
