We got permission to build a halfpipe in our buddies' backyard.. so we now need funds & more importantly plans! Any links to sites with free ramp plans or anything would be great!!

there is lots of plans on the net, cause i found some for a quarter we built once, just use the old google to find em

One of the best sites I've found is www.rampplans.org. Alot of the other sites you find are just the same plans that you find on all the other sites, but this one is really good step by step instructions.

oh and another point, u might want some real good wood working skills before u start cause it aint as easy as u think

CRASS · 10-27-2003, 06:52 PM

Oh i have them.. plus the house we're building at is owned by a very willing carpenter with TONS o Tools!

Only problem with those Slap plans, is that its a mini pipe. i want to build a 4-8 footer.

Maybe something like this.. the more oldskool the better.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONO go vert. make it 7feet tall with 6.5foot trannies and .5feet of vert. i made a mini and unless your just starting ramp skating you will regret not making it vert. However if mini's and shallower trannies are for you than don't let me stop you. just my 2 cents.

CRASS · 10-28-2003, 07:26 PM

I need some real vert plans.. or the phone number of Wee Willy Winkles so he can build me a ramp like Animal Chin, If he can do it once he can do it again. Maybe he could give me one of his 8-wheelers too.

i'm pretty sure thrasher has some overviews on the site. for professional blueprints you are gonna have to pay 25-50bucks for em.

those heckler plans are cool they will make you an x-games worthy ramp. myself i prefer tighter trannies. but do what ever you want to it's you ramp for a looooooong time. another thing when building it make like 4-8qp sections 4-flatbottom and BOLT it all togeather from the outside so if you ever have to move you can take it away section by section.

Found www.powellperalta.co.uk tonight. It has some good pics of the Animal Chin ramp, including pre-surfaced... 8)

If you have the space, make it bigger than a mutha' hoohaa.

I've got limited space, and wanted a small vert for tricks (stalling and flips/corked spins. I put a couple pices of plywood up to the quarter to keep it smooth.... I've got my own, but it's small. Only 4', with about 1.5' vert. If you have the space, making a ramp is easy, just get a basic layout and change the dimensions to your riding ability.

The second to last picture is me with an all terrain board, but I use that quarter for my FlowLab 32's, off road skateboards, and I've been into aggressive inline skateing for some time. It's aaaaaaaaaaaall good.

I would recomend a larger diameter coping then I used though. The coping I used fits in perfectly, but was meant to keep the egde in for a 45 degree angle grind.

enjoisoad · 11-07-2003, 07:45 PM

2.5 TRANNIE dude ive seen backyard pools mellower than that. how the frig do you skate that thing. minimum should be 5ft trannie.
