I misread ten tries as ten tires, and now I'm thinking you might be able to make a decent ramp if you go down to the junkyard and get a bunch of trash tires, then cut them up and use a wood form for shape, then layer the tires and slope them. I bet you can find shot tires for very cheap, maybe free.

Or you can buy one it will be less expensive way more portable(you’ll take it more places and have more fun) and it’s not gonna last as long.

My childhood ramp was a house door layed on top of spare wheels, just add wheels to go higher
That looks like every jump I made as a kid. Still here at 39. Hit it fast
Of course. Easy as hell. I did one for myself 👌🏻
our ramps in the 90's were all diy af and they held up really good. just make it right. or get a kid who knows how to.

... Could throw away that tape measure bro dont need thouse fore diy 90's ramps. Just a pencil and hand saw hammer and nails
I saw that coming when he stood his creation up!
I build a ramp and manual box out of bricks/cinder blocks, rotting plywood, a old bed frame, and some old rusty self tappers and nothing but a angle grinder with metal wheel and hand screw driver when i was 13 and it not only looked better but lasted almost two rears. 😂
That's the sweetest jump I ever did see!!!!😃
this is one of the best videos i’ve ever seen
Dude, Napoleon and Pedro already tried out that design!
With the cost of wood now days i priced a self build at over $200. (I have no real cutting tools so would have has to get most stuff). My husband ended up ordering the MTB Hopper Ramp online on sale for about $300. Way less stress and i can take it anywhere
there's a lot wrong with this, but let me give some tips, please secure both ends of what you're cutting to reduce vibrations, also triangles aren't strong if they're missing a side, a shocking lack of safety but I guess that's what learning is, keep at it and you'll get better
Hey Napoleon, that ramp was dynamite! You should probably just buy it.
This Guy is the funniest Mountain Biker on the internet....Hands down!
I built a transitioned kicker when I was like 15. It's really easy. Only problem these days is that plywood is stupid expensive. Still, you could build a decent sized ramp for like $100. It just won't be as portable as an MTB Hopper. With those, you are really paying for the design more than the materials.
A shovel, some dirt and some water is pretty easy if you can find the land.
As kids we would use a huge stump and nail a couple 2x4 and plywood. Those things used to last most of the summer.
Bro reading Physics when you need Woodworking and Geometry 💪
Back in the mid 70's that homemade ramp would be the talk of the neighborhood.
So much natural terrain in urban areas , you dont need a ramp, just good eyes for transition
It’s the gloves for me 🤣
sometimes it's just nice to get something designed and built for a specific purpose. especially if you don't have the greatest DIY skills
I built a ramp and it’s cheaper. I definitely suggest it
The fact that hardware stores have a whole section for hammers but not a whole section for that damn bronze bushing I need infuriates me
You can build a nice kicker for under $100 and make it as steep of chill as you want it.
That front sus just saved this man
Lol, reminds me of growing up early 80s we would balance rotting wood from pieces of cinder blocks and rocks. Then have to fix it every the jumps.

Cinder blocks were the best. They don't slide.
Stack up some cinder blocks and lay piece of plywood against
I made an MTB HOPPER LITE from 40$, it is backpackable, have been sending it for a week, still going strong.
That thing. It scares me
would have been easier if you put more than two supports on it soaked the wood so it curves and put a metal slap on the start so you get on clean without a little bump
I would like to build that. Would you mind posting the plans and/or blueprints?
I'm from the hood/city side, my friends and I would grab a shopping cart lay it on its side and get a plywood long enough to cover it.
300+ mountain of a mountain biker: 1 Wooden ramp: help me
Same thing for 30$ in ply wood just add middle supports and more back supports and it’s good to g
I have a whole bike park in my backyard it was only 5 dollars and a giant trench where I got the dirt
“What’s wrong with plywood and crates?” Nothing please continue to do that fail army needs more content
This would have worked fine. You just need more support beams
I used to use a concrete slab and a large brick as a jump.
Me and my cousin your to put a small pallet on top of some sand and we would clear out a “trail” in our backyard and we would go full speed and just send it and 80% of the time youd be okay but in that 20% you would fall down miserably
Works like a charm if u ask me
just put a good piece of wood on a cinder block and make sure its sturdy and it should work well
Where was this item purchased from? , I really want to buy it!
Tbf me and my mate made a rly good one with a door and some other junk from his house renovation
My friend did a home made mtb hopper and it works perfectly
His carpentry skills are phenomenal 👌🏼
Cinder block and piece of plywood in my driveway on my 97 gt performer, felt like flying
You can make a little booter ramp that fits in a back pack for just under 10 quid here in the uk
That's how we used to make them only with a longer piece of plywood so it would bow
Nice hair!
Nailed it! 😂
I actually made an exact copy of the Hopper-lite for like $150 CAD. (HANDMADE)
I remember when I was a kid I made one out a rock and a piece of wood 😂 learned a valuable lesson when the rock rolled over and I ate shit
One time use,love it.
I started geeking when I saw the final product lol then he tried to hit it lololol
Amazing. Do you do your own stunt work?
TBH if that's the level of your construction skills then buying one will need to be your only option!
Keep on trying that one wasn't bad, it at least allowed you to get a little air
1990s, I bent the handle bars on my mums bike and popped the tyres, hitting a big jump I built using shipping pallets. I'm sure it was 10 pallets high 🏥🤟
