forton hahahaha. It’s a bit of a tight curve to the bottom 😂

Good work. I would make some suggestions. 12’ span for 2x4 is a lot. I would make 4 sections 6’ wide yo give you more structure. Also traditionally the top layer is 2 layers of 1/2” ply and the the final riding surface (1/4 inch sanded marine birch ply. Looks good. It would be great to get an update after some time to see how it hold up.

@@LukeMaximoBell1 I used to have a mini ramp, I used the wood protection coating/paint and 2 tarpaulins to cover it up but the wood still got messed up, the rain would eventually start to seep through the tarps. My advice would be to make sure the tarpaulin is very thick and definitely look into getting this waterproof sheet stuff (can't remember what it's called) that you will layer over the ply wood. This stuff also makes it smoother to skate and no splinters! Although I live in England so.. maybe rain isn't as big a problem for you as it was for me. Nice video!

Awesome ramp and great video!! Could you explain a little more in depth how you were using the clear tube with water to get the ramp leveled. I’m from California and I’ve built several ramps but that is a new way to get level. I love that but I don’t fully understand how it works. Thanks in advance

@LukeMaximoBell1

4 жыл бұрын

Sure thing. Basically if you fill a tube with water. Because of how gravity works when the water is settled, it will be at the same exact level on either side of the tube. You can make a tube 300 feet long and once the water settles, it will be exactly the same height at both ends of the tube. Pretty awesome! So it’s great for leveling over long distances.

You have to paint it to protect it from bad weather

The good thing is when you fall it'll have a lot of Give to it, you shouldn't hurt yourself too bad. Looks good but it was engineered completely bad You would have to have 2 / 12 every foot almost.
