6 ft would be the best length imo. 4 ft is too short to lock some grinds. 8ft is hard to transport.

dude I'm a freshman in college and i use to do so much dyi with both wood and concrete and i haven't done it in so long. I miss it and ive also been wanting to build a slapstick bit im thing to go concrete and just put in on the side walk somewhere. love it dawg.

If I were to make it again I'd use 1/2 ply and bevel the bottom where it contacts the ground instead of the 1/4". I'm sure the baltic birch stuff that Keen uses is stronger than what I had access to at Home Depot, I put my wheel through it and went flying last time I skated it lol. The 1/4 held up for about a year of semi-regular skating though, not too bad.

Nice video man, cool that you included your mistakes and all. Nice skating as well, looks like hours of fun 👍

Yeah, I feel that. If it was 6' instead of 4' I'd have probably just bought one. That said, I like woodworking and video production, so I got two fun projects out of it, plus the thing itself.

@@mattpriceplucky2646 I've only had a couple sessions on it, but so far it's holding up really well. One of the corners is chipping a little, but that may have more to do with uneven ground than the thing itself. The structure itself is really solid, so worst case scenario I replace the 1/4" plywood at some point down the road.

You should have framed it with blocks shaped like the profile every eight inches. That would save material and be more rigid. It is how the Keen ones are made.

That is sick man! I watched Cory's video where he built one and made some screen shots so I could try to make my own. My question is, where did you find coping? I can't find anything useful at the local home depot and a 4 foot piece 2" schedule 40 pipe online is like $80 plus shipping. I'm starting to see why they charge $200 for the 4' slap stick.

@thisgoestoeleven

I got my pipe from a local hardware store that cuts pipe to length, and I live in the middle of nowhere. i posted on a local "community forum" FB group and a bunch of folks suggested local places, so I'd start there.

How did you come up with the radius and height of it? I built a mini ramp a few months ago and used galvanized pipe as a temporary coping until I got my actual sch 40 steel. So I've got 2-8' pieces of pipe and have most of the material left over to build a slap stick.

@thisgoestoeleven

Жыл бұрын

for the height I copied the dimensions for the Keen Ramps original version, so it's around 6.5" from the ground to the top of the coping, I believe. For the transition, I just kind of eyeballed a curve and sanded it until I liked the look of it. It's a little whippier than I originally planned, but it's fun.

2x4s for the supports, 3/4" for the transitions (you can get 2'x2' project panels), a sheet of 1/4" for the riding surface, and 2" schedule 40 steel pipe. cost for the materials is gonna vary based on how big you build it, plus screws, drill bits, countersink, etc, hope this helps!

I drilled holes in the coping and then slightly oversized holes in a 2x2 and attached them with bolts and washers. There are some really good detailed videos on that elsewhere on youtube, I just watched a bunch of those til I had the general idea and did that.

I just sketched out a curve I liked the look of and used a sander to get the shape I wanted, so I'm not sure what the radius is. Keen Ramps did a video on their channel where they go through all the specs, and you can zoom in on the template he sketches out. That's what I did.

May soon lose my back garden mini due to my miserable, narcissistic c**t of a neighbour. So I'm going to use the materials to build an 8ft one of these to use kerbside - right outside the window........😂

I'd like to find someone to build this for me...wood shop is not my best subject to say the least. Anyone know the best way, I guess hiring a contractor that is knowledgeable of building similar things? Hard to find one on the East Coast and spending all that money for Keen Ramps to ship it to me is kinda out of the question....Wish I was better with wood shop!
