When a carpenter and a skateboarder get mixed together you get a very entertaining video

Those diagonal Masonite reminds me of those pilsbury biscuits or cinnamon roll cans that pop when they open up.

Ben: "This ramp is thirtythree ellbows and six bananas long and fifty six hands high" Europeans: "ok"

Whoa! This guy helped me do drywall work in the spring and here we are at mini ramps 6 months later! Good to see ya, Ben!

Pro building tip, instead of drilling in the coping the way you did, you can get some allthread, and bend a little 90 degree lip on the end, stick it in the whole and drill a hole behind it in the 2x4 and bolt it in from under the deck, it works very well and there will be no holes showing or to possibly get caught up on. looks great though with the slanted Masonite, I love doing that

RIP those windows 🤣👍 love it. My Dad and brother built one in my backyard when I was a kid. Good times 💕

Better than a home gym and cheaper too probably too. That's fantastic exercise.

I just realize that Skater & Carpenter is the perfect combination! You can build ramp and shred it. Awesome dude I wish I live near you.

I wanna learn on something just like this but every skatepark near me refuses to build a small mini. All gnarly or nothing in all 10 parks.

Matt Vis did this in the ‘80s. In a rental house! Named it “Genie Skatepark”. Plywood over the front window. It was awesome.

Back when I was 14/15 I build a mini with a spine in my parents basement that also had a vert wall/ sub box off to one side and a quarter through the hall into the other room. In the garage we had a full bowl setup with 2 pocket airs, a wall ride over the death gap in another corner and a very wall. Everything was super tight and only like 2’-6” tall. Built it all during a weekend when my dad went on vacation with his brothers and dad to our vacation home in Minnesota. Let’s just say he wasn’t overly pleased when he came home. More pissed we cut 2 rafters out of the garage to fit the vert walls, but I got to keep it all. PS we had a unfinished basement that just had walls and 2 rooms.

This man is the embodiment of positive masculinity.

love this guy ! stay positive bless you and the family !

Nice touch on that door knob in the ply wood.

Micro mini ramps are so much fun when you have the space to put them, more so in a garage or shed, like mine is, so then regardless of the weather outside, or anything else, you can just go have a roll whenever you like. Small tight transitions are also more challenging so you can really push things if you want to, or mellow it all out a bit and have a good learning ramp or a place to chill, although having it too mellow can be very dull.

Overall you did a really good job It's a dream to have something like this in your home. Been enjoying all your videos I learned alot good tips from you Keep it up man!

Looks pretty good man. Love the angled masonite sheets.

Haven't seen the vid yet but if I can have a mini skatepark in my house someday my life will be complete. Just food, water, enough $ to cover my basic needs, I'd be set

I would for sure cover those windows somehow, it's only a matter of time before they get broken by a flying board.

Awesome project man, love it. And I think we can all agree, unless there's blood squirting out its not a real finger rol!! Hahaha, glad little dude is ok 👍

Love your videos and love the always positive attitude you have.

I despise cathedral ceilings, but a beautiful Roman arch in the floor.. Now we're talking.. So glad your buddy couldn't be convinced that it was a bad idea.. It won't be long before mini Degros describes his dad's and uncles best tricks as super "outdated"..

Growing up is awesome u get to build ramps in your own house

That lil mini is great for a workout sesh!! Be sweating really quick!!

Great job brother.. I’m in the middle of building my 10 ramp on the side of my driveway.. probably the last one I’ll have .. great work again 💯💯💯

Dude you did a sick job man . That mini looks really fun 🔥

Better than a dining room set.

Nice work especially for the space. I immediately thought that was a gap too. I've built a number of ramps in my garage: Started with 5' tranny, 34" tall. Very serious, not as easy as I thought. Intended on masonite but sawdust from woodworking made me go with birch which may be the GOAT surface, but 4x the price. 16 years later and I'm on ramp # 4: 6' transitions and barely 2' tall and it's my favorite iteration. Almost went with 5.5' and definitely would have if flat bottom length was a factor. But I can still deck a rock/disaster on it, and it's mellow enough to still learn new things even in my early 50s. I gravitate to quick transitions at parks, but I can jump on this ramp and have a casual sesh whenever, I don't have to work myself up to skate it, which is important because I have no idea how I got this old.

Awesome, looks like a fun mini ramp to skate...

OMG! Amazing work Mr Degros 👍😊

I think being a carpenter is the most manly job

You're a ledgend mate, props from new zealand!

Great job Ben For a small ramp, it looks like it skates bigger!

this process looks fun

Love the 5.5 foot transition. Built a 4 foot mini in 1995 with a 5.5 transition. Was a bit to steep for a 4 foot high ramp though and cut it down to 3 foot. Was so perfect!!!. Only 3 foot high but was still fast because of the tight transition which made it way more fun than a pancake transition. I'd say that is the perfect transition for 3 foot. Also when i first had it at 4 foot high i put a 2 foot extension on it with a bout half a foot of vert to do airs.

This is amazing... now I want to build one in mine!

I shared this vdeo on a Minirampers Group page.. Have a backyard concrete ramp here at my house for 13yrs now, still solid af. But for rainy season here like this, moss infested

Ben great work! i really like your building videos. Do you think about any home-project series? it would be awesome :D so have a good day!

That’s crazy sick man

Thanks for including the great sesh! There’s really not much better than a chill little mini ramp edit imo.

So sick. With the windows and natural light. Oh how much fun it would be with the snow outside. Can i come thru this winter?

I hear you on how tedious ramp building can be when you're in the process, but for me I still love building ramps. Maybe because I'm not a carpenter for a living, so breaking out the tools and making something is less of a common activity for me. Especially building something that big. Satisfying to go from your design to a completed ramp though.

That’s deadly haha imagine having this to mess around on. Too fun

Nice job bro👍 best set up always ready to skate 👍

That looks perfect 🤩

That's amazing dude!! Xx

Nice work! looks super fun!

Nice work dude. sickk! I'd love to build another mini ramp one day. My buddy is extending his vert ramp right now another 15 feet wider from 30 feet wide I'm gonna help sink some screws

Hey:). Amazing wirk. So how expensive where all the materials to build the entire thing and howlong did it take in hours?

Nice work G!!!

Holy shit! Amazing. Hilarious. Beautiful.

Really cool! I'm not a transition guy, so this looks like the perfect size, to me. 😄

You should see the mini-park my friend built in his parking space! Super quick transitions, short verts. You gotta bring your A-game.

What about putting ply on the ceiling for when you inevitably slip out and launch your board into orbit?

Super tight mines only got 4 ft of flat but 20 ft x 3fr something. You did a good job Ben. Holy shit that would be get to have a mini inside

i used to only like the building part when i started skating i would actually consider myself more involved with construction then but over time it’s become less enjoyable and the skating has really taken over

“N”oping hahha never heard that one before. Nice build man! Looks like fun and what skater doesn’t low key wish they had a miniramp in their house

Looks fun. My friend in Kamloops built a mini in his basement around this size.

This is so on my bucket list!

Love a good montage thanks ben

Great job!

Loved the video!

What is the best transition radius for a 3’6 mini in your opinion? Thanks for all the great videos!

I need to talk to my wife about remodeling.

I had a friend in High school that had a big(about 25x20,I think) open unfinished room with high ceilings (like 9-10ft) behind their garage on a 2 story house that wasn't being used for anything. His mom was pretty chill ,and we asked if we could build something in there, and she said sure,ok. We made the Entire room into a ramp (halfpipe) about 4-5 ft tall on one side and the other was just a quarter to wallride. It was fun times when it rained or was cold. This was back in the early 90s , and I built a Lot of ramps in my day back then.

miniramp footage is what I love!

Sick video Ben! You can use the GoPro to film yourself in the miniramp if you still got it

Low and wide thats a fun ramp.

As always quality video Ben. :)

love vids

I see you rocking a new pair of the cariumbas I can’t wait to try a pair

Holy F dudeee A+++++ would watch again

Awesome ramp! I have a garage about that size and am thinking about putting a little ramp in. Is that roll out deck big enough for blunt to fakies?

Really great build. You're quite the perfectionist. You're worried about one screw being off, I'd have screws all over the damned place.

The moment you said "here's a little video montage of the build", a youtube add cut in, with women twerking and some dude rapping. I thought you'd trolled us before I realised it was an ad.

Old people skating like children is so wholesome to watch hahaha

That’s crazy!!! So cool.

That is awesome! What are pros/cons of different radii on transitions?

Should have put rockwhool insulation all up under the ramp, it helps really well to keep the noise down, also I see drywall damage coming lol. cool though

Wow, that’s is a dream house, btw is it just the camera or is the transition really mellow?

Such a cool video

Dude your amazing

This is awesome

Cool! Did you put the Masonite slick side up? I put it rough side up because it seemed too slippery the other way, I might switch it later once they get used to it. I also made it too narrow and need to make it wider

long time, none interactive viewer but, love to hear you review a "welcome" skateboards deck. As an older skater myself i was hesitant at first but, Nora Vasconcellos decks actually rip. and its a great shape once you can get past how it looks. maybe even just take a look. take care and may your next session be your best

My brother had a bowl in his living room 13 years ago. It doubled as my bed.
