That was great for peg tricks as well as airs. We used to do 8 foot radius on a 6 foot tall ramp. I have built a lot of quarter pipes over the years for sure.Īny pictures I would have are either lost or not in digital form.
BMX MINI RAMP HOW TO
He was a wooden boat builder so knew how to build a radius like no other dads in the neighborhood. My dad helped me build my first quarter pipe in like, 1984. I just looked at the actual dimensions and ~4ft is a super narrow landing for a spineĪnd it seems like your ramp is about ~4.5ft tall? gonna be hard to blast big airs out of a quarter that small, but def possible once you get used to your ramp. is that hip off to the side more of a landing or a launch? looks too narrow to be a fun landing, and it looks too mellow to be a good launch personally id prefer long stretches of coping than having it broken up for a roller.ħ. consider putting the roller/noping below the wallride so people learning dont have to be afraid of casing coping.Ħ. make the roller transitions small enough that you can still blast the transition like a coping'd quarterĥ. you will want the wall much further bakc from the coping once you get comfortable with quarter to wallridesĤ. the landing seems kinda narrow on that spine, make it wider for sloppy threes and a bit of travelling when you do the spine!ģ. i love how the spine is more mellow on one sideĢ. Super fun to ride, lots of options airing across it with nosebonks and shit on the roller.Īll that being said ramp looks like a blast dude good luck!ġ. If you are back and forth on the roll in, a park I rode recently had a roll in in the middle of a quarter that was up on a 2-3ft platform, about 3 ft wide, and the way it was done left a 3ft wide channel in the coping where the roll in basically went ‘through’ the coping in one little spot. That being said though, I do love doing Canadian footjams on rollers cause I’m hit or miss with them on coping haha.
BMX MINI RAMP FULL
You may end up wishing you had the full coping just for more options to ride. Casing 4.5 foot isn’t death, case it once or twice and you’ll see you won’t die lol. Getting back in from a wall a foot from coping isn’t hard at all but you might find yourself pulling away too far and landing flat with it close like that.Īlso with the roll in, you aren’t going to be airing a 4.5ft super high to begin with, 6-7 ft is where you can start boosting it a bit. There are also handy kits that include a selection of ramps and rails to get you started.Looks like a solid ramp! Another wall idea would be leaving yourself a foot or so of deck, if it’s not a vertical extension where you don’t have to pull away at all to get back in might as well go out a bit more, it’ll give you more room to work with for wall taps and everything. Ramps produced in hard-wearing, weather-proof materials are best if you don't want to be hauling them in and out of the house all the time. Look for ramps that include non-slip pads and decorative stickers for added cool.
You can also find grind rails, full-size launch ramps, four-way skate ramps and (if you have the space for it) quarter pipes and half pipes.
Just placing two launch ramps next to each other with a gap to clear can nicely up the ante.
Many of the mini ramps are suitable for children as young as five and many skaters believe it's the ideal time to learn.Īs skating confidence grows, you can progress onto some more adrenaline-fuelled skateboard ramps. Or how about a double ramp that you can skate up and down both sides? It can be an easy way to get used to launching up a ramp with the security of a get-out if need be. The smooth kicker will launch you into the air for your first taste of jumping. If you are looking for a gentle ramp to get things started, a simple single mini ramp is a great choice. And then you can get down to practising your axle drop-ins and your pivot stalls. From basic ramps for beginners to grind rails and half-pipes for more advanced skateboarders, there's plenty to choose from. You could even create a mini skate park in your garden or drive. Or earn the proud title of ‘world's coolest parent' when you buy ramps and jumps for your skate-mad kids. Practice those tricks on your own skateboard ramps and jumps and take your skateboarding to the next level.
