#2 FOOT MINI RAMP PLANS 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. 11 years in MN weather and it finally gave out.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. It had 4 inches of vert because we sucked at drawing transitions out, angle Iron for coping (it was 7-8 feet wide so grinds weren't happening). I had a 4 foot tall quarter that was easier to stall than ALL of the 6+ foot stuff at the local park I had at the time. Budget might also be an issue, considering the cost of lumber- a ramp like OP posted would easily be 3-5K+ in most places. You can suggest things all day long, but again, YOU aren't riding it, and if someone wants to make things you don't care for, that shouldn't be of any issue for you. So the context must've been lost there, or you took it out of a general context to reach for that "3 feet tall and too skinny" thing. It refers to being a small halfpipe when compared to vert ramp (usually 10+ tall). My era of riding, a Mini Ramp was typically 6 feet or less in height-width was not part of the generalization.
#2 FOOT MINI RAMP PLANS UPDATE#
This is a thread from last year with no update from OP. If you look, I suggested a wider spine originally and a few other things. Idk though its hard giving serious advice with all u pranksters around 5 feet is perfect cuz u don’t have to jib and why isn’t anyone listening to my extension idea? Are you all daft if this guy wants to do peg stalls 5 feet around to a 6 foot extension is perfect cuz u can do normal tricks on the 5 and the 6 will be steep enough that you lock into stalls without leaning into the deck too hard. Nah sheeps in like riverside or some shit google coda mckenna dude ripped my old local before i moved, ground was solid and the older guys’ trails shit on 50% of PA bullshit i’ve seen.Īs a little kid ripping shitty dirt jumps was so much fun im talking about shit takeoff to shit landing you don’t need a perfect ramp to have fun, fuck its honestly more fun to rip fucked up dirt jumps cuz you dont gotta cry about casing or your peg fucking anything up.īut dave you gotta understand this guy is spending 1500+ on a ramo you can’t encourage him to build something 3 feet tall and too skinny to use any of the features he wants. This option is best if you don't want to work on them, but also don't want to change them without using heavy machinery to rip them up. Some places even use the same glue that BMX tracks use. Sheep hills is a solid example of sandy trails. If you got rain in CA more often, you would have better soil for packing etc. Watering is to keep the dirt packed and not cracked.Īs to putting concrete into them, if your actual location is CA, it is likely because of the sandy soil, so it helps hold things together better. I also see carpet put on landings to minimize blowouts from casing. Raking/sweeping is because the dirt isn't always clay/great-this prevents slideouts/more damage to the lips/landings and removes the fine grit/dust so you don't slip out and put a face print into a berm. It makes less work when the rain is gone and the ground dries up. Hell, we tarp a PUBLIC dirt jump park in MN when rain is expected. Spending 85 hours a week on a foot tall ledge doing the same 3 grinds is lame.īMX rocks, quit limiting yourself to little jibby stuff everyone.ĭirt rules, and OP said he is setting some up too as transfers out of the mini.Īs to watering/raking/tarps, when you live where rain is common (that poster is from PA where rain and snow are common), tarps are NECESSARY to prevent erosion/washout of your lips/landings.
