Essentially, our plan was two 2’ tall x 8’wide transitions facing each other with 4 panels between two layers of plywood thick and one layer of Masonite for the skating surface. When we crafted our custom miniramp plan, we took the plan for a 2’x4’ quarter pipe transition frame build with coping, doubled the width to 8’ wide, adjusted the frame build by trimming the 2×4 lengths so the surface and frame would evenly overlap, calculated how many panels we’d need between the two transitions. You may need to adapt your own dimensions spending on your available location and space. Skate happy.ĭecide the location of where you wanted to put your ramp, then measure and calculate the dimensions to make sure the ramp will fit in the space.Īfter you make sure the size ramp would fit in your space, So all of this is FREE! Enjoy!īuild yourself a mini ramp. We’re here to pass it on & just spread the helpful cool stuff because we are skaters who wanna fellow skaters to be able to do the same, like build yourself your own ramp to skate, too.
Helping skaters get to skate, do what you want with skating. We’re both so grateful we have these skills to even be able to do this and give to others this way. To be honest, Kyle & I did mull over the fact it’d be nice to be able to make money off our project and discussed the idea of selling our miniramp plans since it was our own, cost us $$$, time, energy (and a little blood) to put it together by hand, film, edit, produce the tutorial, write all this out, go through all the questions and answer them…but we just realized nah, we actually want to help people and serve our community. We answered all your questions about building our DIY mini ramp in this video! Be sure to give it a watch for any additional questions you may have, we probably covered it in that video! We also answered questions you gave us on our most recent video on “ How we built a DIY miniramp CHEAP“. The skating surface is masonite, with a wood frame + deck, and we build it on our porch so it’s covered and the base of the ramp is our porch floor. The miniramp dimensions are 2′ tall x 8 feet wide x 14’ 3” long. We did create these plans ourselves from scratch and work out the kinks for you along the way, our is still awesome and we skate it all the time. We made a straightforward video tutorial “How to make a mini ramp! ” showing you all the the steps outlined here in our plan… and we decided to share them with you for free. Once the city closed the public skatepark, we knew we’d still want to skate ramps, so we decided to take on our dream project: build a a mini ramp on our porch! We’re very grateful we were able to do it (silver lining to being stuck at home). Interested in other skateboarding accessories?

However, that requires some expertise in woodworking and metalworking. An alternative way to have a ramp or rail in your backyard is to make it yourself. Some of them require assembly while others come ready to use.
Many of the mentioned ramps and rails can be bought for home use in order to create your own skate park. Most grind rails measure approximately six feet in length. Grind rails are made of metal and usually feature a square or round shape. They can be positioned on the ground or to connect all types of ramps. What Are Grind Rails?Ī grind rail is a pipe or narrow platform often used by skateboarders to perform grinds and slides. Half-pipes are usually made from wood and are the favourite kind of ramp approached by skaters in parks. They are used to perform a trick at the top of the air and then come back down.
Quarter pipes can be made of most materials, from wood to metal, and approach a ninety-degree angle. Quarter pipe ramps and skateboard half-pipes are often seen at skateparks. Easy to transport, they consist of a bank or slope at a straight or curved angle to perform jumps. The most commonly used are launch ramps and kickers. Skate ramps, also known as skateboard ramps, are used by skateboarders to perform tricks and jumps in the air.
