bballard9606 · 10-31-2009, 04:49 PM

looks sick. can u pm me how u did it. i wanna see how i can redo one.

nickypoo · 10-31-2009, 04:54 PM

sick

Looks good and strong. Did you leave a wheel system on it to haul it around easier? That osb board might not last very long if you leave the ramp outdoors uncovered. I covered mine w/treated plywood and rolled some floor paint on for some traction and more protection.

gfleck067 · 10-31-2009, 07:00 PM

we built the ramp for 14.01$ all we had to buy was the steel mesh from the hardware store
fast88 (dano) had all the metal and everything else in his garage

the wheels are for to move it around easier when we start to hit it and figure out wwhere it is prime launching location

and ballard i will send you how we did it tomorrow

gfleck067 · 10-31-2009, 07:01 PM

i will also put pictures of it finished on here when i get them

bballard9606 · 10-31-2009, 07:04 PM

alright cool. thx. i built one but didnt do ir anything like that.

what store didu get the mesh from? they wanted 50 bucks when i went!

gfleck067 · 10-31-2009, 07:08 PM

alll the mesh is is in the lawn and garden spot at your hardware store it is like a tomato fence or something like that 24 inches wide by 15'

and the ramp will be inside danos garage

monaghan · 10-31-2009, 07:49 PM

do you really need an arrow to point you the right way haha

fast88 · 10-31-2009, 10:53 PM

there are still a few more photos to come just have to upload them
and yes the arrows are completely necessary

chris140 · 11-01-2009, 03:35 AM

looks sweet, i'd be interested to hear how you guys built it too, i can't get my head round drawing the right transitions!?

get some pics/vids of you guys hitting it!

gfleck067 · 11-01-2009, 09:52 AM

how we got the transition required no math or plans wat so ever dont draw it out just build a frame for the bottom ours is 28"x100" and wanted it 4' tall
build the frame then weld the 3'11" vertical bars to the back of the frame
take a long piece of string ( the stuff from a kite will work good) tape the string to the vertical support at the back of the frame and run it to the front of the frame that you made
DO NOT MAKE IT TIGHT you will have no lip slowly have your buddy let some slack in the string untill you have the lip or transition you were looking for then tape the string down so it does not move and do NOT hit the string when you are building it will throw it all off

that is how we built ours

LongMooie · 11-01-2009, 02:56 PM

Im a fabricator/welder and have always wanted to build a ramp but not sure i got the balls to hit it lol never got my head around gaps!!!! yeah yeah im a pussy lol
for those wanting to build a ramp hit up your local steel supplys 1"x1" box section sould cost around $1.50 per foot
so that will give you a rough idea of cost
expanded mesh is whats used on fmx ramps but thats expensive

aj191 · 11-01-2009, 03:01 PM

50 degree angle

twosmoke30 · 11-01-2009, 03:04 PM

that particle board looks sketchy

gfleck067 · 11-01-2009, 04:43 PM

how does it look "sketchy" twosmoke we hit it today in fast88s back yard and it was only at like 6 foot gap we kinda threw together a landing out of wood just to hit it and everything held up good

gfleck067 · 11-01-2009, 04:52 PM

the first 3 pics are of me
the last 3 are of dano (fast8

so before everyone goes makin fun of us because the gap is so small is because the bike (aka shortbus) is a stock 50 with cam intake and carb and pipe i shock and bbr sp5 forks and we barely could click 2nd gear that is about the farthest we could go

when we get our good bikes back together we will go bigger so ya

monaghan · 11-01-2009, 05:02 PM

looks like fun but also looks sketchy
i somtimes wonder why some people do the things they do

twosmoke30 · 11-01-2009, 05:03 PM

no man i was just saying particle board is probably not the best when it comes to building stuff, because when it gets wet it just crumbles, i wasn't bashign you guys at all, the ramp itslef looks really well built its just the wood i was worried about
