BEFORE COMMENTING PLEASE READ THIS. Yes I was not very good at scootering when I made this video. I made this ramp to improve, which I have a lot since I made this video. So if everybody could stop complaining about my scootering that would be great :D It just takes a lot of time to respond to all of the same comment over and over again. Thank you for watching my video :D
joseph arleo Nah your fine, it's not too personal. I can't talk about my other parent though cause the story is not finished unfolding, I hope that sentence makes sense. When I do a draw my life (I think someday I will be able too) I will (hopefully) explain that story though.
Well done! Anyone posting negative comments on your scootering is just a hater who doesn't have the initiative (or the means) to make their own ramps in order to get better. I'm 36 years old and watching this video to get tips on how to build my own quarter/half pipe. Well done to you, young man! Keep on scooting.
For the sides you should use pressure treated plywood, it will look like CDX that is green. Nasty stuff but it dose not rot. If it will be elevated off the ground you can use any exterior grade 3/4" plywood, CDX will be cheaper but wont look as good, I would recommend not using ACX tho. If you want a nicer ply I would use BCX. here is some more info about plywood if you want to look at it: www.diyskate.com/info_wood.html
you are so smart, i kinda lost you in the technical stuff but amazing ramp! i would pay for one of those. and why TF do people go on about how "youre so bad at scooting" because thats the point in making ramps, to get better.... duhhhhh!!!!!! plus youre parents must be so cool!!! :)
Is the masonite needed or does it just make it smoother Also where do you buy the coping or whatever you called that metal pipe at the edge of the top of the ramp
It just makes it smoother, it is not necessary. For the metal look online for metal yards or metal fabrication places if you just need like 8' of steel go to a metal fabrication place. If you buy from a wholesaler you will need to buy it in 24' pieces btw. You should not pay more then like 1$ per lb I believe.
this is a sweet little build!! and makes riding progress so much easier in the comfort of your own driveway ahaha (have seen this is three years ago, youve come a long way since then!!!!) we just make a quater out of a few old trampoline frames and welded it together. used to have wood ones but the weather just destroyed them after a year and got sick of rebuilding them ahaha. metal frame should stop that problem
@@alexwaln1053 yeah its held up pretty good!! people were throwing them out anyway and with this whole virus thing, skateparks were closed ahaha. figured we'd may as well build one
Thanks! The ramp cost about 80-100$ at the time, it would be a little more now with new taxes. Regarding your other comment, the halfpipe would of cost about 51,500$ if it wasn’t for insurance. 1,500$ of that for the ramp, 50,000$ for the subsequent hospital visit for the broken bone lol 😂. Thank god for health insurance. But really though, it was about 800$ for plywood, 300-400$ for 2x4s, and about 100-200$ for screws and bolts. I got the coping for free, or else that would of added a bit more to the price. And as you can guess by the medical bill price, this is all in the USA, more specifically in range of a menards, Home Depot or Lowe’s will be 10-20% more.
The noises of him cutting to each time he drilled a screw in I was shaking my head like it was music. You should start a band bro you will call them the true tradie blues
Plywood, 2x4's, metal pipe or pvc pipe and a threshold material, preferably metal but iv'e heard plastic can also work, I'm going to make a more in depth video about making ramps soon :D
that ramp doesn't have a threshold but if you made a ramp that needed it I would use 11 to 8 Gauge sheet metal, go to a metal fabrication company to get it. It shouldn't cost a whole ton I'm guessing for a ramp,(It shouldn't be more then 20$ In the US) I get it from someone I know at a metal fabrication company, but they can normally get it for really cheap since they work there.
You know you could've had the metal shop cut the pipe for you or the hardware store so you didn't have to go out and buy a saw. Also how are you going to grind from one quarter pipe to the other?
Thank you for this I'm thinking of making a ramp coz I do scooters can you build a spine ramp because I'm thinking of building a half pipe with a spine in the middle
Lol ya, It is always kinda funny to see people that take time out of their day to h8 on other people. They must be REALLY board to take time out of their day to do that. (Unless it's for a good cause)
Good job man, very informative. I got it in my head today that I want to attempt to build a quarter piper this spring and i'll for sure be watching this for reference. You've probably already answered this, but how much were all the supplies(minus tools)?
You’ve probably seen me before but I don’t like seeing people hate on you don’t care about them Alex good videos and your smart as hell. ( how do you afford all your tools tho?)
Beat_Hazard111 Thank you! Ya, there is never a shortage of haters. Fortunately my mom finds phycology interesting, so she's thought me how to have some tough skin. One thing she would always say is, people that are satisfied w their life bring people up. People that aren't , bring people down. TBH it's really true. Btw I can't afford all the tools I use, a lot of them are my dads. You don't need many tools to do stuff tho, you can build a whole ramp just with a drill, a framing square, tape measure and a jigsaw. Fun fact, you can build a whole house with those 4 tools also, no joke, it's not easy, but definitely possible.
Thats awesome! The first thing of anything almost always looks ghetto, its just part of learning. Trust me, my first things did too. The great thing is, if you ever want to remake it, you typically just need new sides, and the surface. You can reuse the 2x4s generally
I started to watch this video and I didint watch Howe match you have subs and after I watched the video I thought you have 100.000 subs but you have only 1000 you deserv more subs!! Keep making these videos I love them bro🤛
It's a custom scooter. Here is a list of the parts: Grips: bit.ly/LuckyGrips Bars: bit.ly/EnvyReaperBars Clamp: bit.ly/TiltClamp Headset: bit.ly/EnvyHeadset Forks: bit.ly/EnvyForks Deck: bit.ly/LuckyEvoDeck Wheels: bit.ly/RootAirWheels I hope that helps! :D
Awesome! Been skateboarding for 16 years and just got two things to say. 1) Ignore the haters, you're doing a hella good job, and it doesn't matter that you scooter. We all the same and real skaters won't hate on a scooter rider. 2) Make sure to sand the edges where you cut the plywood! One close fall and you're gonna have the splinter of your life. Have fun and keep doing what you're doing man.
I know this is old, but did you make a custom build for your scooter because you should start out scootering with an Envy Prodigy Complete those are about $200. Just a tip, but the video is great! Keep up with what you do!

ButteryToast I actually got a really good deal on everything and only paid about 50 USD for the ramp :D
ur scooter is gay and u stink switch to bmx or skate boarding its better and are guy's sports not trans sports
Alex Waln ppppppp
+jack phoenix obviously if the x and skateboarding holds a lot douche bags like you, I understand why there is scootering.
yeah for gay kids like u
Your parents must be cool af
alexis flores by far the best comment I've seen all day! One of my parents is amazing and encourages me to do what I love. so yes, I agree😀
lol..XD
same life
Alex Waln what about the other one? (Sorry if its too personal)
joseph arleo Nah your fine, it's not too personal. I can't talk about my other parent though cause the story is not finished unfolding, I hope that sentence makes sense. When I do a draw my life (I think someday I will be able too) I will (hopefully) explain that story though.
Or they are mean and they dont care what he does :D
Just a quick tip, when you go down the ramp, lean forward more because if you lean back you'll fly out
Thanks :D Ya I can mostly drop in right on smaller ramps but for some reason my 3' ramp kinda sketches me out...
Calvin Quick I learned that the hard way
Kevin Merritt same
Just lean back, and do backflip
my first drop in was a slide in on a 6 foot quarter hopefully you get better
"Im gonna skate it now"... pulls out a scooter XD
Lol! I always wonder what I should call it. I would say "I'm gunna scoot it now" But that sound stupid, lol!
LostLV Thanks! That does make the most sense to say
lol
say im gonna scoot it
Manny Garcia right 😭
Well done! Anyone posting negative comments on your scootering is just a hater who doesn't have the initiative (or the means) to make their own ramps in order to get better. I'm 36 years old and watching this video to get tips on how to build my own quarter/half pipe. Well done to you, young man! Keep on scooting.
For the sides of a quarter pipe would u use cdx grade plywood or bc grade plywood?

Ya rather use pressure treated ply wood
Alex Waln good thinking just lean forward going down a ramp and not back
you are super familiar with power tools even being really young, *congrats*
Davide De Cicco Vuolo lol I can use all of those because they are rally common tools but I don’t have them
Jack Theriault shut up stop bragging
@@tylerwa7503 yeah jack shut up kinda late
This dude has such a bright future
Danny Beardwood better wear shades
Danny Beardwood brighter than my white thighs
He scooters so no he doesnt
Max dibble unless youre kidding and i just dont get the joke
@@maxdibble4169 no actually take a look at someone like ryan williams he's a pro scooter rider and he's also a millionaire
Good job
you are so smart, i kinda lost you in the technical stuff but amazing ramp! i would pay for one of those. and why TF do people go on about how "youre so bad at scooting" because thats the point in making ramps, to get better.... duhhhhh!!!!!! plus youre parents must be so cool!!! :)
Alice Lee you can even spell
Troll Brothers that’s not that nice he was just making a nice comment
He’s better then me at scooters
7:20 anyone else thinks this sounds like somone shooting a dinosaur then the dinosaur roars
How much did the materials cost you ?
About 50$
Is the masonite needed or does it just make it smoother
Also where do you buy the coping or whatever you called that metal pipe at the edge of the top of the ramp

You deserve more subs man you are ace
Mx Taylor Haha thanks!
Youre nice
This kid knows what hes doing, wow. Impressed👏👍
Thanks!
Bro sweet ramp what did you use to film?
Thanks :D for that video I think I just used a canon 70D with a canon 10-22 mm lens and a rode videomic pro.
A potato

this is a sweet little build!! and makes riding progress so much easier in the comfort of your own driveway ahaha (have seen this is three years ago, youve come a long way since then!!!!) we just make a quater out of a few old trampoline frames and welded it together. used to have wood ones but the weather just destroyed them after a year and got sick of rebuilding them ahaha. metal frame should stop that problem
Thanks! That’s a really good idea to re-purpose an old trampoline in to a ramp.
@@alexwaln1053 yeah its held up pretty good!! people were throwing them out anyway and with this whole virus thing, skateparks were closed ahaha. figured we'd may as well build one
Kid: "I'm going to skate it now"
Me: "u can't skate on a scooter"
Skater for life
skateboarder?
Hey dude well done!! 9.1k subs that’s a great achievement btw how much did it cost this will really help :D thanks dude keep up the good work.

How did the 4 wheeler move at 10:59
So this ramp is 3ft tall x 4ft wide with a 6ft radius? Curious cuz I'm making a similar ramp :D
Yes! Btw if it's 3' tall or taller I would recommend to make it at least 6'-8' wide. (unless its just a ramp to get speed)
why is he so much fun to watch and so awesome
Your going to have a skatepark in your backyard soon 🤣
XISTENT he does🤣
The noises of him cutting to each time he drilled a screw in I was shaking my head like it was music. You should start a band bro you will call them the true tradie blues
When you said I'm making this ramp to improve I was like bra I learned all my tricks flat
@Thompson #18 it's only the truth
The sad thing is u talk so much trash yet u have less subs than him
lmao i clicked on this video skipped half way through to hear the kid say i just figured out how the saw works. 6:10
U were awesome and very smart ! So u must be totally AWSOME now and a freaking genius now !
"Skate it" 😂😂😂😂🤣
You are super creative I’m going to like the vid
Great video man and ignore the haters ‘, ;•)
Also ur genuinely smart
What materials do you need to make the quarter pipe
Plywood, 2x4's, metal pipe or pvc pipe and a threshold material, preferably metal but iv'e heard plastic can also work, I'm going to make a more in depth video about making ramps soon :D
You really have a talent for building ramps
I like your Chanel and it’s cool, and I like that you do the work yourself and not have your parents do it! Nice
12:06 “weee! Oh gosh!
What is threshold made of and where did you get it from
that ramp doesn't have a threshold but if you made a ramp that needed it I would use 11 to 8 Gauge sheet metal, go to a metal fabrication company to get it. It shouldn't cost a whole ton I'm guessing for a ramp,(It shouldn't be more then 20$ In the US) I get it from someone I know at a metal fabrication company, but they can normally get it for really cheap since they work there.
How did you do all that by yourself?? Sooo sick! Also I Subscribed
Thanks man! It's really not too hard to build a ramp by yourself, just takes a little bit of planning, or some clamps :D
Nice job. Be proud. Let the haters hate that’s their only capability ! Be strong and start skateboarding 😉
“Oh I’m gonna skate down it” 8:06 and yet he’s scootering
You know you could've had the metal shop cut the pipe for you or the hardware store so you didn't have to go out and buy a saw. Also how are you going to grind from one quarter pipe to the other?
I like that he builds a ramp he has trouble riding level your ramp to your comfort man
How wide were those bars
The only thing that would make this video better would be if he replaced the scooter with a skateboard
if people want to scooter they can scooter if people want to skate they can skate it doesn't matter unless your having fun
No doubt
Skateboarder give scooters nothing but grief
Halo1840 yeAh
ITZ THE GAMER HERE Because skateboards are better why wouldn’t we
Good job , honestly impressed.
Thanks!
When you were transporting the saw you should have sat on the scooter and rode it down the hill!
Haha Yes!!! I really should of done that!!! :D
Alex Waln damn you replied so quick!
Thank you for this I'm thinking of making a ramp coz I do scooters can you build a spine ramp because I'm thinking of building a half pipe with a spine in the middle
I might one day :) I just need more space, and more money XD
Sicc Memes Boi
Lol :D
Ur good at building stuff damn
Why do you build stuff but not ride it
Dr. banana Boy because building is fun que bob the builder
This kid deserves way more subs
9:22 hahaha 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Jorja Rogers its just him trying to start it you probs couldnt start it midget
how much did all of the wood cost
who else thinks he needs to cut his nails🤣😅🤣
Well done, very skilled at such a young age
Thank you my dude
cool
Sina _htzlr Thanks!
Y’all don’t hate he is skillful I bet you can’t even build a 1 inch ramp made of wood this is amazing if he built this all by himself
Thank you my dude!
who ever disliked this vid does not have a life:(
Lol ya, It is always kinda funny to see people that take time out of their day to h8 on other people. They must be REALLY board to take time out of their day to do that. (Unless it's for a good cause)
jep those h8ers probably can use there time better XD
Pelle Alders ya
Alex Waln nice vid, this may offend you but can I call you Alex walnut :D
Ben Matthews XD don't worry, I'm not offended by that :D
How much did it cost for all the wood that you used to build it
About 40-60$
Good job man, very informative. I got it in my head today that I want to attempt to build a quarter piper this spring and i'll for sure be watching this for reference. You've probably already answered this, but how much were all the supplies(minus tools)?
May you please write down the measurements of the ramp. Thank you!
ICONIC Joudi agree please do
Can u please*
You’ve probably seen me before but I don’t like seeing people hate on you don’t care about them Alex good videos and your smart as hell. ( how do you afford all your tools tho?)

I built a ramp the other day because of you with a jig saw and drill it’s ghetto but still works
Thats awesome! The first thing of anything almost always looks ghetto, its just part of learning. Trust me, my first things did too. The great thing is, if you ever want to remake it, you typically just need new sides, and the surface. You can reuse the 2x4s generally

Thank you! I will continue to make videos for a long time :D
What do you film with
Mostly a canon 70D w a 10-22mm lens and a rode vidmic pro, links in description :)
Your house and yard is so cool
What kind of metal pipe is that
How long did it take you to make that
about 2 days
One question how the hell did you get a saw
But how do you know where to put the nail for your radius
So if you want a 6' radius measure up 6' from the bottom of the plywood and put the nail there.
Did that make sense?
Alex Waln ohhh ok thansk
I'm happy to hear I could help😀
this kid is so young yet he can build what some adults can't.
How do you have holes in your shoes? You don’t skate, do you?
I skateboard sometimes, I just am better at scootering so that's what I record.
Awesome bro love this
Thank you! :D
Hey Alex Waln This video was a great video u are a very awesome kid!
Thank you! :D
you seem smart, and good at editing, good video dude
Thank you!
You are so creative and smart
this dude has everything
How much money does it take you to build this quarter pipe ?
At the time that quarterpipe cost about 60$ in materials. Wood prices have gone up a little bit where I live, so that would be about 100$ to make now
SICK Ramp dude, super impressed by this for your age
Thank you!
How much does it cost to make that
Like your scooter set up it's so good and u really smart making a real nice job keep up the great work
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. It was super helpful!!!
No problem! I’m happy it was useful
I’m sorry this comment is 2 years late lol but where do you get your materials and can you maybe list the dimensions in the description?
How long did this take
I think about 16 hrs
Why do you have reaper bars and evo deck when you suck at scootering? But I like your video, and it helped me build my quarter pipe
Nice videos I like this one and I just subscribed
Wat scooter do you use?
It's a custom scooter. Here is a list of the parts:
Grips: bit.ly/LuckyGrips
Bars: bit.ly/EnvyReaperBars
Clamp: bit.ly/TiltClamp
Headset: bit.ly/EnvyHeadset
Forks: bit.ly/EnvyForks
Deck: bit.ly/LuckyEvoDeck
Wheels: bit.ly/RootAirWheels
I hope that helps! :D
How thick is the osb??
It was 3/4 inch thick. I would recommend using just normal 3/4" plywood instead of OSB.
Awesome! Been skateboarding for 16 years and just got two things to say. 1) Ignore the haters, you're doing a hella good job, and it doesn't matter that you scooter. We all the same and real skaters won't hate on a scooter rider. 2) Make sure to sand the edges where you cut the plywood! One close fall and you're gonna have the splinter of your life. Have fun and keep doing what you're doing man.
How much money did it cost to build it
I think about 75$ at the time. Now with the new tariffs in the US for wood from Canada, it would now be more around 150-200$.
Wow this is rlly impressive nice work
Thank you! :D
Your a beast!! How did you build that!!
Hey how much did all that cost because if I’m going to make one I have a budget
Is there a reason you scooter was like 300 dollars before you could drop a 3 ft ramp just saying. nice parts I'm running reaper bars as well
GREAT VIDEO MAN!!
Thanks! :D
Keep up the good work
I know this is old, but did you make a custom build for your scooter because you should start out scootering with an Envy Prodigy Complete those are about $200. Just a tip, but the video is great! Keep up with what you do!
this is really cool man good job
Thank you!
I personally like skate g wayyyy more than scooter in but tbh this is dope. Might make one my self. Tbh good job.
And the fact you did this all by your self. Amazing
Thank you! Tbh it's not to hard to build stuff by yourself, I have a lot of practice building stuff by myself because, I have no friends ); (jk XD)
Here is a tip.keep both ur feet on ur deck when ur going up or down any drop if u fall..u fall u have a helmet on for a reason
U deserve more subs btw Ur parents must be cool
I love this kid cause he is so talented even tho he is not good at scooter riding [no offence] he does it his self lit😉🙃
