Sweet ramp! I just got my dream come true last year. With a debacle between the city and federal government here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. City had to move their million dollar paved pump track just outside my backyard. Instead of the intended space along the river pathway. Due to denial of Access of federal lands. Forced them to build a pump station along the river. Good deal for me. 😊
Hey mate, great to hear from you, I hope you are well. Thank you, I really appreciate that. It's nearly 4yrs old now. And I love it. If you are ever in Australia hit me up. 👊👊👊
@@pearsing01 I think Stevenage was 24 feet wide, but there was a massive tree right by the edge. Made things a little hairy if you got a wobble on the flat!
Very nice. I grew up skating in the 80s and was super lucky to have a rich neighbor that built his son a huge vert ramp just like this. It was so cool to have access to something like this a few doors down. Sure everyone that skates your ramp is just as stoked as I was.
Thats rad, unfortunately it took until I was 48 to get mine, but better late than never. I know they all love it but I think I get the most stoked seeing them ride it. 👊👊
There was me going to ask you whereabouts in the UK you were. Nice ramp, not too high. Love how considerate you are towards your neighbours. Don’t know if you’ve done it but a bit of expanding foam either end of the coping reduces a lot of noise. I’ve subbed brother 👊🏻
Me and my buddy are building this exact build over the summer...ive watched both videos and screen shot your plans. Is there any way you could share the dimensions of this beautiful ramp!
Thats so cool to hear. The ramp has a 9ft9in tranny, 6in vert, is 20ft wide. That size was perfect for me and my garden but if I had the room I would have gone maybe a sheet wider. 👍👍
Dude, you’re amazing! And I wish I was your neighbour! 🇨🇦
Your too kind. Thank you. Neighbours who skate would be rad. 😁😁

Great outcome, chances like that don't happen every day. No excuses now. 🤣🤣
Hi from Trawler. Nice vids, Story well told.

I'll be the bones brigade searching for the back yard ramp at the Island! hahahah
I am sure there have been a few. 🤣🤣
Its awesome what you did!
Thank you, it was totally worth it. And I am just about to pad up now. 👊👊
Great video 👍🏾👍🏾nice size for learning on for sure!!
Thank you, sure is. I planned it for that reason. 👍👍
Absolute beauty
😁😁
Nice, looks like a perfect backyard ramp. Reminds me of Stevenage in terms of size.
Hey Nick, you could be right about that. Would Stevenage have been a little wider maybe. 😁😁

Haha wow, your memory is way better than mine. But I did enjoy that ramp.😁😁
we would pour soda on the ramp to keep it from being really slippery...
No need with this surface. 👍👍
I've heard people call it "Coking the ramp".
(it's particularly helpful on metal)
It does work on metal ramps for a while. 👍

Not it the UK anymore. Victoria Australia. I thought about the foam in the coping but I like the sound. If someone mentions it I might. Thank you. 👊👊
@@pearsing01 yeah, you can’t beat that sound. Where are you in Victoria? Lived in NSW from 92 to 95 myself till I met a English girl and moved there.
Down towards Phillip Island. Why the hell would you move over there. Haha
Nice half pipe miss sk8ing
Thank you. go find it again it misses you. 😁🛹👊
Hey I just want to know if you would do anything differently. I like this size ramp very much.
No not that I can think of everything works well for me. It's the perfect size to learn lip tricks on. And that's what I built it for. 👍👍

DIY BABY
The best. 🛹👊🛹👊
Great looking half-pipe! Would you let us know what the music in the background is? Thank you!
Hey Dave, thank you. The music is a generic one from the editing system that I use. Sorry I know that is not much help. John 👍👍
Hey mate, Nice video. I noticed you mentioned "Bucky". Is that Bucky from Island Surf Shop?
Thanks mate. 👍. Haha it might be. 🤣👊
@@pearsing01 Yeh, he's my guy for anything skate related. Good bloke. 👍
@@FukUrUsernameRules yeah mine too. He's a Ruler 👊🔥👊
Hey Mate! What was the cost of the materials for the ramp?
About $18k aus.
Great video. Wish I had a smaller vert near my home.
Thanks mate. It makes all the difference having a smaller ramp to try lip tricks on. 👍👍
I wish you were my neighbor. Thanks for sharing!
Haha that's funny I have had that alot. Thank you. 👊👊
