Just finished my kid’s quarter. This video on setting reveal, sizes, and mounting was really helpful. Those j-bolts are genius! I think I might use those in other projects. Never even knew they existed. Thanks man.
Love this video. I will actually be using your technique within a couple days. I’m currently building a 3‘6“ spine ramp. Not sure if you can answer this question but how much flat bottom should a ramp that size have? Looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time and your video.
Any idea how to "fix" a coping that sticks out to far towards the ramp causing the skateboard to stop when it hit's it head on :) I think it's sticking out about 5/8 to an inch. It's still skateable, just kinda sucks when you are pumping and hit it with your front wheels. A few thoughts come to mind.. Take rail off, and use a circular saw to cut 1/4inch into the backing wood that seats the coping.
you're going to have to take the sheets off and then shim behind them at the very top just under the coping. I usually cut shims from a 2x4 on my table saw. Cut them to whatever thickness to need to adjust your reveal. Then you can use a hammer stapler and just tack them into place. Screw your sheets back down and you're all set. That's the quick and dirty way to fix coping overbite but it works great. Maybe we'll make a video showing the procedure.
Question on the depth gauge. In the video, you say to cut a 2x4 one inch, but it looks like you actually cut two sheets of plywood stacked with the final skating surface to one inch. The stacked material makes more sense. Is that what you used? If so, did you glue it together before cutting? Thanks for the great videos.
I'm a woodworker, and looking to make one of these ramps soon. I thought the same as you. However, looking at ramp builds here and there, I've come to the conclusion that what he means is, you are going to lay 2 layers of 3/8 ply, then a finishing ply at 1/4. Which comes out to a total of 1 inch. He's just short cutting and telling you to make a 1 inch depth gauge to represent that.
Good stuff. This was perfect timing. Waiting for the rain to stop out here in Copenhagen so I can finally put my coping on. Noob question, in the video that quarter wasn't plyed yet, but I assume you would first ply the ramp then set the coping in or does it matter even?
In a perfect world - if you did everything exactly correct - it wouldn't matter. But yeah, the standard procedure is to put your substrate layers down (2 layers of 3/8" ply) then install your coping and then your surface. I actually pulled that coping off after I shot this and did it exactly in the aforementioned order. I only did it that way to expedite the production of the video. Sorry for the confusion on that. Good luck man!
Hey no worries. This series you put up pretty much clobbers all other coping vids out there. They were super helpful and skater oriented. Keep up the good work. Laterz.
hey Chris, thanks so much for the feedback man. i'm super stoked that these vids helped you out. those are the best compliments i could ever hope to get. appreciate ya bro & keep rollin'!
Hey, thanks for these videos, they're great. I'm afraid I saw them a little too late. Any tips on how to shim so that I can get up to the height and depth I need on the coping?
Great video. One question - in this case you set it back 1" to account for 3/4" ply and 1/4" gator skins. Do you not typically do 2 layers of ply, or is it unnecessary with gator skins? I am planning out the ramp I'll be building soon, and was planning on 2 layers of 1/2" plywood followed by the layer of gator skins. Is that overkill? Sure would be nice to save the cost of an entire additional layer of ply, but I do want the ramp to last many years.
Question; do you think two 1/2'' ply would be strong enough for an outdoor mini ramp for bmx and skate? I have the whole skeleton done as we speak and about to set the coping but cant obviously until i make a decision on how thick of ply i wanna use.
Gatorskins Skateboard Surface thanks for the reply. It's been awhile so i since have completed the build. I did end up using two half inch layers. Its seems strong enough. Thanks again. I didnt use any ramp plans other than watching your video's and it turned out well.
If you gave me the exact dimensions I could do the math for you but your dimensions have stumped me. 2 inch plywood combined with 2 1/8 masonite sheets would not equal 1 and 1/8 of an inch.

Aye, glad to share the knowledge man. Thanks!
Will be making this for my son before too long. Great video. Thanks a lot!
Really surprised this video doesn't have more views. Should definitely be in the 100k
thanks so much man
Thanks dude. Now got my halfpipe nearly done. Really helpful, clear vid.
glad to help man
Thanks. Just the information I needed to be able to set up my ramp tomorrow.
Great instructional video!! Thank you for taking the time to produce and share it!!
Hey, its our pleasure. We like building ramps almost as much as skating them.
Very technical... I love your vids. Thanks for the quality info and edits
appreciate the feedback man & glad they helped.
Extremely grateful fot these instructions. Thank you!
Yes you said it, démystifying the art coping ! Thanks a lot !
no problem, thanks for watching
best tutorial for building ramp/pipe.
This was extraordinarily helpful! Thanks for the quick guide.
you're welcome!

help sooooo much my next ramp is going to be perfect lots to learn from the first one

@@cyclemadness exactly. thanks for that.
Hey, lookin forward to part 3. Is it out yet? If not no worries. Just lookin for some tips to mount. You use toggle bolts?
Hey Chris, I'm uploading part III tonight. Thanks for watching man!

Hi guy's
Would love the plans for this ramp please 🙂
thank you so much for this
were you at tempe park like, two weeks ago?
haha, yeah probably
it looks like you've got two pieces of 1/4 in together here (6 plys) not 3/4 in ply right?
That Dixxon flannel! 🤘🏽🍻
only the best! their showroom and warehouse is right down the road.
Thank you
Hey, thanks for these videos, they're great. I'm afraid I saw them a little too late. Any tips on how to shim so that I can get up to the height and depth I need on the coping?
Hey if you still have the notches that you cut out get some liquid nails and glue them back in and try again.
Great video. One question - in this case you set it back 1" to account for 3/4" ply and 1/4" gator skins. Do you not typically do 2 layers of ply, or is it unnecessary with gator skins?

You need to do 2 layers of 3/8" ply, which will equal 3/4". Then top it with Gatorskin.
Great info!
Thanks Dan!
Got this art down to a science.. or is it the other way around?
Question; do you think two 1/2'' ply would be strong enough for an outdoor mini ramp for bmx and skate? I have the whole skeleton done as we speak and about to set the coping but cant obviously until i make a decision on how thick of ply i wanna use.
I don't ride BMX but 1" thickness on layer is pretty standard.
Gatorskins Skateboard Surface thanks for the reply. It's been awhile so i since have completed the build. I did end up using two half inch layers. Its seems strong enough. Thanks again. I didnt use any ramp plans other than watching your video's and it turned out well.
@@squareone4407 Glad the video helped out bro! Thanks for the feedback. We're gonna keep making videos so stay tuned.
why I didn't see this video before I built my mini ramp. I just rebuilt my coping to the right measurement
Say I am using a 2 Inch sched 40. What math should I use to have 3/8ths exposed. My 2 ply and 2 1/8 masonite sheets equal to 1 and 1/8 inches.
your coping is 2 inch schedule 40?
If you gave me the exact dimensions I could do the math for you but your dimensions have stumped me. 2 inch plywood combined with 2 1/8 masonite sheets would not equal 1 and 1/8 of an inch.
@@joshuabrown1300 2- 11/32 ply. And 2- 1/8th masonite sheets which is 1/4 inch thick. Shouldn't this be an inch only.
Quanti pollici è il tubo?
2 3/8" Outer Diameter
or just trace a piece of cardboard from the end and cut it out.
