Build the PERFECT BMX Quarter Pipe - Tips and Tricks

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2016
- This will help you save time, money, and headaches! I’m not a pro, but I’ve built enough ramps (10+) to have an arsenal of tips and tricks to share. This bmx specific quarter is about 3.5ft high, 8ft wide, and features no coping! I absolutely love building things - if there is something else you want me to build/cover just let me know!

Here’s a great article to fill in the gaps that I didn’t mention - diyskate.com/quarter_02.html
DO NOT USE THEIR DIMENSIONS/SPECS THOUGH! USE MINE!!!!!
STUFF NOT MENTIONED IN VIDEO
In order to use one sheet of plywood for both sides you will need to measure the 2ft deck FIRST. Then trace the radius from there (it will make sense when you are doing it). We also braced the middle 2x4 for extra support by attaching it to the base. If you choose to leave your surface with pressure treated plywood I highly recommend staining it! The stain will be absorbed by the wood, make it look pretty, and protect it.
All prices are either taken from my local Home Depot, or are estimates. There are plenty of ways to save money by recycling used wood, utilizing different materials and tools, or even using cheaper screws. This is just based on experience what I find to work the best and make the easiest most solid ramp.

WARNINGS
As always SAFETY FIRST. If you’ve never used a power tool before, have someone there to help you. Ramp Armor is EXTREMELY sharp, DO NOT slide your hands on the edges. File the sharp edges once installed to avoid this. Wear safety goggles, you won’t believe the amount of stuff that will get flung at your eyes. It is possible to build by yourself, but having a friend will make it much easier and faster! - กีฬา
Why did Nicole raise her hand
I remember building these as a kid with my dad. Hopefully one day I can just say "I wanna build a quarter pipe today..." LOL Lets do a skateboarding/bmx collllllab!
I built one today referring to this video. it was great having the materials list, I took it to my local lumber yard then came home and watched the video as I was building and kept checking back and now I have a ramp! I never would have built one if it wasn't for this video
My dad has been playing the best game of HIDE AND GO SEEK, have not found him since 1998.
same fam
Shika Racing have you looked i the cemetary
Lol same story, same year. :D
Adam Lz can you be "DAD" please.
Peter Rabbithole his pops is deaf
Now the biggest takeaway i hope that you get from this video, and the absolutely most important thing that no other TH-camr will tell you is that Adam needs a truck!
are you secretly making the supra into a 2jz supra truck for me? :)
Anythings possible, not sure I want the internet to hate me for doing that tho haha
4 years later and Adam finally has a truck
I'm not ever gonna build this, Hell I can barely BMX, but i highly enjoy watching all your videos.
Thank you!
The ramp build was helpful I'm going to build a ramp for my wheelchair with the armor sheets on it
I love your vlogs Adam and Nicole!! Keep up the good work
Nice video. 2:05 was the best part
Looking for this comment
Roger that
I hope everyone had/has a good day :)
Thank you for spreading positivity :)
Adam LZ thanks for being such an inspiration!
+Adam LZ Hey adam, earliest ive ever been before, can u reply?
Trap Boss pm
Thanks a lot this is so much easier to understand than all the others well explained. Great video keep it up Adam🙂
Adam Lz , dude I just tore my patellar tendon and I've been feeling down and lame about getting back on my BMX but your videos always help me stay encouraged👍
I'm definitely going to try to build this Thanks Adam
Good luck!
I've got a heavier BMX, can you still do tricks with the same equality as your BMX? Adam LZ
It would be great if you replied! :D
It's referred to, "countersinking". Just FYI.. but "drilling a bigger hole so the head can fit in there flush," works too. Lol. I'm not being a smart ass. I just know a. Little about carpentry. I do want to build my son a quarter pipe tho. This video helps so much! Thanks adamLZ. Great video! As always
+michael wagnon thank you! I couldn't remember the word for it haha

Adam thanks for all the videos your the best big fan of yours keep up all the great videos man and I'm gunna build up my own bike with your frame because of you
Great joinery skills Adam, you make us joiners/carpenters proud !!!!!
When you hit 2,000,000 subs Adam....you should try to do a flare
THENISSANGAMER
He did a flair
It's on instagram
He did it for 100k followers
And said he won't do it again
ImKrit ical really? i dont have his insta so idk
THENISSANGAMER just do not kill your self dont end up in the hosputal like scotty cranmer
physcorhino 98 ,
physcorhino 98 hospital*
Hey Adam, could you make a video or a short text talking about Scotty Granmer because I think not too much people know about it and he needs our help.
I love your vids!!
Great looking ramp!!! You should make a grind box or diy rail next!! Would be a sick addition and I'd be down to make one for my son and me
3 days in a row!!! Keep this up Adam!!
Please make a video on a road trip to visit Scotty.
Freediver HD Yeah, nah. Not across the whole country and... Back.
Yeah Adam do a trip to vist Scotty
Freediver HD true that
Visit Scotty
#visitscotty #staywithscotty
ADAM YOU SHOULD HAVE A SINGNITURE SKATEPARK
that was the best skill saw you could have bought, it will last forever! props brotha man
I'm getting well ordering a bike on the 25th and I'm so happy I can't wait to get it when it finally comes
I feel like it's a good starter quarter. I learned a lot of my tricks on a similar quarter but in turn that makes bigger quarters more of a challenge to adapt to.
Awesome video though. Don't get me wrong...
+The BNC (Bmx News Channel) he's not getting started. he's a professional lol. he has sponsors and all
You interpreted my comment totally wrong... In no way did I call Adam a beginner or a person not sponsored by Stranger bmx. lol
All I want to know is if you got the truck back before the hour...
+WatchThisPlay i did!
Adam, check out Amayama for new genuine parts (you were after the console trim for the jz 180sx)
you are a real inspiration adam! thank you.
This is going to help so many people nice one adam
Safety is number one priority
You should go back to CT when you have the time. We've been waiting for a Haggard collab for a while now.
+B-Rad ok I'll go this week
That's awesome! You won't regret it! Those Haggard guys are nice! Meet them in Brooklyn. Wanna see some Tandems. 😉 Should make for a great video!
This is awesome! Thanks Adam
Nicole seems to be such a kind lady, you did good brother👊🏼
How long do u think it will take Adam to ride off the roof on To the quarter
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
does weight makes different when you try to do a bunny hop?
Not really, it's mostly technique.
it makes a difference if you are a bigginer because it will be harder because of the weight but as Adam said it is technique
Kevin Velez
Adam LZ how do you get so may subscribers
Kevin Velez I thought the same thing but once you know how it's easy but It took me a month to learn how
Great content, Adam! you the man.
Love the video man, great way to introduce people to ramp making. Can't wait to see future riding videos
:) Now that I have a ramp I should be able to ride more often when I get little breaks of time!
Yeah I understand that completely! Having things you enjoy at home makes the difference, saves time, and is just a lot more chill and fun!
#standforscotty
Gideon Zervos yes. #standwithscotty let's get him to 1mil before he's out of the hospital
everyone subscribe to Scotty Cranmer
am i the only one the died slightly when you put the 2x4's straight onto the wheels ::O :O :O
Loved the vid though dude thanks!! :D
Dan-K I was crying
#MeeToo

PlumpCh1cken gtfo. Respect the man's wife.

thebrzguy what r u talking about
lol you edited your comment. Nice try.
Love your vids such an inspiration :)
I did the quarter your tips are great, thanks
when is Bert gonna caveman off the roof?!
Just looking at all that land next to your house for a perfect skatepark.
this takes me back to a few years ago when i had my home skatepark
dude i just made my first edit and it one of my best videos in my opinion you inspire me to ride bmx
2:04 OH MY GAAWWWWD
how much did it cost all together except the tools
Read description!
ivan clemente $945
Adam LZ hey dude what time was it
Damn you're actually doing it the wright way! 👏 This thing is gonna be strong!
I don't mess around when it comes to ramps!
Thank u I been waiting for a video like this
spanking stick I like that Nicole
I'm 100 pounds and I can't get my front tire up am I too light
No try moving your bars back a bit till you are able to pull up correctly.
Another thing is that your top tube is too big for your size.
Adam Joe thanks
push ups a couple a couple times a week👍
nah man I weigh 94 pounds and I can bunnyhop on to benches
Sick video as always bro
Fantastic video!
2:05
if all girls in floride dress like nicole im moving
lilcaesa sadly no
well, its hot
Aaron Timm i thought florida was cold and nicole was immune...
lilcaesa shit, im probably wrong
Xd roar
no wtf Florida is fucking hot and humid its actually gonna be getting alittle cold her because fall/winter is here and it's great like perfect but other than that it either hot and humid hot and rainy with tons of wind or cold and rainy or just cool the lowest its gotten here is maybe 30 degrees Fahrenheit above zero and that probably isn't even right just a guess but no it is no where near cold in florida
Nothing beats a fresh ramp.
Smooth camera transition to flex the whip for no good reason at 4:00. Nice Adam...Nice!
should of watched this video or read an article before we made ours about a year ago. its ridiculously steep, and we didnt wet the plywood so we cut it into thirds. :/ (i skate btw)
Steepness is so deceiving!
hey creed how's the office life going for you
Daaaaayum 2:06
I hope you had a good day today Adam!
Busy, but fun!
looks soo good adammmm
#standwithscotty
#Standwithscotty
I miss the good old bike checks. u should really do those again I loved them
love your videos bro
Instead of skate armor can't you just use masonite? It's much cheaper
+Connor Mullen (cmullstudios) it doesn't last outdoors
Adam LZ did you hear about Scotty Cranmer
yoshidude 52 he mentioned it In the last video
He made a video about it already.
526th like lit cuzzz
Boss iTry
Top job Adam 👌
"You're not a rotten tomato, you're better than that!" We have to get that comment trending on every video!
Yes plz! Top comment #you'renotarottentomato
most of us dont have enough money for this
Cole Platt haha
a gun, am i gonna rob him at gunpoint for a ramp lol
or wood..
RankedAboveU i can get it for free because where i live theres a dump with wood
RankedAboveU i already made 1 quarterpipe and 4 kickers
#prayforscotty
I honestly love this because no one every tells in their videos what they use
Hey Adam, that's actually one of the trucks me and my dad took down to Florida for his job at Penske

You are awesome, Adam
Adam thank you for making awesome videos and inspiring me to want a bmw as my first car!!!
May the force be with you
+adam lz I am really into bmx and drifting and seeing your videos makes me want to do what you do but its hard when your only 13 and dont have money to get a car or be able to afford a real bmx bike. But I already know the first thing I will buy is a adam lz stranger frame!!!!! :)
Adam OMG I really hope this means ur doing daily uploads now
love the whole video
I'm trying to create one so I can skate it :), I've already created my ledge and manny pad, just missing a few other obstacles and i'm set :)
Last time I was this early Adam did how to's.
i like these kind of vids!
3:38 safety is da nuba one piowity! ;)
Nice quarter, I hope you keep building and make a nice backyard skate park :D
I'm tired but I need to watch it!! :)
Nice video adam i liked it
this was so helpful
love u Adam #myinspiration best youtuber,bmxer
very nice vid!!
Nice ramp Adam
Hi adam i love your videos
Subscribed and Notifacations turned on!
nice thanks for the tips adam
Little tip, you can setup a string from your corner to 8' to your jigsaw keep tight against it and you'll get a perfect arc 👍
I love the outros, mainly the song, it just completes the video haha
I dont know if star screws are the same as torx but i woud always recommend those, torx almost never slips so its easier.
I hope you make a really cool skatepark in your garden so far so good
