hey, I'm curious how is the ramp holding up after two years, any tips or things you would have done differently if you had a chance? I'm about to build my own miniramp in a week or so, so i'm trying to get as much info as possible. Thanks!

@@angusls6032 Just a shout out to all the kids who spent the summer building a mini ramp only to have it ruined and warped because of 4 months of snow. PSA, weather proof your ramps.
If you're still on the fence about this project, durability will depend on how hard it is used and whether it is protected. This could be either by simply keeping it out of the elements, or you could paint it or use a sealer. I'd use a roller for the base coat and then have a spraypainting party with the other folks you hope to share the ramp with.
How do you think something like this would fare in harsh Buffalo winters? Interested in building one in my backyard but worried the elements will make short work of it within a year or two here.
Yeah I’m sure snow wouldn’t be too good for it. You could always just try covering it with a tarp when your not using it. If you can find one big enough.
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 Appreciate the response, thank you. May reconsider building it for now. Great video & awesome ramp as well! I’ll be building the box from your other skate box video as my winter project, in anticipation of spring.
If you have a garage there's no shame in an indoor ramp, but you could also do it with concrete . Most stores even give away broken bags for free, if you space it out enough you could do it for pretty cheap, just make sure to use filler to take up the bulk of the space, only the 4 inch surface layer should be actual cement, the rest can just be old bricks and rocks and dirt and solid garbage . There's tons of concrete diy builds on here, Thrasher posted a great one that's short and covers all key points.
Did it end up being 53 timber struts total? It looks like 17 middle, 16 each quarter, then 2 additional for each quarter later on for the extra support/bracing ect?
It’s actually 49 in total. 16 for each quarter in total then 17 for the middle section. I just rounded up to 50 in case of mistakes. The supports we added on are included in that total
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 so with the quarters, it looks like you used 16 timber’s initially, then after realising it was a bit wonky, looks like on the vid you’ve added 1 full timber right in the guts, and 3 uprights at the back I’m guessing around 720mm each, which would be almost one full length cut into 3 smaller pieces. So would that make each quarter 18 timber’s each? Thanks for any info, love the vid you guys did an awesome job.
@@markclifford7321 Oh I see what your saying. So firstly the one full length timber right in the guts does absolutely nothing and is just there because I had some spare timber so just ignore that. And when we built the first quarter we somehow added an extra bit but quickly realised and got rid of that. So just 15 on each initially and then the 1 extra for the vertical supports. 16 Total. Sorry for the confusion.
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 yeah cool I see now that at one point you had 5 timbers on the top deck then changed it to back to 4, and when i was counting along it looked like there’s 16 then +2 later, but there actually was 15 + the extra bracing. Anyway, thanks again for the help and nice work.
Hey guys, I’m just through building the frame of your ramp. Was wandering a few things regarding whether resistance being outdoors.. what sort of ply did you use for the skateable surface? What kind of paint did you use? Do you cover with a tarp when not in use? How has your ramp held up? Thanks.
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 You happy with the height of the transition and the length of flat, or would you make less flat or higher trans' if you did it over? just wondering bc it seems like you lose a little speed on the flat, but maybe not. Great job homies
HighOnDialectic yeah pretty happy with the sizes. The length gives you plenty of time to set up for your next trick and you can easily have enough speed if you pump
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 Nice, thanks -- the dimensions are almost perfect for the space I have to work with so just curious as to how it flowed. Cheers :)

Me and my dad are going to make one in the summer!!!!
Same me and my cousin are gonna make one we already made a platform, then we are gonna make another platform.
Cool
Noice
Have u made it yet?
Use concrete its better than making it with wood then it getting absolutely destroyed
Nice job guys, the only reason there were people giving a thumbs down is they don’t know how to work a drill !
That rainbow was like God's blessing on the project!
God said Let them SKATE :)
@@moderntreasure1828 YEAH He did! Lol
Luckily I have a dad who has lots of machines that you used to build it :}
Lucky u
I’ve never met a my dad😂
@@nukar5193 that’s an oof-
My mom won’t let me do it 🥺🥺
@@finnkasher1910 good. You don’t deserve it
So cool! But my suggestion is if on 1 side u had only half or 3/4 of coping and then there would be a slightly taller roll in.

what did you treat the wood with
@@gcesports7191 nothing. The pine already comes treated with something
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 oh really, are you sure about that?
@RhinoBeall Yeah. Do you think it’s naturally blue?
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 lmao
Thanks so much.. y’all are the coolest!!
nice ramp! the transition looks so smooth. good job!
That’s rad! I like the fact that you and your homeboys built that together. SKATE AND DESTROY! SKATE AND CREATE! ISN’T SKATING GREAT?
Pure righteous inspiration
you've inspired me!
I use to drop in on 12' ramps but 3' is terrifying now.
hows the wood holding up to the weather? great video
Awesome vid!!! How long is it? Also, how many layers of ply did you put above the planks before the paint?
They said all together it’s 22 feet & I believe it looks like two layers before the paint 👍
Love it! How thick is the ply wood you use to put down on the ramp? I’m in the uk so different measurements?
3/8 inch or 9mm. Two layers.
@@deirdre444 cheers man!
pretty sick
Awesome!
Wow nice job for sure

Also if you live somewhere that has a winter you need a surfacing material like skatelite which triples the cost.

So good! Deserves more views!!
This is great! How long did it take to build?
3 days in total but could’ve easily been done on 2 if it didn’t keep on raining
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 👍
Sup we have made a new one it was the..... One where you drop in like the starter thingy.
something with MM and CM for once thank fuck, cheers boys
Metric over Imperial! as an architecture student it shits me when everything i research is in 16ths of an inch etc. decimals are way more practical.
@@HAYDS510 same goes for temperature scale. no offence to Americans but wtf they on haha
when you say it cost 750 usd is that counting the tools
No
Aaaahhh
No
watching it I am thinking about how many of the tools I dont have
@@Fatelvis2 normally you can rent tools out
10:09 no denying i saw that zinger box
where did you buy your materials?
I’ve heard/seen if you wet the ramp wood first it’s easier to bend with the curve
Yeah. It helped for us that it was raining a bit
Anyone put a board through that window yet? Nice ramp though lads, good job. 👍
Haha naa it’s managed to stay in one piece
How
Now that 3 years have passed, how did the paint hold up? Any regrets?
so godd buddys, is that a 6' radius?
Lit vid
nice
A year on, is there any pictures of how she looks now after a life in the elements?
Your flat bottom looks very long? Is it slow skating? Like do you have to pump hard to keep speed?
Noice bro
Sick 👏🏻
Wow!!!
Did you support the entire width with blocks underneath to level it, or only on the edges?
Only edges. No chance of it ever bending that way in the middle
where do you find these items
what radius did you use.? ramp looks great
Says in the video
@@streetflowskateboarding8367 ok says in video . your a big help .
Randy Dill can confirm
You mean you want him to watch the video? What a rip off lmao 🤦♂️
Feel the ramp will be better if wider a bit more
Awesome
What would the length of this be so that i can see if i am able to build one in my back garden ?
It was about 7meters or 21 feet like it says in the beginning of the video
How long will this last? And can you spray paint it or no?
Edit: last question, how heavy is it (approx)
Senor Sadist yes you can spray paint it and I don’t see the future so I don’t know how long it would last
if u mean spray paint as in paint the entire thing with spray cans ur brainless

this summer me and my dad are gonna build one yes ik im a girl i love to skateboard loll
How much does this cost
How much did it cost in US dollars
what is he final cost?
Did the paint make it slick?
Nope. Same as wood in this case.

Ive already built a couple ramps but i messed up and made it too steep so all i needed was good measurements
Fascinating
Do you have somewhere I can see all the dimensions
Troy Mazur dimensions are in the description and beginning of video

What paint did u guys use
Dulux Weathersheild Paint
