Where is it mate?  Are you going to install coping?

    I'm in Yorkshire , a coping will be fitted but i was away when the guys had finished it , they were working off the drawings in an old BMX book which didn't show one on  :daumenhoch:



             Cheers Kappy  :)

Was it the BMX Action Bike book from the 80s  :shocked: I think you've missed a trick here Darren.

There's a wealth of knowledge right here on RAD you could have dipped into ... talking to fellas like TwoBobRob for example.. being able to have the combined wisdom of years of experience is what I think RAD is best at  :daumenhoch:

Wish I had this ramp in my back garden (wish I had a back garden! :LolLolLolLol:)

I like the tight transitions; less chance of hanging up!  ;)

I had a ramp in my parents garden that was made up of two quarter pipes, one two foot higher than the other, with no platforms and hardboard in the middle!  :LolLolLolLol:

build it, and they will come

but only if they get an invite.

good to know there are so many knowledgable ramp builders out there.
'
even better to know someone who hasnt done one before picked up an old school bmx book, on the back of getting back into old school bmx, and and thought 'foook it, why not'

then walked outside and did it.

cant wait to break my neck on it  :D

Oh well, it looks like right fun even if the flat bottom does look a bit long.

 All joking aside though at least if it rains for 40 days and 40 nights you'll have something for the animals to go in 2 by 2 on.
