So I have a room with a nice high roof .... 6m x 4.7m.

Is that enough space to build anything rideable?

was thinking of going to vert actually up the wall one side and a 3ft high side with platform the other.

Any thoughts welcome

I'd just go mini ramp Ed instead of vert as you can do more

Have been thinking about building one of those small trick ramps like bitd they used to show in mags/books how to build, just to do kickturns, ramp stalls......and rollbacks

Got the dimensions but never been anygood with wood (ooo err), banging and screwing Im fine!

Ed, bring your tape-measure to the Boardroom in a week or so as that looks like the same sort of dimensions as the little practice ramp which is good for nothing on a bike I'd say $:-\$

If Spen's saying it's too small, you might want to think carefully about it

Shit... thats a very good point. He thinks the bathroom sink is an epic bowl

To build anything that is going to be any good for a bike you need to be 4ft high minimum and a 4ft platform either end or a 3ft and 5ft would be my preference is space is tight (space no issue do a 4ft & 6ft platform)...

You need a minimum of 8ft of true flat bottom on a 4ft high mini... then say 6.5ft tran, so if you take the bare minimum you will need 9/10m. In width 16ft minimum but 20ft would be better or even 24ft if you have the space.

Last of all deep pockets it will cost much more than you think!

this looks fun tho Bru ... just for learning disasters / tyretaps / footplants :-)

Bru · « **Reply #19 on:** February 11, 2014, 07:41 PM »

Not much room on them platforms for disasters and tyretaps! If one platform was bigger maybe but it's going to tight on a bike IMO.

Sorry bud not trying to piss on your chips, it's a great idea and would be fab to have something inside just don't want you to spend a shit load of money and it not be usable. If I can help in anyway and I know I can speak for Rob too then just ask buddy.. Don't buy any timber either until you speak to us

15ft wide and 20ft deck to deck.... so minimum 3ft platform on one side only... thats a cert.

5ft for mellower tranny on the platform side maybe and 7ft flat ... 5ft steeper tranny up to the wall but not to vert?

Its gotta be possible to make something work

on a budget ... TrickyRich is offering wood and you as well which is great

I know a few builders and farmers for supplies ... maybe just need to invest in a nice skin.

All good food for thought ;-)

ED209 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 12, 2014, 08:12 PM »

Right ... so its deffo gonna have a FBM Crandall style carving vert wall one side and a 3ft mini ramp style the other :-)

Just got to work on what transitions are right for it ...

The Chapel of RAD will be built!
