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

This ramp looks very familiar to me. I'm almost certain it's a ramp that my previous employer built for a local skater. I then later relocated into someone's back garden, check it out;

Now, I suspect you'd look at that and say "looks fun".

You'd be wrong. It's fine for scooter kids and skaters but rubbish for bikes, for a whole load of reasons I'd rather not go into here.

Anyway, listen to Bru as he knows what he's talking about and don't start planning or spending money until you've spoken to us. I'd hate for you to lay out money and not have something worth riding at the end of it.

You can do summat with that space, so it's all good. Just need to make a smart decision as to what goes in there. A vert wall to 3ft quarter will be fun for all of five minutes - please trust me on that.

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!

That's something myself or Bru can do for you bud. Deliver it to you at a session sometime.

No bud. Those radii won't work for a bike. Way too tight unfortunately.

...... and if you think that Harrows halfpipe has a 4 or 5ft transitions you're a little more silly than I thought......

Don't worry, we'll sort summmat out.

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

ha ha, I laughed so much some bowel popped oot..

Ed, you need a couple of these bad-boys
