If I were to build a ramp with limited space, I'd rip off the T1's little mini ramp.  What's cool is that one side its a regular 4ft mini but the over side is a vert wall and mega tight 1/4.  Small. but way less limited than a regular mini.

If you pause the following video at 0.45 seconds you get a quick view of it.  looks so fun.

I'll think you'll agree, my best work got done when he wasn't around   

[DJ]

Mmmmm I think the ONLY work got done when you were around Rob!!! If Andy went anywhere the "workforce"  of drainer, doug, kelly etc just completely stopped!!!!!
2 things that still make us laugh is "FINGERS! F-INGERS!!" every 5 mins & "MARRRRRRRRRRRRRK" the speccy scottish guy who im sure was in love with andy!?

Id love to build one me,

but theres no good spot in my yard.


Building ramps is really fun & easy.

Its just common sense.

A tip (sorry if its obvious) is to fill the flat bottom with sand, maybe a tiny bit of cement too.


It provides a stiff base and makes the ramp lot a lot longer.

Now.......  that DID sound preachy.....   


Explain to me please why exactly you need sand and/or cement in the flat bottoms of your ramps?

Christ knows what was going on with that bloke Mark.  I recall him taking a lot of photos and then proudly announcing he was just practising and had no film in the camera........
