Intro


So, you want to build your own ramp right? Well, you've come to the right place then. The ramp you see in the picture above is the 6ft mini. it's one of the first ramps i've ever build, and if you follow all the details here, you can have the same.

As you already know, if you want a ramp like the titanic vert in Woodward, then be prepared to pay $100,000 for just that one ramp. But, if you are more into a ramp like the one above than you still will have to look at around $1000 if you use a wood surfacing layer. This one was however done with Skatelite plates, and since 1 plate runs at about $200 in Europe, the total price would be around $3600.

THINGS TO KNOW:

  • If you haven't build anything before, start with building a launch ramp first. this will teach you a lot, since the technique used is just the same as a big vert ramp.
  • All the templates are made with AutoCAD. You can always download a jpg screen dump of the plan. But if you build the ramp and don't want to spend $3,500 for a AutoCAD license, you can download the free "Volo View Express" here, who lets you view and print the plans. plans are available in AutoCAD Lite and AutoCAD 13 release.
  • All the 3d plans are made with 3d studio max, and again if you can't open them you will find a jpg screendump.
  • Every plan uses centimeters. the reason is that everybody in the whole world can use them. If you use inch and feet, than that's a lot harder for everyone who doesn't live in the USA, and since only 4% of all people live in the USA, I went with cm.
  • The height of the ramps is in feet because that's the standard.
  • All the surface supports are 5 by 10 cm. you can find them everywhere. For the Americans, this is a 2 by 4.
  • You will not find any coping details on the ramps. Therefore there is a special coping informational link.
  • You will also not find the details for adding a platform. You can also find those details on the special ramp deck page.
  • Because there now are a lot of top layers available, I also haven't drawn the layers. once again check the special layers page.
