Over my decades on earth, I could not tell you how many construction projects I have been a part of. My father imparted his lifetime of construction knowledge on his son. I have built several sheds, decks, garages, and even my own house. I have been building things since I have been able to pick up a hammer.

So, why the heck not build a mini ramp?! What Construction Experience Do You Need? I wasn’t sure when I’d ever get to skate a mini ramp again.įlash forward a couple years, and I have finally hit a point in my life where I have the space and means to build the one thing I have wanted for a good part of my life. I was extremely broken up when the indoor park had to close. The sound of the wheels hitting the coping, the speed, the burning in my thighs had me hooked. I loved just simply pumping back and forth. This is where I learned to pump, and some simple lip tricks. My city had an indoor skatepark for a few years, and it had 2 mini ramps a 5-foot mini, and a 4 foot with a spine.

There were no skateparks when I was growing up and the ones that came later in my life were of questionable quality and never had a mini ramp.Īs the skateparks near where I live were being built better in quality, they always had a bowl and transition sections, but they were still missing a simple mini ramp. I have wanted to skate a mini ramp ever since I started skateboarding as a kid. 12.1 Screw on the Coping and Sheet the Decks.10 Frame the Transitions and Flat Bottom.9 Mark Your Transitions & Flat Bottom Boards Where the Support Will Go.2 What Construction Experience Do You Need?.
