Micro-Pipe

[elementskater]

I'm building a 3-foot halfpipe in my yard. If I put it on my lawn will it rot? Any suggestions on the type of wood. I hear masonite is cheap and works very well. Would it being outside destroy it? If I put waterproof on it would that kill speed for my skating.Please help.

Hey. Anybody know where i can get some ramp plans for a mini ramp? I went to dat slap magazine web site but der plans were for one 2 feet tall. I want something 4 feet high and atleast 10 feet wide.

[elementskater]

i got three foot plans want them.

[ALIENworkshop]

sure, where did u get them

Unless you live in the middle of a desert, DO NOT USE MASONITE. It'll come apart when it's wet. I would use a cheap plywood, and just replace it when it's gone bad.

plans for 3 foot at http://www.skateboarddirectory.com/pm/mp/59256/

Go to Ramps Plans/Articles on building at this site, I've got details on types of wood to use and all about general ramp surfacing.

That is also a good link ;)

in your garden? what the heck? uh ok...... i might get to build a 3 or 4 foot half pipe in my back yard!!!! IM GOING VERT BABY! I already have the perfect vert ollie, if you know wut i mean.... they look different and land different... yea anyhow

[WTF??]

id be allowed to build a ramp, i just need money, our family is getting really poor because we're getting a garage built and there was HEAPS of levelling to be done and such and it cost like $30,000, AND THE GARAGE STILL HASNT BEEN PUT UP....lazy barstards....

[AdioBird52]

hey, elementskater, two things

when will you get more pics?

how much did it cost you?

[Pelican-MAN]

DONT put it on the ground, if it's wet the wood will rot, warped, and you'll have to replace it. if i didn't have a surface that was concrete and was out of the way of the rain... i'd try and find a way to somehow suspend the ramp in the air with cinder blocks or make a couple concrete RISERS- not foundations.

hope it..... helps.
