How to Build a Mini Ramp

In this video, we walk through how I built my mini ramp from start to finish. I considered buying one but I found it cheaper to do it myself. Watch as I explain my method and breakdown step by step the DIY mini ramp build.

Sick build! Wish i had one when i was 15, 20 years later maybe ill build one this summer. Thanks for the inspiration brother!

Awesome mate, I always wanted to build one. Now I'm going have to give it a go.
It's cool to see you worked out the transition to 6ft as most skatepark designers overlook this and it makes it hard to skate if you dont. You probably have the best mini ramp in the valley.
Great video

Looks fun! The drop is not very steep, so for anyone used to skating a regular mini of similar height, this is going to feel a lot like dropping into a bank. As a life long skateboarder (~20 years) I would suggest elongating the flat part (maybe 0.5–2 meters or so) to get a slightly steeper transition.

Awesome video. I’m in about same position. Finally have the space only I’ll probably break a bone but would love to get my littles on it and try myself a bit. Never forget that feeling! Cost is my only concern. Found it thanks!! Good job Dad, and help!!!!

Cool ramp mate. I built a similar one in my parents back yard when I was 16. Had hours of fun and learnt a lot building and skating it. Must have drove the neighbours nuts with the noise from it. Only problem is the climate in NZ being rather wet during the winter. Takes days for the ramp to dry out and when it does eventually the ply gets really slow. I hope to build one again one day but this time I'm going to make it out of concrete.

Perfect timing for this video. I’m was just looking yesterday for plans for and 8’ wide, 2-3’ high mini ramp for my garage. Most plans have an 8’ flat section, but I was wondering if 4’ would work since I have limited space. Looks like it would be perfect for a small ramp to learn lip tricks. 👍

Do an update video on the ramp man did it get wet and slow? Did u paiint it with skate paint whatever they call it

[Clichek]

Right on man! I’m definitely taking notes.

Hey Josh, I saw that your top support under the copping was mostly knotted and will break eventually if someone is distastering often in the center. I'd brace it a bit with some studs for longevity.
Sick mini bro

Thats amazing just put sth over the fence below so in case of a fall you'll be good to work the next day!

[fazepocket]

Its probably way to late to ask thos but how much was the cost of the whole build$

[Joestacemazjojo]

I’m sure I missed it but how much US dollars? Looked like 12 sheets plywood?

Stumbled on this video as about to do exactly the same at home, with similar dimensions. I have about 16' (4.8m) depth/length to play with, but will alter the depth of the platforms if needed. Main goal is to make sure there's enough flat so that's not too whippy. Yours looks like it works well, how much space did you have been the fence and the wall? Cheers

Hi Have you thought of showing other things that happen in your life? Aka friends, family. I enjoy your humor and I've been watching your channel for just over a year now. To just learn, gain and understand the whole build process. In preparation of having my own family home built for certain.

hey i'm using your video as a guide to build my own ramp, are you able to tell me how many and what materials you used thanks

Hey! Great build man. I am finishing up my 2 ftx10ft mini this week and had a question. How would you recommend to space out the screws on the plywood layers so they don't overlap? I am doing 3 layers total.

[袁冬-qe]

how thick are the two layers of boards on top?

[clintonschloemer]

Hey awesome build. Is this a 3 footer?
