Kicker Ramp for Beginners. AWESOME!

Kicker Ramps or jumps are slightly different to a normal ramp in that the launching platform has a curve upwards whereas a conventional MTB or BMX ramp is built with a straight platform.
This Kicker Ramp tutorial is quite extensive and delves into exactly how to build one, so sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
Let me know what you think below. Cheers👍😁🇦🇺

G'day Folks and welcome to my How to Build a Sick Kicker Ramp Video! The video is a Step by Step Guide to make the process as simple as possible for you. Hope you enjoy it and make sure you get out in the shed with the kids and make won't regret it! Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

I respect all these videos of people who spent a lot of time building ramps as a kid. We just took some ply wood and cinder block and called it a day. Not knowing if (when) the board was going to snap was a rush

[alanhunold]

I wish I had one of these when I was a kid! What an awesome Dad!!!!
Congrats Danny!

[TheClaudos]

Awesome tutorial my friend. Metric all the way!

[dongyoonlee]

Can’t understand why this video shows down in my search results. This ramp is structurally, aesthetically, and functionally sound. Thank u so much

[julietphillips]

A lot of good stuff in this video, even if I don't need a ramp...like how to use pvc to cut an arc. Always fun to watch. Now you get to watch your 10 yr. old and his friends enjoy having a ramp you wished you had back then. You are lucky you fell on a grassy surface...fell off a skateboard when I was much younger (tile floor) and screwed my shoulder good! Some time soon you can show us your boy using the ramp (when the yard is not soggy).

The flexxy plastic pipe(conduit) is the best method for creating the curve in the kicker/launch ramp! If you have seen the other Australian fella with the long hair and moustache they did a similar kicker but it required a 10.5 foot radius to mark a mellow curve and also not making steep quarter pipe instead. Thank you good sir! Been making big and small ramps and they’re lookin great!!

I had no plan to make this wiggy wiggy, or what ever he called it, but it came out so nice, I might have to! Also, this guy is Australia’s version of Mr. Rodgers...how could anyone not love him! Great video, as usual!

[mathieubolly]

Thanks, awesome tuto! I was looking at those expensive ramps, wondering if I should get one or not. After watching this video, I made one and still have enough wood to create a second one... 50€! Perfect!

[kevinmunoz]

Thank you so much for the tutorial, a little tip from a skater here, you can put a piece of sheet metal on the tip to ride into the kicker nicely and it Dosent damage the wood

[tvegas]

Awesome video. I love this guy! I could watch him all day! Thanks for the tip

[RiaanOliver]

Quality mate, brings back so many memories. Love it!

[mtbman]

Oh mate, my two favourite things in life, woodworking and mountain biking. I'm 40, and I'm still making ramps, and jumping them. It never gets old🚴‍♂️🤘🤘. Love it. Another amazing video mate, thank you. 😀👍. Tom, kilkenny, Ireland

[bqcreations]

Wouah Shane, i'm back on the bike !

[checkshirtjoinery]

That looks amazing mate, really liked the 360 before you popped the top on, really helps get an idea of assembly, cheers.

[OzSawdustMakers]

Good one knackers! I always remember building a huge (flimsy) jump with my mate when we were 10 year olds. I ended up face first into a brick pillar and woke up getting X-rayed with a busted jaw. I've never been too flash at risk assessment!!!

[Higgles]

Great video Shane. Loved all the tips. Watched with my 8 yr old son, and I'm sure he is going to want me to build this soon lol. Keep up the great work. "GREAT TIP KNACKERS !!!" 👍👍🇬🇧

[darylb]

You're a star mate. Going to have a go at the kicker ramp for my boys (10 & 8). Sure it won't look like yours. Lol. Will update. Daryl 🇬🇧

[MangySquirrel]

love it, might have to do this myself. thanks mate.

[CMan]

Nice one! Gonna go watch your next one mate
