Build the PERFECT BMX Quarter Pipe - Tips and Tricks

Music by David Cutter

DO NOT USE THEIR DIMENSIONS/SPECS THOUGH! USE MINE!!!!!

STUFF NOT MENTIONED IN VIDEO
In order to use one sheet of plywood for both sides you will need to measure the 2ft deck FIRST. Then trace the radius from there (it will make sense when you are doing it). We also braced the middle 2x4 for extra support by attaching it to the base. If you choose to leave your surface with pressure treated plywood I highly recommend staining it! The stain will be absorbed by the wood, make it look pretty, and protect it.

All prices are either taken from my local Home Depot, or are estimates. There are plenty of ways to save money by recycling used wood, utilizing different materials and tools, or even using cheaper screws. This is just based on experience what I find to work the best and make the easiest most solid ramp.

WARNINGS
As always SAFETY FIRST. If you’ve never used a power tool before, have someone there to help you. Ramp Armor is EXTREMELY sharp, DO NOT slide your hands on the edges. File the sharp edges once installed to avoid this. Wear safety goggles, you won’t believe the amount of stuff that will get flung at your eyes. It is possible to build by yourself, but having a friend will make it much easier and faster!

I remember building these as a kid with my dad. Hopefully one day I can just say "I wanna build a quarter pipe today..." LOL Lets do a skateboarding/bmx

[shikaracing]

My dad has been playing the best game of HIDE AND GO SEEK, have not found him since 1998.

Now the biggest takeaway i hope that you get from this video, and the absolutely most important thing that no other YouTuber will tell you is that Adam needs a truck!

[Meg]

does weight makes different when you try to do a bunny hop?

[WatchThisPlay]

All I want to know is if you got the truck back before the hour...

[lilcaesa]

[DukBurd]

[bmxdeathwish]

[freakasound]

[GeeSedan]

When you hit 2, 000, 000 subs Adam....you should try to do a flare

[funniest]

Why is Nicole raising her hand at 0:37

[yaboymason]

It's referred to, "countersinking". Just FYI.. but "drilling a bigger hole so the head can fit in there flush, " works too. Lol. I'm not being a smart ass. I just know a. Little about carpentry. I do want to build my son a quarter pipe tho. This video helps so much! Thanks adamLZ. Great video! As always

[Boosker]

You should go back to CT when you have the time. We've been waiting for a Haggard collab for a while now.

[miquelnavarro]

Hey Adam, could you make a video or a short text talking about Scotty Granmer because I think not too much people know about it and he needs our help.
I love your vids!!

[AmazingChinaToday]

Awesome ramp, but technically it's an 1/8 pipe? 😁

"You're not a rotten tomato, you're better than that!" We have to get that comment trending on every video!
