So, we all should be well aware that, no matter how long you've been skating, mini-ramps are fun as hell. They support pretty much any style of skating, from street-style flips to vert style airs, it can be done a nice mini. One problem, though. What if their aren't any public minis? Who really wants to pay $15 a day to skate an indoor park? No one. That is why I am providing you with a nice plan for a mini that will keep you entertained day after day.
The ramp you are making should be approximately 4 feet high by 8 feet wide. A perfect size.
Supplies:
For this box you will need a bunch of two by four's, a sheet of ply wood metal coping (make sure its pretty hard. Soft Coping dents when you land on grinds). You can get the coping at any hardware store. It's not really coping but it works. Then you can't forget the most important part... The screw driver and some screws!
1. First you have to build the Frame. Right Now you only need one frame but In total you will need to make 3 of these. Measure out your 2 by 4's like the ones here and then screw them together.
