ramps for my shop

[bcd]

so after i get my 40x40 shop i want to put some ramps in.

i like this setup a lot with lots of variables for left and rights.

a little tight, but i like 5' height for the box, 4' seems a little small.

nice, id hit em

after looksing at the spacing maybe i should just have
them like 3 bowls with no flat. or make the box like 6'.

sorda cool to tweek in SW. i can really see how it would
look.

What rads are you running? Looks good though, I'd get dizzy after 5 minutes though, lol.

60 deg. this would give me more room though.

I'm gonna go ahead and make a guess. You'll be on a 20 within 4 months of building those.

It hink you would honestly have more fun if you made the box into a spine. it would give you a little recovery room and allow for a less tight park (better on 26 wheels). basically put two halfpipes back to back and have hips into them.

Kyle,

like this, thats a 1' deck on the 5' spine. yeah, i bet this would allow
for a better time less dizzyness.

I would say at one end to switch it up with a wedge instead of the quarterpipe. Or if you want some speed a roll in 4 ft wide in the corner with a wedge next to it and a perpindecular wedge. A small funbox of sort. It would give you more variety. Maybe shorten the spine and a funbox next to it, if you really want to mix it up.

Exactly. I think that would be much better, but instead of the kicker into the spine, make a kicker into the left end of the left half pipe, and a kicker into the right end of the right pipe. it would allow form some fun transfers/hips, and it makes a super fun line (our local park has something almost exactly like that)

EDIT, here is a picture of our park that kinda shows the halfpipe/spine/halfpipe along with the hip into it on one end.

Kyle,

my floor is 40x40, i am limited to a total lenght or it will have
no flat bottom. also i have ne pedal into or \rollin room.
so i need something i can get into and go back and forth
in the jump out.

thanks for the input though.

I think you could do it, especially if you built a curved berm/wallrider in the other corners so you could really whip around into it.

Maybe try to put a box and spine right next to each other in the middle, maybe only 6' wide. Just to give a little variety going back and forth. Maybe mount a rail somewhere too, on top of the box, or angled down one of the lips.

[Jake21]

Yeah thats going to be tough. I would say start with your orginal design and maybe build another ramp or 2 and try switching it up.
