Portable Ramps

[mountainfun]

Hi All

 

Lockdown is getting tough, but 1 May is Freedom Day!

 

Even if only allowing me to ride down my street.

 

I'm VERY VERY keen to build/get a portable ramp. Any suggestions?

 

This one looked super awesome!!

 

 

Thanks

Go for it! I have made one before. You only need a jigsaw, a sheet of plywood and a single plank. And obviously drill and fasteners. I made one with a 6ft radius which was too steep. I suggest a 8-9ft curve radius. Making it folding will be more tricky.

It’s a terrible idea, therefore you should definitely do it.

 

I've spent many an afternoon not doing homework and screwing around with the ramps we built. They are especially fun if you can launch into embankments.

I built one similar to the one on GMBN. Was about 40cm high and 110cm long. I'm not great at jumping but it got me a little air during lockdown

I actually made a very non-portable one this afternoon.  I tipped a Grecian water bath onto its side, stabilised it with braai wood, put a board over it, and voila!!

 

Now I must just figure out how to upload a pic or two..

Pics attached...

Next step is to make the ramp shorter...

Hopefully future pics don't turn too bloody!!
