Chicago_Girly Posts : 20 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 04, 2005 get a good flexable wood but make sure you have a concrete layer of flooring underneath it so it doesnt fold with in the grass.

half_pDude Posts : 44 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 04, 2005 I don't actually have any grass in my backyard. i live sort of off-road. it's all caly and hard dirt behind me. so yeah. question: can dirt ruin your bearings? can dirt ruin your skateboard?

RoNkyCoffin Posts : 49 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 06, 2005 Dirt can ruin your bearings if it gets into them...but there's cleaning kits. My advice if you're planning to make an actual park, is you pave a square first, so that you have a flat surface to roll on. If you're just making a mini-ramp, then just level the ground and build right on the dirt.

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 08, 2005 ^dood, dirt can freaking ruin ur bearings real quick. out here in smaller towns, its a real problem. and cleaning kits are a pain in the ass to mess with.

RoNkyCoffin Posts : 49 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 08, 2005 I found the Bones one rather easy to use.

Whisky Posts : 1138 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 09, 2005 WHOA DUDE. Are you gonna name it AMERICAN WASTELAND? because that would be GNARLY DOOD! No but seriously your gonna put all that stuff in your backyard? Because that would take forever to build & a ton of $$$

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 11, 2005 ^i was thinking the exact same thing....that is abuttload of cashola.

RoNkyCoffin Posts : 49 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 12, 2005 I was thinking bullshit, but I may as well give advice in case someone else is thinking more realistically and needs tips.

half_pDude Posts : 44 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 17, 2005 Well, let's just say money isn't exactly a problem for me. I happen to have a lot of dough.

monkeyskater Posts : 11 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 02, 2006 IM RICH TOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive got $32.46 in my wallet. if ur skate junk is gonna be outside, cold rolled sheet metal over all ur ramps(super fast), or some skate light stuff(since uve got $$$)ply wood, 2x4s. its all the same. put a covering over the wood(ex: skate light, metal) so it will last. if ur thinkin all urself screw it. ur gonna need help. to make the perfect, and i mean perfect curve in ur QPs, get a bucket, mark six o clock, get a string, pencil, and draw your transition. as u get the pencil around the bucket it will draw an oval shape giving the perfect transition. hells yea

half_pDude Posts : 44 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 04, 2006 you only have that much in your wallet? woah man, you're rich. nah. jk. but that's really not that much compared to me. i got 500 buckz in my wallet. so yeah. but thnx for the advice guys. i'll start on it as soon as it gets drier around here. k?

monkeyskater Posts : 11 OFFLINE	Posted on Jan 07, 2006 500 slappers eh? i could make that $$$$$$$$$$$$ do tricks.

atntheskater Posts : 1638 ONLINE	Posted on Feb 20, 2006 ^^^ what the fuck? anyway to answer your question use 3/8" inch Plywood, preferably spruce and make sure its canadian. To build the frame use 3/4" plys and 8 Ft pine studs. after building the frame use two layers of 3/8" inch plywood to form a solid ramp. and to make it nice and smooth use 3/8 inch mdf board. also if you want to know how to get good slope go to Heckler.com and thell tell you real nice. ohhh yeah 1 and 1/2 inch coping is ideal. atntheskater
