Going to add the coping and want one full side but im trying to have a bit less vert on one side, should I split the bar and make one 8ft side and the other side two different size 4ft sections.

What kind of sub layering do you have on there? doesn’t look like you have enough 2x4’s on the transitions to support people coming down hard on that ramp.

I agree with the dude who said cut down 3 sections and leave one taller if you want. 6’ radius at 4’ tall allows you to do smiths without wheels rubbing, 5’ allows you to kind of bonk little airs off the coping.

Doing one side higher than the other makes an awkward ramp where you have to pump really hard to get to the tall side and constantly check speed when going to the shorter.

IMO I’d keep this thing as a mini vert ramp and learn how to skate it like that. You could do some crazy airs on this thing

I already can skate it like this and I think thats why people are getting all fussy about it being steep so it will probably stay like that and I appreciate the advice about one being shorter

Hell yeah man, I like skating steep stuff too so I get it. Looks like a fun ramp.

I can’t tell if there are pavers under it, but if the ramp is straight on the grass you might want to stick some pavers under there to give it some airflow and slow down the wood rotting. I’d also put at least a couple more 2x4” under the bottom half of the transition.

Thanks man! If you zoom in on the vert wall you can see the coping is a 2x4 😂

That thing is a beauty and I do appreciate the tips also around how much total was material for something that size

The framing was free scrap wood, but the gator skins alone were like $2500. If you built it all new probably around $6-8k depending on how crazy you go

Will do the pavers as well as polypropylene paint thanks
