Skateboarding - Build a Ramp Jump in 10 easy steps

Whether you are on skateboards, bicycles or inline skates you really need to jump a ramp to catapult into the air and do all those crazy aerial stunts. You've probably already tried and flights of other nations, but want a better course in their backyard. Read on and I'll tell you how to go about it ....

Step one

Jump Starter

Learn how you can jump ramps, is the best way to discover what kind of ramp is in itself. If you find that you likewrite what you like about them, so you can copy for your ramp. Interested in the height and the transition to be taken, why not a photo on your mobile too, if you get to design your own.

Step Two

Collect all the notes and photographs and put yourself and make your ramp to the paper. Decide what you want to go, do not go overboard with, if you are a beginner, you can always start a bigger ramp in the future.

Step Three

If the designWant to draw on paper, you must control the shape of the transition (the sides of the ramp) to draw some plywood. Place the best way to do this is to put a large piece of wood on the floor, tie a rope about 8 feet long, a pencil, pen in one corner of the plywood, which extends along the rope and the extension beyond the short edge of the plywood and anchor the end of the string on the floor. You can then turn the rope as well as continue to do so. Maybe you need to playwith the length of the string and the anchor point of the curve you want.

Step Four

If you outlined the curve on the plywood and you're happy with it, you can cut the shape with a hacksaw. Make sure you have an adult to help you ....

Step Five

If you cut the shape of the edges are nice and smooth with some sandpaper or electric sander. Then you can put on another sheet of plywood, or if you had your head when you screw providedthe ramp, you might be able to get both sides of the transition from a sheet of plywood. Trace around the first transition and cut to match the sand.

Step Six

Now you have two identical pieces that you should clip along at about 2 "by 4" wood. Nail or screw with a length at each corner. If you're smart, you will be the same width of the ramp you cut the material for the guidance of the curved surface of the ramp to save you, must be used.

Step Seven

Fix more2 "by 4" s in length between the curved sections of the transitions at 6 "intervals. Make sure they are securely fastened and your ramp will last longer. Bolt from the outside in at least two screws at each end for best results. Pilot the holes for the screws to prevent splitting.

Step Eight

Glue and nail a piece of flexible two layers on the running surface, obviously you are out of your ramp has the right width, this record without him ...

Stepnine

Install a thin flat piece of metal on the bottom of the ramp to bridge the gap and provide a transition between the ramp and the floor. Make sure that there are no exposed nails or screw heads on the ramp or wheels and tires will not last long.

Step Ten

We hope that you are finished with a strong robust design. Test the strength of the ramp with the weight of your body before you use it. It would be a shame to break the neck before all the trouble ....
