\"Tracy<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is how I built a mini ramp for skateboarding in my basement. It’s less of a “how-to” than a “how-I-did-it.” I built a number of ramps growing up. Also, I was a steelworker in a shipyard through my twenties so I have my own methods of working from that experience that may be helpful to some folks.<\/p>\n

I should have blogged this as I was doing it. I did post a project log in the forums at RampPlans.org<\/a>, but even some of that was well after the fact. Even though I’ve built a number of ramps before, I learned a lot from many of the previous contributors to RPDO.<\/p>\n

Let me state now that this is not the normal way to build a ramp. Usually, you complete the entire frame and then add the layers. For the reasons I mention below, I made this using modular construction. You know, the way aircraft carriers are built.<\/p>\n

This ramp has been done for almost nine months and I skate it almost every day. I kept putting off posting it because I wanted to format it to be easier to understand, but now I just want to put out there.<\/p>\n
