Could you reply and give me exact dimensions and radius and how long the flat part on the lip of your "ramp #1" is? I wanna build one just like it. How far of a gap do you have it at now?

[localboy]

and another thing, did you have a steel bending company bend the peices for the sides, or did you just cut and weld a bunch?

[WaussInd]

lol.. would it be possible to get the plans to that ramp, Nex? I think it'd be the perfect size for my first ramp. I've the got basic thing from your site and a post on here... but perhaps the angle and a little bit of other information? It looks awesome..

[freerider]

check out there website www.nexcorporation.cjb.net and it will be in there!!

[NoFeAr FrEaK #101]

yeah i agree that looks the perfect first ramp 2 learn on. i hoping my bro that is goin into yr 11 next yr will build 1!!

[WaussInd]

freerider... i already have those... but that just tells how tall and long it is.. the thing i'm having the most trouble with is the angle :(

[madshtick]

dudes you all gotta make your own angle from what you want thats the buety of the whole thing just stand the side up against somethin and get a freind to help bend down your transition peice (because it should ben really easy if you read the quantities list u'd know to buy the transition peic half the with of the normal stuff u used for the ramp) and mark your perfect angle with a scribe and transfer it over to the other side with a combination square and a ruler by the end both sides should be the same and the transition should be perfect for you have fun buildin

[AusFMX]

Take it to someone, and find the exact angle, then get some blueprints made up and then sell some copies, there look to be a high demand, gerat ramp for a begginer by the looks of it.

Well this may be hard to understand but ill try.:
The way i built my ramp is i cut the bottom length then the front upright for each side . i welded the font onto the bootom 2 poles, then i layed one of then over and i got an 8 metre peice off string and put a bit of chalk on the end of it. Then my dad held the end of the string and i started from the bottom and drew a line on the cement with the chalk. The line ended up slightly lower that the top upright so i just hand drew it up a tiny bit. then i rubed out the last 1.5 metres and drew that nearly straight. Then i got the first 3 uprights and layed them down and measured how far from the base to the line i had drawn at each point where i decided i was to have an up right. then u cut them and welded them onto the base. Then for the curve i used steel that is 5cm wide but only 2cm high, so it flexes good to hold into shape but is still real strong when its welded in place. Weld the curve on when there is only the first 3 uprights from the base then weld the other uprights in to fit in place. then the rest is pretty easy, just cut the cross supports slightly under 1.2 metres so that it ends up at 1.2 metres wide.Then buy some expanded mesh and i welded it on but you can bolt it if you choose so it is easy to remove. not that you should evr need to. cause its so good.
Hope this helps you all out cause my plans suck on the computer .cause i drew the good plans by hand on paper and they wont scan cause there only light pencil.

That actually helped me out a lot.... thanks a ton, man :)

there is no such thing as a "beginner ramp" if you guys are confident, and want a ramp, buy or make a full sized one, with atleast a 38 degree angle. if you dont you will waste you money going through the process of a few ramps. believe me, if you think your ready to hit a ramp, hit a full sized one. thewy are a lot better. i know peoiple that make smaller ramps, then they jump mine and like mine ten times better. just looking to save you guys a few bucks!

[WaussInd]

I've jumped a full size ramp before... but it just took way too much balls for me, and i was really sketchy the few times that I hit it. If we make a "beginner ramp" (around 7 feet high), it will be totally free, because it's all in a welding class, and all the supplies are free.

Although... maybe I should just build a full size ramp and work it up until i get it clean before throwing some tricks..lol.

OneWest... do you have a Freestyle Industries ramp?

[localboy]

nex thanks dude. for the curve im gonna use 1/8 by 2 inch flat steel. I was gonna get 2 inch square tubing for the curve and get it bent, but that would cost about 120 dollars.

me and 3 friends are gonna build it, and without the deck, the cost for steel is about 270 dollars american.

[slider]

Hummmm, flat steel? You will need a lot of supports but... maybe.

[Nex corporation]

Its not flat steel it rectangular shapped instead of flat. Iv got no more supports in my ramp than any other and it dosnt flex or anything, and its way easier thancutting slots al the way up the ramp.

[localboy]

i dont see how you would need more supports cause even if i used 2 inch square tubing, just about all of the force would still be going through the supports to the ground.

[REISERFMX]

yeh seven ind, i have a freestyle industries ramp, its awesome! i love it!

[WaussInd]

Where exactly is Palo Cedro, CA? Northern or Southern?

[REISERFMX]

its nor cal, about three hours away from you. about two and a half hours north of sacramento. hey what is seven ind?? tried to see if they have a site, all it is is some foriegn fashion clothing thing.

[WaussInd]

lol.. a friend of mine and I have a little metal fabrication business. It's just started, and we're very low on supplies, but our materials are all free for the time being. My friend welds the stuff and we sell them. Lift stands, trailer chalks, little kicker type ramps (to set up on top of a jump :rolleyes: ), and soon, full size ramps. We've sold some stuff already, but we can't really make it fast enough to start advertising much yet :(

The actual meaning behind the name stretches way back before I ever knew about One Industries... so please don't think it's a rip off... lol..

[localboy]

me and my friends were thinking about making ramps to sell, cause we made a 7 foot 6 inch high one in 2 days and it cost us less than 450 dollars, and if people are getting over 1000 dollars for them, we could make lots of $$$$

OneWest... do you have a Freestyle Industries ramp? Where can I buy a ramp? I can't find a place that sells them! :confused:

[Moto-X Alex]

The best place we have found to buy a ramp is trick factory ramps. their site is going to be up soon at www.trickfactory.com. You can Matt the owner at 909-238-1584 and ask him any questions. They are the best. We have 2 of em, and they rule.

[WaussInd]

How much do those ramps run for generally? We're trying to beat the competition when we start selling ours :)

Also.. check out Freestyle Industries (http://www.freestyleindustries.com/). They make real nice ramps for around 2 grand.
