How to make a wooden ramp?

[MotoMan40]

Well, I won't be able to get to the track or trails very often, so I have decided that I am going to build a wooden ramp. I live in a neighborhood and my friends and I build dirt ramps in our gardens every fall, but our parents always make us take them down to plant their gardens.? So my dad is taking me to lowes today and I am going to buy a bunch of plywood. I was thinking about making it 6' long by 2' wide, but I don't know how tall it should be. Also, should the take off and landing ramps be set at 30 degrees? Is there anything else I should know or consider before building my ramp?

idk, but make sure you make the ramp curved. not just a straight peice of plywood set up at 30 degrees on 2 2X4's

fmxschool.com

Why does it have to be curved? To shoot you up instead of far?

Also, check out the FMX section.

Credit goes to Miniracer88 at planetminis.com . These designs are for a full scale comp. ramp. It doesnt give you a step by step how to build only the dimentions ?. Wood or steel ramp.

"just scale down the numbers, i made mine 5 feet high, the pic is for a steel ramp but i have wood and steel ramps. be creative my fmx ramp is 3 feet 7inches wide and you can do a mad wip off it!!"

When you scale it down you need to scale down the tranny too.

I was thinking of making more of a tabletop, not a fmx ramp. I don't like flat landings. This ramp is going to be an expensive one though. We went to lowes and everything is going to total out at $65.

A wooden kicker with a pile of dirt for landing. I wooden table top is going to really suck having to move. It's one thing to take off on wood, it's another to land on it. I don't think it will hold up very well to landing.

A wooden tabletop? It Would be huge. Not very practical or easy to move around like Breeze said. I'm gonna make one to a step-up on a little hill I have and I might make another for the backyard. I gotta get plans for a landing or just get a pile of dirt. My dads a contractor so he can get the materials and help me build it.

I was just thinking tabletop because I am tired of breaking my back building and taking down a dirt ramp. what I could always do is make the tabletop and put dirt over it to make a huge ramp.

Yes. Then the middle cave in and have a huge double.

dont forget the landing caving in too. Then you're back to square one with just a kicker. Do it right the first time, and DONT make a wooden landing.

My friends and I gathered some extra wood around the garage today and make this ramp in about an hour. I don't have any close up pictures but we get a decent amount of air off of it(and that is in first gear).
