corby vert ramp

<< < (5/5)

TwoBobRob:
Why do these people insist on adding an offcut of plywood at the top of the transition?????   Epic has the same thing.

Really pisses me off.

Put it at the bottom, then run two full sheets up to the coping and trim to suit. That way you'll never get a bump or a kick in the tranny.

Makes for a better ramp.  Just my opinion, obviously   ;) ;D


Looks big though eh?  I'm looking forward to riding it   :daumenhoch:

PaulM:
Egg, is that you in your sig pic at Woodward?

If so whats that ramp like and how wide is their resi? 13.5 ft tall ramp aint it?

Cant wait till Corbys one is done, prob gonna go on the Sunday after the Rad x-mas bash.

Cheers

Paul

yeah that's me in the pic at woodward west.that ramp is 13.5ft high too and a treat to ride :daumenhoch: the resi section there is 16ft wide which feels a little narrow compared to the rest of the ramp.

dirtyvans:
looks mental, its not that far from birmingham, we might as well go there on the sunday after epic, like paul said - be rude not to!

this is a cost saving method. that bit at the top is what takes a beating around the coping area so when its that knackered they can replace smaller sheets of wood, rather than a complete piece of 8x4

failing that. there might be a top skin to go on top of that last pic and they don't want to joins together
