superb m8 just what i needed :daumenhoch:

If I were to build a ramp with limited space, I'd rip off the T1's little mini ramp. What's cool is that one side its a regular 4ft mini but the over side is a vert wall and mega tight 1/4. Small. but way less limited than a regular mini.
If you pause the following video at 0.45 seconds you get a quick view of it. looks so fun.

superb stuff cheers m8
if i could only find some better pics i would go for it :daumenhoch:

I worked as a ramp builder for many years through the 90s. When you're ready to start PM me any questions you have and I'll help you along :)

:LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
I'll think you'll agree, my best work got done when he wasn't around ;)
-
Mmmmm I think the ONLY work got done when you were around Rob!!! If Andy went anywhere the "workforce" of drainer, doug, kelly etc just completely stopped!!!!!
2 things that still make us laugh is "FINGERS! F-INGERS!!" every 5 mins & "MARRRRRRRRRRRRRK" the speccy scottish guy who im sure was in love with andy!? :LolLolLolLol:

Id love to build one me,
but theres no good spot in my yard.
Building ramps is really fun & easy.
Its just common sense.
A tip (sorry if its obvious) is to fill the flat bottom with sand, maybe a tiny bit of cement too.
It provides a stiff base and makes the ramp lot a lot longer.

Now....... that DID sound preachy..... ;)
Explain to me please why exactly you need sand and/or cement in the flat bottoms of your ramps?
