wow. I'd love to have that in my back garden... actually just a quarterpipe would suffice.  That looks like a lot of fun.

cheers guys, i want to try and have a barbeque, jam, soon. But numbers will be limited due to the fact i dont want to frighten the neighbors with a bunch, of scary old men on kids bikes taking over the street  ;D
I just would like to say another thankyou to all the guys who have helped me out, and look forward to some fun sessions :daumenhoch:

CHEERS steve

so had to get a replacement scooter pronto.... wife was not happy ;D

thats looking well sweet steve,im glad the wood was ok :daumenhoch:

Title: Re: backyard ramp
Post by: steve1275 on August 13, 2006, 09:44 PM

me neighbors are cool with it, as i talked with them first and also asked them to let me know if there was anything they were not happy about.
but the only thing they were concerned with is anyone falling off the platform into their garden...
Plus my garden backs onto fields so there is nobody really looking over the ramp.

cheers steve :daumenhoch:

Lovely ramp mate.  After about 16 years out, just built myself a 6ft mini (bitd it would have been called a halfpipe but now it's too small).  Having seen pics like this and Billy's ramp and of course Carlo's, I know think I should have forked out the extra cash for something proper...  :-\ We'll see how I get on this year and I may have to end up building something bigger.  :-\

Cheers for the comments guys, had a few sessions on the ramp now . Carlo popped round and had a quick go.
its quite fast as its only got 10feet of flat, but once you have ridden it a few times its no problem.
radmandan you are welcome round anytime dude as you will progress superfast being a younggun.
anyway checkout the pick of carlo.  my wife sneaked this picture while he was riding. this is carlo chilling
