You are welcome. With regards to a half pipe I recommend turning the 2x4's so the short side matches up to the riding surface since they will see much more stress on a larger longer ramp. Also depending on how wide you make it you may want to do 2x6's to ensure the ramp doesn't deflect or have strength issues. Best of luck!
He used to run with me on trails all the time back in Idaho. All of the Phoenix metro has leash laws so it is hard to take him riding now. I will see what I can do.
It is hard to say because I haven't seen your child ride. It is likely if they can jump and land safely on a 12-15" ramp then they are ready to step up to something like 18-20" but this high puts much more stress on your ankles and knees when landing on flat. Make sure they land on a down slope or build a landing to avoid injuries. Hope your child has lots of fun and rides safe. Thank you for checking our my videos!
The curve is pretty gradual so it can be done but if you decide to try it be very careful. Also make sure your blade is very sharp, a dull blade will bind with the wood.
Are you wondering how far and high I would jump off it? or how tall and long the ramp is? I don't have the ramp anymore but I think it was around 20" tall and 50" long and I could jump up to two bike lengths at maybe 3.5ft high. Although this took me a couple weeks before I was hitting it fast enough to get that far.
You can make a ramp whatever dimensions you want as long as you have a 10ft+ radius and the base is substantially long you should be fine. I recommend following the link in the description for the plans of this ramp. The plans are written so they efficiently utilize 1 sheet of plywood. For the ramp in the plans the length is 48" and the height is 15".
I definitely think it is something you should have the ability to make with supervision from an adult. Make sure you have an adult help you if you are using power tools and wear your personal protective equipment like safety glasses. Better yet work on it together with your parents as a fun family activity.
Haha me too! But unfortunately I am just learning to jump. Maybe if you stick around and subscribe I will try it in a future video. Might be a bit though, in the hospital with 5 broken ribs and a concussion from a crash at a bike park. Need to heal up.
You can get a cheep jig saw on amazon for $25 that would be sufficient for this project. www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-Jig-Amp-BDEJS300C/dp/B00OJ72L84/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=jigsaw&qid=1609555640&sr=8-6. You can also use a hand saw for the 2x4 cross cuts. Hope this helps.
LOL, no joke! Wood is crazy right now. The plywood where I am is like $65/sheet right now and 2x4s are $8 each. Way more expensive than back when I made this video. Hopefully the prices of wood will go down again sometime soon.
I respect your opinion and would love if you could post a video and share your design. I find this method is a good balance between cheap, sturdy, and easy to assemble, but I am always happy to learn something new. I look forward to seeing your video!
@@devincrighton4376 The design isn't the issue, its the way you assembled it and the order you assembled it in, there are many videos on youtube where they are using the correct method and order, if you watch it back I'm sure you will be able to figure out where you could of made it easier for yourself and your viewers that will be attempting this..

Is a 19in ramp too high for my 10 yr old? He's good on his bike with riding wheelies and jumping his selfmade dirt slopes.
It is hard to say because I haven't seen your child ride. It is likely if they can jump and land safely on a 12-15" ramp then they are ready to step up to something like 18-20" but this high puts much more stress on your ankles and knees when landing on flat. Make sure they land on a down slope or build a landing to avoid injuries. Hope your child has lots of fun and rides safe. Thank you for checking our my videos!
Can i use a circular saw to cut the slope?
The curve is pretty gradual so it can be done but if you decide to try it be very careful. Also make sure your blade is very sharp, a dull blade will bind with the wood.
What height did you end out with on the jump. Guess lenght is ... 1 bike lenght.
Are you wondering how far and high I would jump off it? or how tall and long the ramp is? I don't have the ramp anymore but I think it was around 20" tall and 50" long and I could jump up to two bike lengths at maybe 3.5ft high. Although this took me a couple weeks before I was hitting it fast enough to get that far.
What is the height and length of the side piece?
You can make a ramp whatever dimensions you want as long as you have a 10ft+ radius and the base is substantially long you should be fine. I recommend following the link in the description for the plans of this ramp. The plans are written so they efficiently utilize 1 sheet of plywood. For the ramp in the plans the length is 48" and the height is 15".
What brand of shoes is that at 6:00?
The yellow shoes are Specialized Comp Mountain Bike Clipless Shoes. I have ridden them for about 5 years now and they have been great.
@@devincrighton4376 Thank you so much!
I’m only 12 years old do you think this is to difficult for a kid like me to make idk it looks like a fun project for me to work on
I definitely think it is something you should have the ability to make with supervision from an adult. Make sure you have an adult help you if you are using power tools and wear your personal protective equipment like safety glasses.

The song: we’ll be right back
I like ur surname
Its the same as mine
That is cool!
No offense, I was kind of sad that you didn’t hit it max speed
Haha me too! But unfortunately I am just learning to jump. Maybe if you stick around and subscribe I will try it in a future video. Might be a bit though, in the hospital with 5 broken ribs and a concussion from a crash at a bike park. Need to heal up.
Devin Crighton oof, you good now tho?
@@rainbowmustache1966 doing great all healed up and just had a baby girl. Life couldn't be better 🙂👍.
@@devincrighton4376 eyy thats nice
Is a 19 in ramp too high for my 10 yr old?
The only bad thing is the cutter thing is like 200 bucks lol

Hail Nimrod! lol
Now in 2021: a $2,000 ramp
LOL, no joke! Wood is crazy right now. The plywood where I am is like $65/sheet right now and 2x4s are $8 each. Way more expensive than back when I made this video. Hopefully the prices of wood will go down again sometime soon.
please don't follow this guys instructions!! There are much easier ways of doing this.. Sorry
