Building a mini ramp in the backyard.

[Cascadia]

Can't you just put up a no trespassing sign and then you're covered.

 

[sixstringsteve]

nope. I wish.

"Attractive nuisance" is the words the lawyers will use.

 

[Gravy]

It's 12'x24'x3'.
I plan a signed waiver 18+ or legal guardian signed waiver.
Helmets under 18.
Fence the yard and a chain across the flat bottom.
Then signing in and out. Time and date and initial each time.
No trespassing sign is probably a good idea too.

What time are you starting construction tomorrow? Text me the details

 

[Gravy]

Construction starts at 10am.
Feel free to bring the wife/ significant other, kids.
My wife will be doing a girls thing inside since her hand still hurts.

PM if you need the address.
Everyone is welcome.
Bring an electric drill and a Skateboard or other rolling apparatuse to ride.

One thing you might want to do before skinning it or putting it together would be to paint it with some Thompson's Water seal. The first ramp I built when i was a kid was pretty much placed in the sand. Years later after we had to take it apart the parts coated with the sealer looked brand new compared to the areas the were not.


edit....just looked up and saw you said you planned on doing so

 

[Tacoma]

This should be fun..

or other rolling apparatuse to ride.

[Tonkaman]

[Tacoma]

we used to chain a PVC pipe across both transitions. Worked well.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I can't wait to see the video of you guys riding this.

 

[ChestonScout]

[Gravy]

11:30am is the new start time.
We have to take my wife's friend from England up to the hills and let her shoot a gun, drive a 4x4 and ride a dirt bike.... all things frowned upon in her native land.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I applaud you sir. Good form.

 

[Gravy]

Well the weather was pretty bad yesterday.
We did some work but not much.
Hopefully the weather will clear up and it will be nice enough to work on it this week.

 

[UNSTUCK]

(In a strong British accent) I applaud you sir. Good form.

Fixed it for you.

That must not be a 12g, or she is waaaay more stable than she appears to be..

I'd be down to come help a night or two this week if you need help with it....
