ramp

[Ruby Soho]

started a ramp for the pitbikes

this is like 3 or so hours of work, not quite done but its getting there

what do you guys think so far?

[Dan_Guetter]

Might end up being a little long for a pit bike ramp. IMO

[greenblood01]

Are you building a foam pit to land it? lol.

[insaneracin2003]

looks good. How tall is it?

[Ruby Soho]

5ft tall

we have a real big landing at my buddies house we have to build up alittle

[XCpred]

I think i'd never hit that on my pit bike lol get some pics of you guy's hitting it when you're done.

[Honda#4]

Looks real good Joe nice work.

[Rootar]

i need to get around to finishing my pitbike foam pit..... and a ramp woulf be good too...... :o quit reminding me of all the crap i need to finish...

[yfzrider310]

how much was total cost for all the metal? Im looking to build one soon also what did you do to get the bend of the tubing for the ramp. Do you know what the angle of it was?

[Ruby Soho]

metal was all free as were supplies haha

ill get tons of action pics when its done

and rootar.. a pitbike foam pit? i wanna see that one!:eek2:

[Rootar]

haha i already have the foam (5 big polevualt mats) i got one cut up into cubes already and i still gotta cut up the other 4 mats, its easy but time consuming and it stinks like burnt hair......

whats the final angle on that ramp it looks like itd be a great flip ramp.....

[250x_kyle]

yup looks good. as long as you pulled diagonals on the base to make sure it was square wich is a simple task any village idiot can do. we built a 4 footer at my buddys house. still havent finished the metal work for the face. dang work and fixen our toys

[Ruby Soho]

yea its all squared up, and sturdy as hell haha.

its got a few more pieces to go, and still need to come up with a surface for it.

[Ruby Soho]

heres a picture of it as is

[250x_kyle]

yeah the metal mesh (i forget what its called) is real pricy at about 80 a quare yard and youd want two layers ate least .

[Ruby Soho]

yeah i wanted to use that stuff, or a layer of sheet metal then the mesh, but i dunno. don't have many options i guess

[250x_kyle]

we just sheat metal half way up ours and thought about a rough bed linder coating or plasti dip up the middle. itd be better to hook up on then regular sheet metal

[Ruby Soho]

heres a picture of it with the wheels on (they will come off when it goes where it stays)

and the flip up end all together

actually, thats whats next:devil:

after that i just need to weld a few more things, paint it and then surface it

[250x_kyle]

id weld some gussets in on the up right supports it wouldnt hurt.

[Ruby Soho]

ya im going to add some around the entire thing.

can't wait till its done

[Rootar]

interesting, i didnt even notice you used rebar........ that sure would be super cheap compared to squar tubing. i havent decided if i wanna build min out of wood or metal yet?

[Pipeless416]

looks like death with two wheels.. i like it :D
