Ok well first off I couldnt find any of the pics of it half done:mad: But I have some of it finished.
5 feet wide, 4 feet high, 8 feet long

Supplies: 4 pieces of 3/4 ply wood, 12 2x4s, and deck screws i think 1''.

First thing I did was take a piece of plywood and put 2 nails into the opposit corners like this / and tied them together with a piece of string. Then I moved the string until I found a curve I liked and traced it. I used a skill saw or cut it out. then i traced the curve over the the other piece left over from the cut. now that you have the sides make a from out of the 2x4s so that the sides stand up on their own. from here I just made support where i thought would be good spots. just make sure you have the supports matcht he curve so the the wood lays flat. let me know if you need more info.

first i cut out the pieces of plywood for the sides, then i cut 2x4s like 5' long and screwed them between the two sides going up the ramp and on the bottom and back, then screw down the face plywood and your all set, any ?s just ask

my friend has all the plans for ramps like that... its not hard at all just cut the side peices at the angle of your choice then screw 2x4's in from the sides going accross at the anlge of the slope then screw plywood on the top. were going to build a kicker this summer. all he has now is sk8ting ramps.

CAD is a program used to design things. If you do not have it you will not be able to view the files I send you.
