that's pretty tough.  'crete it up so's you can slide around on it.

lol boulder coping.

[krusher]

I have a room in my house that is 12X10' with 100" ceiling and I plan to build a mini ramp in it.  One wall will have coping and the other will be a wall ride. My question is how deep should I make the platform? I know from the tip of the nose of my favorite board to the back truck is 22 inches but since i need room, I'm guessing a 16" deck will be fine.

Any suggestions or comments?

[elastic back]

it will be tight eitherway. how tall are you going to make it? and are you building it 12' long and 10' wide or vice versa?

[krusher]

12' long 10' wide meaning I'll have ten feet of coping. I'm planing on making the side with coping at 30" tall so I don't have to duck much. I'm guessing of using a 6 foot radius for tranny and using my hard wood floor as the flat bottom to save ceiling height.

I measured 16" against a wall and tried to stand in that space, it's possible but uncomfortable. At 18" from the wall it's much more comfortable, so I might go 17" just to save an inch of flat bottom haha. I have a big closet that I can use as a waiting area if I have friends over but it goes the opposite direction of the platform.

I guess I'm asking if anyone has experience skating a ramp with a small deck, and what was their take on it?

make the deck big enough  to properly deck rock and rolls, or your ramp sucks.

Is it really that satisfying doing a rock&roll on a 30" ramp?

If I put a 22" deck with coping on one side, and a wall ride on the other, both with 6' trannys in a 12 foot room I'll have no flat bottom.

I'm looking for a compromise... I don't want my tiny bedroom ramp to suck as much as a tiny bedroom ramp could.

I pick up the wood tomorrow... the best part... it's all FREE!

Thanks for the help guys

If you can't do rock n rolls and disasters, it's not a ramp.

You do know that sawhorses are cheaper than hospital visits and stitches right?

Worse than that, they had sawhorses and a circular saw and instead they're using a sawzall to cut 2x4s.

We nearly lost our beloved Polly.. She's lucky to be alive after that.
