my new ramp!!! sweet!!!

[shirefmx]

hey guys here's some pics of my new ramp!! i havent hit it yet cause of bike troubles but my bro says its sweet.

my ramp is 7foot 9 inches tall and 20ft long. It cost me $20 in angle grinder discs, $110 fpr the plywood, $20 for screws and bolts $20 for metal and the rest was free!! nopt a bad ramp for under $200

first one - me and the big girl along with my mates 6and a half foot tall ramp.

[shirefmx]

oops pic would help

[shirefmx]

2 - side view ... the curve smooth as ... bent it myself with help from my dad and my brother standing on it!

[shirefmx]

3. two of our ratty wooden ramps .... the close ones a pretty cool kicker but i don't think they'll get used anymore. lol

[shirefmx]

4 - front view ... thats my girl wearing one of my shift jerseys!!

[shirefmx]

5- last one my bro luke workin the downie yeah !! ohh and another little tiny wooden ramp in the foreground for coming back down the hill .... these ramps are all part of my small mx track

[shirefmx]

let us know what ya's think. cheers

[Mossy]

omg i love the really big one i'm going to make me 3 of them how much did you say the metal for the frame was????

[shirefmx]

i got most of it for free but had to buy 2 bits which cost me $20 which was cheap for the two bits i got ... if you were paying all up i reckon the steel would cost about $300 but dont quote me on that ... it was piss easy to make too... i'd never welded before and now i'm a pro :lol:

[Mungoman45]

That right there, is one MOTHER of a ramp bro. lookin very smooth, ya should have hours of fun on it. :woot:

And as for the other crappy wood ramps ya got there, as Homer Simpson once stated "Why have hamburgers, when there is Steak right there" Lol. ya catch my drift.

[Robbo66]

pretty trick hey!!

[intense fmx 03]

hey dude..do oyu have plans for that bigger ramp ya made..thanks mate..ps pm them to me if ya can
thanks bro

[shirefmx]

thanks mungo!!!

yeah i think the old woodies will be retiring early. lol

[shirefmx]

hey rhys its basically a rev 1 ... heres the plans i worked off

[fmx_MetaL]

sweeeeeet ramp

[Mungoman45]

GOD DAMN IT, it's times like these i wish i had my CAD software up and runnin at home here. I got a few designs pretty much 3/4 finished & done to scale. Steel thickness, Wood thickness, length everything, even bolt holes, right down to the last millimetre..................... but i cant access them till i get a new version of CAD. I'm hopefully gettin the newest 04 version soon people, THEN we shall see some ramp plans :D :D

Oh, but those ones look snazy too man, as long as ya can work off em i guess, I'm jut a perfectionist, just ask anyone that knows me and the shit i have made for em...................Dan..........;)

[shirefmx]

ha yeah mine are just a hand drawn version of rick distlers rev 1 with the measurements in mm instead of inches and also its been changed a bit cause rick's design had a bit of a hump at the start so i got rid of it ..... they weren't that scrappy... just didn't scan to well ..... but they've got All the info anyone needs if they wanna build a ramp like mine. :)

[RIDEfmx666]

hey shire are those the ramps u might bring out 2 my place

[shirefmx]

yeah or i could make a new one ..... i'll probly make a new one cause those two are 3 hours away and they are a pain to transport ... i wanna make one thats on a trailer like jp's... or i could make and exact replica of either of the two ramps in the pics...

[Good Karma]

Hey would you be able to rescan that please? some of the measurements i cant read.

[shirefmx]

uummmm i lost it ... lol

i put a post up ages ago with the measure ments written down i'll see if i can find it

[shirefmx]

heres the post i was talkin bout:

oh yeah measurments are in mm ... and if you cant read em they go (from right to left) : 40, 40, 65, 90, 121.25, 158.75, 202.5, 271.25, 352.5, 465, 602.5, 733.75, 858.75, 1040, 1208.75, 1415, 1616, 1865, 2115, 2327.5


and the angles are (from top to bottom) : 38*20', 38*20', 38*20', 34*10', 30*15', 32*7', 22*37', 14*2', 7*43', 5*21' 4*46'. (* = deegrees, ' = minutes)

[shirefmx]

hope that makes sense!

[Good Karma]

ummm lol, i kinda dont understand it, lol.

[shirefmx]

thise numbers are the numbers taken along the bottom of the ramp from the bottom to the top ... taken every 1 foot

[globe_2001]

its a awesome ramp i want 1

[shirefmx]

give me $ 1300 and i'll make you one

[redbull_fmx]

hey dude the small metal one how much did it cost to build

[Robbo66]

heres some plans for a 3d aussie comp ramp.. with out the dimensions because it is a lot of work.. but if any of you need full dimensions for any size ramp.. real cheap.. pm me

if ya gonna charge people, ya might wanna make sure that the are in perspective. that one a bit out'of wack ;) :p

[shirefmx]

i don't think theres much of a market for just simple plans cause you can get em anywhere on the net ... the full sized plans with build guide and that are a good idea though ...

lol, yeah, that was my first time trying 3d drawings. i normally go 2d, with full dimensions etc..

[Mungoman45]

I make my ramp plans the same as you Yammy_85, and they arn't 3D, they're only projected 2D drawings, yet still do the job rather nicely for something pretty to look at. All mine are 100% to scale including steel thickness' used also. I have actually started to teach myself proper 3D modeling for my ramps and it's payin off, cause they're so much more versatile and look a shitload better. But anywho, nice work on your plans, and i dont think they look too much outta scale really :) and you'll find if ya do it 100% to scale, ya can get full dimensions on them aswel down to .000 of a millimetre ;), even better than flat plans.

NOT BRAGGIN OR NOTHIN..hahahahaha:p

[Mungoman45]

hehe, who me?, never, LOL.

I just seen the term "3D" gettin thrown around a bit and, well, it isn't, not sayin the plans don't look nice and work like a charm, cause they do :cool: but they're not 3D.

[armoss]

nice ramp man i had a fully sik ramp but me and my mate got raiped with it we had it all made and sh!t then the guys place we were gonna put it at said nah we cant have it there no more then we couldnt get dirt so i sold it to my mate and that ramp cost me 40 bucks and a 8 pack of woddys lol fo a guy who gave me this fully sik paint and for the covering we used old road sings like thick as ones it was awsome hit it on bmx and died lol
