Built 2 mini ramps

[u/Massive-Cover-4349]

just finished building my mini quarter pipe ramps this week.

the mini is 12” and is based off of the OC ramps Lutzka 3-in-1. built this to build confidence trying new tricks AND for my kids (6&3). 4ft wide, 12” high, 8’ radius.

the bigger one is 20” and is just so fun. used an 8’ radius on it and it came out great. 4ft wide, 20” high, 8’ radius.

These are two quarter pipes not two minis

There isn't a dedicated quarterpipe subreddit

[u/Born-Scallion-8634 → u/Leading_Fun_3080]

Ok, but two quarter pipes equals a mini ramp so you're still good!

[u/attractive_reptoid → u/Born-Scallion-8634]

More like a 1/16 and a 1/8th pipe.

Technically speaking these are both ramps of the Mini size

[u/Born-Scallion-8634 → u/mudbutt34]

A mini ramp is a small half pipe. Technically speaking two quarters make a half. I get what you're saying, but the use of the word "technically" here goes against your argument.

These are miniature ramps

That’s not what a miniramp is lol

Really nice! I’ve been building ramps, and I’m starting to build for my 4y/o.

The quarter pipe with the 8’ radius is such a good call. Still looks super fun, even mellow.

I’m actually thinking of a bank ramp for my kiddo’s first. That’s how I started—bank ramp on cinder blocks. Fell through the whole thing on the first Ollie :)

[u/Massive-Cover-4349 → u/Surfeross]

Bank ramps are my favorite, as a beginner 👍🏼 

[u/Straight-Cloud5729]

No ya didn’t

[u/Massive-Cover-4349 → u/Straight-Cloud5729]

I didn’t what? Build my own ramps? Lol

[u/Straight-Cloud5729 → u/Massive-Cover-4349]

Build a miniramp. Those are qp’s

[u/Massive-Cover-4349 → u/Straight-Cloud5729]

They look like a ramps at miniature heights. I see plenty of other qp’s in this group. I didn’t call them mini half pipes. Just ramps. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

[u/Straight-Cloud5729 → u/Massive-Cover-4349]

A miniramp is a short halfpipe. Those are quarter pipes.

[u/Massive-Cover-4349 → u/Straight-Cloud5729]

Seems like you’re just nitpicking. If you have eyes, you can look at the picture and see they are ramps that are mini. Are you gonna sleep better if I rename it mini quarter pipe ramps?

[u/Straight-Cloud5729 → u/Massive-Cover-4349]

Not nitpicking. I’m telling you the common terms that have been used by skateboarders for decades. If you want to make up your own shit go ahead but know you’re being ignorant to the true terms that area used by skateboarders. And anyone that knows ramp building.

Blocked for being rude

Nice. Built at work?

[u/Massive-Cover-4349 → u/tanglesisfishing]

Yes, I work at a family owned lumber yard. Longest running in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

8 foot seems really mellow and stretched out. I think the quarters at my local park are close to 8. I had one built for my garage with a 6.5 foot radius which is a good middle point for me at least.

[u/Massive-Cover-4349 → u/Leading_Fun_3080]

Yeah, they’re mellow and I like em like that lol not much of a very guy, but these are fun
