| Hello, Im going to build a half pipe. Tell me what you think of the sketch I made. [img]  [/img] Size: 21" long, 8 1/2" wide, 7 1/2" deep. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas for me. Like bigger or smaller, taller or shorter. If you want I will post pictures of it while I'm building it to keep you updated on the progress. -Logical |

...which would be a half pipe? The first "half pipes" were just pipes people skated, and they had no flat bottom. It makes them a little easier to skate but it's not needed. And both look good man  |

| A flat bottom makes the ramps more fun/easier to use |

| To be completely honest, a mini-ramp is a lot more fun to ride than vert, unless you just plan on doing airs and grabs and whatnot. Nothing wrong with a vert ramp, but for overall use, flip tricks, stalls and so forth a halfpipe without the vert is much easier and more realistic to trick out of and ride back into. |

| This one is being made like the plans on the paper, and made of cardboard (atm I dont have any plywood).
Once I do have plywood I will make another but with a much greater flat bottom.
