So I had the idea come to mind the other day of making famous/well known skate spots from all over the world, into scale sized for fingerboarding. It'd be like Brooklyn Banks/China Wall/Wahlberg, etc.. I'd make the base out of wood and then cover it all in cement and doing all the crazy little details from there, whether it had skate stoppers, to graffiti, etc.. Making it realistic as possible. Each ramp would be under $20 shipped. They'd be light weight, and worth the sesh! Would you like to see this happen?

instead of saying "would you like to see this happen" and "i had an idea" you should just actually go ahead an make some awesome replica spots, an post some pics of the real spot and your replicas, dont worry about who wants to buy one or how much you wanna sell them for

it sounds like a really cool project and would be a lot of fun if you got the time

It sounds like it could be pretty awesome if done right!

I love the Tech Deck street spots. Most of them go for $50-150 on eBay (absolutely ridiculous) so it would be nice to see some cheaper ones that are make from something other than plastic.

Do it! First for yourself then post some pictures and think about sales at that point. I would guess the obstacles would easily be $20 to ship alone if they were wood and concrete and reasonably sized.

Wish you actually started this thread off with "Hey I made these replica spots of real life ones, you think you'd be interested in buying them?" instead of saying you had an idea to do this. If you've already made some ramps and shown us your craftsmanship and quality I think you'd have a ton of potential buyers already. Not many ideas actually into a thing so don't back out on us. Also the pricing isn't realistic assuming you actually want to break even. Shipping alone will cost you at least 20 dollars as KapitalJ has stated so you'll either have to raise the price, sell at a lost, or make these ramps small and light enough to ship cheaply.

Show us what you can do and it could happen. If they sell fast you could keep the whole thing up! I'd love to see a replica of clipper!

Please don't bump old threads, generally if a thread hasn't been posted in for 2 weeks or so it's considered old.

Exceptions for stickied topics, and we don't mind too much if you bump it for a very relevant reason.
