PostSubject: New ramp company   New ramp company EmptySat Dec 24, 2011 6:30 am

I've been tossing this idea in my head now for some time, and have decided to go through with it.

I'll be asking a lot of questions over the next few days as to what you guys would like to see ramp wise, pricing wise and the company name. Just drop a message here with your ideas, whether it be pictures or words. I'd like to try and make a successful company, not a huge company, but one where you guys can help me expand and do things right before I release the product.

A few ideas of mine, first :

- I plan on using both wood and a concrete like material

- My plan is to try and give the ramps a street feel, so what you'd skate when cruising around a city.

- I already had two ramp ideas in mind, one being a curb with model bricks set into both sides of the grinding surface, and the other being a banked version of the previous said ramp.

Thanks guys happy

Well it is hard to be original, not hating, but nearly every ramp company is the same, so I'm not really stealing your ideas. If my ramps are too similar too anothers, then give me advice, not put me off. I could say both yours and my ramps are similar to BRR and Harriers.

Anyway, if anyone has something they'd like to see in a ramp, or something I could mash together, just say happy

I haven't created digital images of the newer stuff. I was just playin' around. Most of the ramps on that page I am not even doing. I'll catch up on my drawings.

Boring, I know, but I just finished a basic bench that I may sell. This is only very rough, as I was using the wrong size ply I'd normally use, and I haven't sealed it yet, but this is just to give you an idea as to what it'll look like. I tried to make it look a little different to other benches on the market, such as the wide riding surface, but hey, if you guys don't like or think I could improve it, just say!

I'll countersink the coping, definately. What did you have in mind for a 2 in 1 sort of bench?

Idk? Be creative? Add a rail towards the end like a short one? Bank? Kicker? If you turn it sideways it becomes something else? Endless ideas,

I like the bench, but you should use thicker wood and countersink the coping, as other have said happy
