RAMPS, Gates, Half pipes, Lets see what you built for BMX

Let's see some do-it-yourself skills when it comes to homemade BMX projects.  Post backyard ramps, pipes, gates, tracks,   etc... anything you built that enhances any aspect of BMX.


Purpose is to give ideas and building tips.



Here's a starting gate built for my kids and others in the neighborhood. Quick release spring for quick starts and balancing.

I'm thinking about doing a quarter pipe next.

Here's my little weekend project I put together, an 8 foot grind box:

Here's a video of me playing with it on day 1:  http://vimeo.com/25611157

Oh your bike doesn't have a scratch on it? 

Tell me again what the best parts are.

Re: RAMPS, Gates, Half pipes, Lets see what you built for BMX

Welds? It looks like Sea Gull Crap! lol Just a little welder Humor Bro, it looks great but a bit heavy I bet. The Idea of a few ramps has been hanging around in the back of my mind. My youngest boy is all for it!http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae103/jumpinjim/0427111824a.jpg

Re: RAMPS, Gates, Half pipes, Lets see what you built for BMX

I started building this in 1985 or 86 and it grew from a 1/4 pipe into this monster.  Best backyard investment I ever made.  If I didn't have a homeowner's association I'd be building one for the "kids" too. wink

There's a pretty cool story to go with this ramp here: http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=214441

No doubt, and stay away on hot days.  I remember riding metal at SK8 Underground - you could grill burgers around 1 PM in the summer! lol
