I got bored so I started to build a shallow quarter. It's not much but for an hour of work it isn't bad. It's going to have a deck on it and I have another that is an exact replica of it (just not as wide) at a friends that we're going to slide up to the back of it and have a spine. Should be done by the end of the week.

Yes, I know the one bored is pretty crooked, thats because my friend sucks at holding things.

That looks pretty good/cool except for that one board... you just might want to fix that.

This kinda makes me miss my ramp. But when and if i build another one it's going to be a replica of the Lot 8 box from Woodward. Except 4 feet tall instead of 5.

It's only half-finished. I'm sure WTP knows what he is doing.

I cant believe how solid it actually is now that it's done.

Now I want to build a ramp... but it would probably just be easier to get a bunch of palettes and make a boxjump out of that.

I had one. But the lander died.

I plan on building another one, once i get money for more wood. I was going to find a picture of the Lot 8 box i'll be trying to copy but i can't find one and it's been a good 30 minutes looking.

did you measure anything?

also id brace the middle... you've got 8 feet of surface with nothing in the center, it will implode.

Measured damn near everything, and the middle is braced to to hell and back.

Didn't say everything, in the end we still eyeballed some stuff. It rides just fine and I have no fear of it breaking, plus building it was just as fun as riding it so who gives a damn?

This is true. I'm trying to get a bunch to take to our trails so i can make a small fort/treehouse thing.


Except it wont be a treehouse, cause there are no trees.
