Bamf.

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.

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.

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?
