"My brother and I always wanted to build a miniramp, so we decided to save up some money and convince our parents to let us build it on our driveway in the front yard area. We had prior experience in building ramps so all we needed was to draw up the design and make a few models (pictured below (euro)).
The miniramp is 24 feet long by 12 feet wide. 3 foot 8 inch tall transitions with a 4 foot cantilevered deck on the one side and 2 foot deck on the other. We built the miniramp in the summer of '05, and replace the tempered masonite at least once every year.
This past summer we decided to add on to the miniramp and built a 7 foot high quarterpipe with a euro gap going up to the miniramp. The euro gap to the miniramp is 3 feet long by 3 feet wide, and the total lenght of the ramp is 30 feet long running perpendicular to the miniramp. It is 6 feet wide by 8 inches off of the ground. The quarterpipe is 8 feet high total from the ground. There is a tight 2 foot deck to drop in from, so we had to build a railing because of how sketchy it is up there. My brother and I designed and built everything from the miniramp to the entire euro/quarterpipe combo. It took us about 2 weeks to build the miniramp and 1 week to build the euro/quarterpipe combo.
If anybody is interested on shredding our ramps, we live just outside of Saltsburg, PA. My email address is zxxp@iup.edu. We are going to change the wood this spring so the ramps will be in great shape again for summer.You can contact myself (Keith Korchok) or my brother (Kevin Korchok) at byxp@iup.edu
Here are a couple pictures and videos from our ramps." - Keith Korchok
These guys do some really good film work so the videos are definitely work watching and also check out the snowboard videos these twins put out - there is some INSANE footage including a double backflip at 4:17 in Part 2 of their video (below)
Check out their snowboarding in "Lost in Loyalhanna"
