1.0 out of 5 stars Too general, September 5, 2002

By	Helenium (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews

The booklet gives general principles of skateboard ramp design and construction but is VERY short on specifics. So unless you are either only interested in simple launch ramps, experienced at designing outdoor wooden structures, can find a completed ramp you can carefully measure and copy, or want to build the 6-foot vertical ramp which is the only transition plan illustrated in the book, don't bother with this. My son wants to build a 4-foot halfpipe. The critical aspect is the transition, and the book tells you how to draw a curve on wood, but not what the curve should be, except for the 6-foot vertical ramp. When you come to the section on half pipes all it tells you is that half pipes are similar to vertical ramps! I finally bought a set of plans from Whitefish Skate Ramp Co. on the Internet -- for $$ you get a detailed booklet of instructions for exactly the size ramp you want to build with step-by-step plans, materials lists and a full-size plan of the transition on blue print paper you can trace onto plywood. The proprietor will also answer questions on the phone. Our halfpipe is partially completed and going smoothly so far.

2.0 out of 5 stars STOP! Don't Get This Book!!, June 2, 2001

By A Customer

As I was looking through the pages of this book, it had absolutely nothing to do with ramp building. It taught you nothing, described nothing, and worse of all, it didn't even had detailed instructions. Please listen to me, and do not buy this ramp building book, it is a waste of money, and a waste of your time.
