So here is how-to: build a ramp, This is the same ramp that me and tom cardy used in the last upload called ''THE KICKER RAMP'' it was cool to see so many of you guys asking how to build the ramp so here it is!
You'll need:
Screwdriver
screws
1 sheet of 18mm OSB
1 sheet of 12mm ply
12 2x4'' timber 1183mm
Ramp dimensions:
3ft tall
6ft 3inches long
8ft radius
ENJOY!
I've watched like 10 ramp building vids and this is the first one that explains everything really well. Thank you!
TtopMusic no worries!
Yes I did as well, thank you soooooo much sam
best mountain biker out there!
During lockdown I have decided I want to build something. So why not come to Sam pilgrim and watch how to build a ramp! Thanks Sam :)
That bit with the rope to get the radius was bloody brilliant mate.
Shadow Walker haha thanks
This is the best ramp-building tutorial I have seen on here! Thank you so much Sam, I will be making one in the near future. Your content is litttt!
Yoooo thanks!
Definitely gonna do ittt 👍🏼
Yes boss, get it done!!
Incredible video, thank you very much for sharing, I do not have anything you say but I follow you some time ago and now I know how to make a ramp for my bike! Thank you very much, keep it up! Blessings, Argentina!
You Explained it so well I am going to build one my self and with my dad thanks Sam you are great👍🤘🏻🤟🏻
Thanks a lot, this will be helpful. I was thinking about building a ramp for some time now. You kinda readed my mind, haha. Cheers from the Czech republic.
You deserve way more subs. Your video quality is amazing. Honestly
360 Bikes thanks man!
No problem
Great vid Sam, no wonder you were boosting so well off it, 8ft radius on a 3ft ramp is some kick 😎 Keep up the good work 😀
Yeah i though it would be to much but worked well! :)
Sam Pilgrim You and Tom made it look easy 👍
I’m 16 and I always new this vid would come in handy, building it with my best mate so we can shred jump bikes and bmx on it 🤙🏻
Great video Sam. I'll be making one of these soon!!
Excellent. Simplicity teaches best!
you are the best. I am soo motivated from your videos
Hey Sam, epic vid as always!
Super helpfull, i will build my ramp in a few days!
Can u do a bike check for your Slopestyle bike?
I would build up my own Slopestyle bike but i don't now what parts i should choose.
That would be SUPER NICE too! ; )
Thanks dude!!! ruclips.net/video/SJ4bBEB2cLo/видео.html
Thanks mate!,
and your frame is a NS Bikes Majesty? Or not?
No its the NS decade!
Ok thanks!
Sam Pilgrim what is the prix
Thanks a lot sam ! Do you advise me to change something to do it with my downhill bike ?
Yeah you should change the radius, Try 9ft radius instead so its a little flatter!
Sam Pilgrim thanks
Your vids are the best out there I love them
hell yeah!! awesome tutorial sam, makes me wanna build a ramp for the back garden, thanks man
Do it!!
Cheers Sam your method is sooooo much simpler will defo give it a go 👍😁
Super cool ramp.
I'm going to build one by my self 😅
Your sick man you got me into biking
Awesome!
Sick
Watching your channel made me want to try dirt jumping (including the digging and building) :)
Belting ramp Mr Pilgrim!
I'm amazed 12mm ply bends so much.
Stu Houchin with my heaviness on there it was easy haha
Awesome video (as always) and nice wood working project! I build a similar one a couple days ago!
Your the best Sam pilgram
Pilgrim
Great ramp and video sam!!
I'm going to do this now. Always inspiring me to ride!
Yeah man do it, its well fun!
just subbed in the last few weeks awesome content! keep up the good work thanks for the ramp build looked it up a while back and never did it due to the complicated radius stuff but for sure will this summer cheers!
black danzi thanks man. Yeah radius stuff is hard but mostly it's down to your eyes. But seems like if he radius is 2foot more than the length then it's good!
Sam Pilgrim thanks dude super helpful at first thought the ramp looked way too slim but I was wrong and or turned out sweet will do the +2 foot thing for sure
Super!!! That what I need to do on this weekends, build a ramp!
Yeah man do it!!
Your vids are great
Glad to hear that!
Great vid! I’m building my ramp today. 👍
Thanks Sam, great video again
Awesome one!!! :D
I´ve already built some ramps too but none of them was that tidy and big!!!🤔👌🏼🤘🏽
This is small ;)
Does that mean you are planning bigger ones? =P
I have big ones at my field!
next lesson : how to build a surf board with the leftover piece of plywood
ive not long subscribed and love your videos.
Awesome thanks!
really helpful this on dose the same construction apply when building dirt jumps (take off and landings) 👊👊
No obviously dirt is completely different mate, So its a way different thing altogether
Sam Pilgrim true, you think you'd be able to do a how build a dirt jump vid??
Really helpful man. Thanks!
Awesome glad you think so!
brilliant videos sam
dude that's an epic ramp! do you think you could make one with as much kick but way more portable?
Good detailed instruction. Thanks
sick ramp man I'm definitely going to try this
Rad!!
Thanks for making these kinds of videos !
It's really nice to see the pro's behind the scenes and i really enjoy your way making these :-)
BTW: Do you see a chance to make a recut contest in the future ? I remember that they did this for "Life Cycles".
Whats that? Where people edit my stuff?
Sam Pilgrim yeah ! they had tons of unused clips and opened a competition for the best 2min edit !
Thnx for the upload.. gonna build my first ramp soon :D
So If u wanted something exactly the same height amd length but not as steep the radius would be longer than 8 correct? And steeper than this would be less than 8?
this was great! any advice to build dirt jumps?
I would recommend drilling pilot holes into the wood before screwing so the end grain doesn't split during use👍
DJ Linksed ok! These screws apparently are made not to do that, and piloting takes longer ;)
that really did help Sam thanks
Glad i could help mate!
Hey Sam nice video. I built a 4 ft tall ramp with an 11 ft radius and it's currently sitting in my garage during these winter months. It's all finished except for the plywood being attached, I was able to attatch the 12 mm play wood just to the top but it would not bend enough to screw it in. What kind of plywood did you use and how did you bend it?
Luke Nichols bend it harder then :)
Great work Sam :)
Hey Sam,
Can you make a video where you show us your mercedes sprinter ??
would be great to see what you have done inside.
I'm selling it now, so look out for it on eBay ;)
Sam Pilgrim why would you sell it?
sweet video, if you put the 2x4 the other way around (short side supporting the plywood) the ramp will be stiffer.
Doesn't make a difference and you need double the amount of wood.
well, the moment of inertia of the 2x4 is 4 times bigger the way I propose (it will bend 1/4 of what it bends now), but being thinner you might need to put them closer so you might be right. Time to ditch the books and start experimenting!
Yet again another epic video!! How much does it cost ??
About £60
Would you use a the same radius for a taller/larger ramp?
Gruff Rowlands no because it would become vertical. How big you going?
Thinking about 6 or 7ft tall... Loving your vids btw, keep it up!
Gruff Rowlands try a radius two foot longer than the length of the ramp and draw it on and see if it's good. If it's to steep add a foot
Cheers!
If i am going to be learning 360 of this into a grass landing should i change anything
Idk if ur gonna see this or some one but is 8ft a good radius for mtb bikes? To be exact full suspension 27.5
#Sam_Pilgrim
Thnx For the Video This was Of a Great Help for Us Folks in India
Sam i am from spain and you introduced me on the slopstile 😝
Awesome, good to hear it!
I'm trying to learn a backflip would this be steep enough also What dremel did you use to cut plywood?
Is putting a grip tape or wire on the ramp bad idea? When wood gets wet it becomes super slippy. Would it effect on normal "dry" riding?
No it works fine, i just try not to use it in the wet so i don't need the extra things!
Sam, What's the brand/name of the little black kicker ramp in your other vid? Would love a good one to take around the city with me. Thanks for the great vids! You guys got a place to stay if you ever hit the Midwest US!
kraisy dave it's a rampage ramp i think
Sam Pilgrim Thanks! Ride on!
That's cool! Thanks for that video. PS: I'd like to see more Trial-Videos :P
Yeah they are coming!
nice vid i would like to ask how many feet (radius) for a 3 ft high ramp and 4ft long? thats the size of a ramp i can fit my van. i may have to watch you often for style (rotorua2017) thanks man.
Nice plates on your car. What radius should I build for dirt ramp?
Alex Malibu 15ft
Thanks man.
How much does it cost to make? great video
Definitely building a couple of these
As a mountain biker, this is gonna be helpful
muy buen video!! gracias sam!!
Ideal radius for learning to backflip??
Can you show us what radius works for a small kicker that you can carry around town for making street spots epic? I'm thinking like 1.5ft tall or something
Finan 7 a 4 foot radius should work quite well. check out pinkbike's building forum, there's hundreds of treads about this there. Hope this helps :)
own up. you only own plant pots to assist you in creating sick projects!
What program do you use to edit your videos? I would also recommend putting this, along with your shooting gear in the description of each video, as I'm sure you get asked this loads!
I use final cut 10, And for this video i shot it on GoPro hero 5 black!
Thanks so much man! I'm just looking for a good editing software to make some MTB edits and such.
Just Build it few days ago and Hit it First Time today, almost Shit my pants But this ramp is awesome- thanks for the Great Video;) greetings from Germany :)
How much did it all come up to ?
Prob. Not much it was cheap wood
Sam, nice one 👍I made one a few years back similar to yours. Yours was an easier build wish I'd done that. Do you find that when you are hitting the ramp at speed that the cross members hold in place just being held by the screws?
Yeah man its fine, the sis how i build my huge ramps too!
Cool I'm pretty sure you hammer yours way bigger than I hammered mine!! I'm 15 1/2 stone so a bit more momentum 😳 but happy to build your style. Cheers
ps what happened to the window on the rv?
Dad is doing some work on there and if that wasn't there the water would get in!
Ahhh yeh that would be a bit pants getting wet pants every time you drive. 😏 Cheers dude 👍
Thanks for that sam much appreciated bro 👍👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊
What street bike would you recommend for beginners?
www.nsbikes.com Any of them!
How thick was the plywood on top??
Think I might try and make one soon hope I don't fail
Hey Sam, any particular reason why you chose an 8 foot radius??
Because its works perfectly. I tried 6 foot first and it was to tight and then 8 foot became the best option for me. You can use whatever radius you want.
great, thx brother !! thought there was some sort of math involved lol :D would you say the radius should always be longer than the ramp itself? i dont want to be shot into the moon !!!
would a 10ft radius be right for a 8ftLx6ftH kicker?
mt bmx sounds right. But you will be able to tell after you draw the line. Maybe draw 10ft and 11ft and see the difference
Do you think it could work with nails instead of screws?
Diego Brockmann it would work for a very short time, the stress of moving and hitting it would slowly open the nails apart - screws are better because they threaded in! Revolution in woodwork they were! ;)
Yeah what ramsay said!
nice build dude, just one thing why do you have plastic sheeting on your windows of the motorhome
Joe Westcott my dad is doing some work on the windows and we don't want rain inside!
Hi Sam. How can i choose ideal radius? :) For exzample whats good for Dirt jumps? Btw nice vid ;)
What size ramp do you want to make?
Maybe 2 meters tall? Samething like that. For average dirt jump :)
Would you need to change the bottom bit for a scooter to go up it
Maybe add a bit of sheet metal at the bottom
can you tell me the measures for a smaller ramp???Thank you a lot.I want to do a mini double( 2 or 3 metres and not larger than this,I think the half ).Ah and Aldo taller
Just go half on all those measurements that should work!
thank you a lot
how did you do the whole text with image in it at the beginning? PS don't forget to remove audio in timelapses you forgot for that first one ahah
Just an option on final cut! And yeah sorry about that haha!
Sam Pilgrim no problem about the audio don't worry ahah I forgot this morning while editing an edit that's why I noticed hah great video
should ride and a film at southsea skatepark sam
awesome SAM Im building it!!!
What if the ramp tips at the top cuz it looked like it was about to tip when you were on your skate board
Nice
From
Baghdad
Iraq
cool vid bro I might make one
You gotta!!
nice ramp!!
Is this in lux?
ohhh that coach looks like a nice place to stay. .
Sick video
Possibly make a vid of building a landing?
Well its easy, just pile dirt up
Yea, meant like a wooden one though, like in a skatepark?
Awesome👍👍👍👍👍
I'm building a bike I want the NS Majesty Park frame but I can't find any for sale please help!
Chain reaction?
Sam Pilgrim Don't have any on their website and same with Ns proof bars! 😡
Have you checked Pinkbike?
ARGreen93 just been looking though and couldn't find any bars or frame. I can't even find the decade frame, I think they have stop making them 😂
Just email NS on their Facebook
How would I make this but 4 1/2 feet tall?
