coastin ramp how-to (english)
DESCRIPTION
Flybikes has always seen things a little differently, taken its own approach and thought outside the box, not only with the team they've built or product they produce, but also the content they've put out. One such piece of content was a video where the focus was of a team that that saw the simplicity in riding, hanging out together by finding an every day object to ride, in this instance a "pallet" and dragged it around the city to make "almost spots" into completely fun rideable spots. Ultimately, ending a day of amazing riding using the pallet itself as firewood to keep warm and cook food over. Those were fun times and amazing memories for the team... http://www.flybikes.com/microsite/coastin-rampTRANSCRIPT
1. draw the ramp on the floor
For the radius, drill a screw on one side of the “drawing stick” and draw the curve with the pencil.
Draw the side of the ramp on the floor as shown.
2. DRAW THE TRANSITION
3. cut the transition
Layout the transition planks on the ramp drawing and draw the pieces.Draw the curve using the “drawing stick” as in step 01.
Cut the pieces for the transition.
4. put the transition togetherScrew the transition pieces together.
5. build the other transitionsUse the first transition as a template to draw the other two.
6. put the ramp together
Place the transition structures on the floor as shown.Screw the first two planks as shown to achieve a perfect alignment
(The first and last planks will be screwed later)
7. refinementsYou will end up with a smaller space than the plank size. Measure the distance,
cut the plank to the size and screw in.
Cut this piece of wood
continuous step 7
Fill up the edge of the first and last planks to have a smooth ramp entry and screw in.
Put reinforcements on the bottom of the first and second plank at both ends of the ramp for reinforcement.
continuous step 7
Assemble the two planks of each leg first.
8. ASSEMBLE THE LEGS
