Vickery Backyard Ramp

Chris on Deck, Kurtis (my brother) in center

Last fall Chris Vickery and myself went out to a guys house to check out his mini-ramp in his backyard. He had offered it to Chris to take for his own backyard. The next time I met up with Chris he had the ramp moved in already. He cut it into 4 sections (I believe) and had each part moved separately to his house on the back of a trailer. He has been traveling a lot and finally started to have a chance to work on it a little bit. Chris, Kurtis and myself, did a little bit of construction to it. We got the copping in place, on one side of the ramp, with the plywood screwed down. The deck on the ramp is a quarter unfinished on the left side. The right side of the ramp is actually to high and needs to be cut down, it doesn't have a deck, or any copping on it. Chris said that his moto for building ramps is to test it out as soon as possible. So we got the one side almost done, the other side we quickly screwed in the sheets temporally with no framing behind the top 10 inches of the ramp, and the tested it out. Hopefully the next time we get out there it will either be finished, or we will help him to get it closer to being finished.
