So now I have some nice new ledge opportunities, some of them are quite high and I would love to use a kicker to get up to some of them
I have this pallet sitting around thats quite heavy and i think it would be a solid base for a kicker. it sjust a mini one its about 3x3 feet fairly square. I can get a sheet of plywood pretty easily. should i just start from scratch or can i make this into something half decent?
the skid :

You may be able to pull it apart and use the slats as bracing but in my experience pallets usually suck for structural stuff. Id say start from scratch
Get a sheet of wood, trace out the transitions to your desired height/length, use 2x4s to connect them, put a sheet of wood accross get a piece of metal for the bottom.

i think i am just going to leave the skid at one of my spots for a ghetto kicked. i found some shit to prop it up against + a sign for rollin transition so thats what this skid will be now
sorry buddy complete newb here - i am not able to go into the home depot still because we are still on lock down
are you able to recommend the type of plywood i should buy? I think MDF is NOT what i want
would this work? https://www.homedepot.ca/product/revolutionply-4-ft-x-8-ft-x5-2mm-plywood/1000811055
this looks pretty big but maybe could use it for some other projects too
would this work?

5/8" or 3/4" sheet of plywood not particle or mdf board but get something layered. A2x4 for bracing and a 1/2" top sheet of plywood should work. Some 2.5" screws and a peice of a sign or 1/16" sheet metal for the threshold. There are several kicker instructions google. I build all my ramps quarter pipes and boxes and its alot cheaper. Just started to weld so would love to find a pipe bender to make some rails like bluntsteel rails.

I would use the Keen ramp design and size. I'm about to make one for a friend that is having trouble popping out of transition 'cause he grew up jumping down stuff not over

I have made more than I handful of ramps totally out of found materials including a halfpipe made from pallets and crates
if I only had one saw it would be a circ. Cutting transition with a circular saw is tough but it can be done
My guess is that the transition on the kneen ramp is 8 foot maybe 7 or 6 maybe 10. Don't know till I draw it

Snowboarders build kickers - skaters build jumpramps.
