Almost as soon as I began traveling and riding in events regularly in 2003, I started designing and building more ramps. However, I knew that it would be a good idea to have metal ramps (opposed to wooden ramps) to use in the events that I rode in, so I bought an AC arc welder, an angle grinder, and a metal chop saw and taught myself how to fabricate ramps out of steel. I built three ramps that spring and converted one of them into its own trailer to save weight as well as loading/unloading time at events (below).
