I made friends with Preston in math class, and he offered up his dad's shop to give me a space to build a professional FMX ramp. After multiple trips to the hardware store, rummaging through a few lumber dumpsters, and a half-dozen evenings of punk rock and screw guns, we had completed one of, if not the first FMX ramps built entirely out of wood.

Here is an early version of the plans I designed. I went through multiple revisions, but here is one of the originals.

A few months into the 2003 tour I realized that I needed a metal ramp. Owning a metal ramp would lead to more work; event promoters often needed riders that owned their own portable ramps and could bring them to the events with them for a little extra money. Below is a pic of two metal ramps I had built after giving one a new paint job.
