Not all quarter pipes are created equally, which is why the crew at Keen Ramps is here to take us on a deep dive into how to cut the most perfect transition radius for a quarter pipe or mini ramp. Been wanting to build a ramp of your own? Listen up, get out your notepad and get some proper advice from the pros:

I'm no ramp builder but I can appreciate what the crew at Keen Ramps does when it comes to educating folks on how to build proper quarter pipes, mini ramps, ledges and anything else they can think up (which they often do). Point is—anyone can do it! As long as you have the right tools, space and resources. 

Keen's owner, Cory Keen is an absolute ace when it comes to building skate obstacles and because of that knowledge, he's really made something cool with Keen Ramps

Growing up skating empty parking lots and schoolyards was always fun. I wouldn't ever change any of those moments! But that doesn't mean I didn't have my fair share of janky ramps and boxes in my front yard (total eyesores for my parents) to rip all the same. If only these videos (or, I guess even YouTube in general) existed back then! 

We've come a long way from those little ramp plan pamphlets, right? I'm here for it. And surprisingly, seeing these dudes build it does look surprisingly possible. What are you waiting for? Get some wood, screws, saws and get building! The DIY spirit is alive and well.
