Its $1500 plus shipping, collapses into a board bag, and is WAY out of my price range. It seems like a great product, but it doesn't make sense to me to pay that much. I want to build something similiar, that can collapse, probably not to the size of a board bag, but definitely not like a full out summer set up drop in. Its gonna be used mainly for a summer setup but also for some urban, so I want to be able to take it down/ set it up pretty easily. I drive an SUV, so it can go on top for taking it places.I live a small city, and have a backyard just barely big enough to put a 10 foot rail and a small drop-in in, but dont want to piss off the neighbors and my fam by making some huge structure that cant be taken down. If anyone has blueprints or plans for how to build a good one, advice, pics, experience, etc, I'd love to see it. Thanks!

tl;dr I wanna build a drop in thats collapsable[/b] and can be used to hit urban and summer setup.
 
I'm pretty sure you could just build that one. Make it out of wood/pvc where the railings are
 
Kinda reminds me of the one the Tabarnak pack uses. Would really love to have one like that that thing is dope.
 
Aight, so here's what I got so far:

Its gonna have an initial 7 foot long riding surface, with a 7 foot long ladder coming up, 2.5 or 3 feet wide, angle of steepness? If anyone has experience with building this stuff, what is the approx. angle you used? Attached to this (i dont know exactly by what method, i have a few ideas) is gonna be about 5 feet more of ramp. At the end of the day, its gonna be able to collapse to 7 feet in total length and 3 feet in width, small enough to fit in my car!
 
Def just build one. That's more for being on a film trip to hit urban with a bunch or guys crammed in a van kind of thing.

A drop in cost depends on what you want to put in but really isn't bad.

Also you could throw a nice railing on top and stain it to make it look pretty. Maybe even add some flower pots to dress it up.

IF you really need to be able to take it down you could build it in 2 pieces. The main frame sort of life guard style and then a ramp framed out of 2x4s. Could bolt some latches into the ramp so you could lift it up and set it in place and it won't fall down on you. Would still be kind of a pain in the balls unless you had friends to help whenever you wanted to shred.

IF you make it nice looking they probably won't care. flower pots, throw some lattice on the side or make the drop in a mini storage shred.

Idk, just some ideas.

Honestly I would build two different setups. 1 at your house and then something else if you really need it to set up a spot. If it's gonna fit in your car I'd make the surface as small as possible, maybe like 2 x 2. just have a ladder separate to help you up. Make a separate ramp but only frame the outline really and rock out pvc rungs. You'll be able to get the most speed for the least weight. If you make the ramp detachable you could def fit it in a car depending on space I guess.

I've had better luck just making use of things near a spot, dumpsters etc. How much urban are you actually going to be hitting? Unless you're going to be hitting a bunch I wouldn't really worry about it.

Also we're going into summer, at least the northern hemisphere. I'd worry about a standard drop in for your backyard now. Deal with the urban ramp if you really need it later on.

Could just buy a bungee as well. Safe yourself some stress
