I haven't really seen a lot of good how to's for BMX ramps and boxes so I figured I would start doing some, the first two how too's I've done are for boxes a flat box and an angled box. I plan on doing some bike videos and more ramp how to's throughout this spring/summer. I've been building boxes and ramps for people in my area for a little bit now and figured I'd just share it.

I love it! >:D My most wanted desire was to build a grind box. I don't have shite to grind around in my area. Thinking about going pegless again for a few short months cause I've lost the ability to grind pegs.. Not to mention I run 4 so that'd be very, very embarrassing.

Ahahahaha Team Dilly.
Bummer I won't make it to Dilly Jam this year. I went 2 years ago with a wrecked knee so I could barely pedal around.

In real life, i'm a short Perverted Azn Man.
But in the internet, i'm a killing machine with 10 years MMA training experience.

I don't know an exact weight but two people can easily pick it up and move it and one person can fairly easily drag it around

Do they allow bikes? (Silly question cause of the photo BUT some places let employees in but no one else)

Yeah they do open ride is thursday nights at 6. Otherwise whenever im out there which is usually like 4-6 times a week. Never gets used besides open gym nights so when me amd a couple friends go we have it all to ourselves. You should definitely come check it out sometime its not a very big park but there is some fun stuff to do, we also have a big open place where we set the boxes up at

They cost a little bit, but if you tarp them or keep them in a garage they will literally last forever, with the weather paint it could take a beating without any protection but eventually it will get through the paint (unless you re paint it every 1-2 years) and the angle iron would start to rust if it got wet a lot
