Step1 Decide on the kind of plan you want. You can buy inexpensive plans to build a skateboard mini-ramp, or sketch out your own plans.

Step2 Plan the size of the skateboard mini-ramp to build. Most mini-ramps are 8 feet wide and a bit over 2 feet tall.

Step3 Find a large workspace for your plans and tools. == Step1 Place a piece of 3/4-inch plywood on a flat surface. Draw a straight line up the right-hand side, measuring to the highest point of the mini-ramp. This is usually about 24 to 28 inches.

Step2 Draw another straight line out to the left toward the center of your plywood board, measuring about 2 feet. This is the deck.

Step3 Sketch a straight line along the bottom of the skateboard mini-ramp, about 5 feet. This is the bottom of the mini-ramp.

Step4 Connect the top of the deck to the endpoint of the bottom using a curved line for the ramp. It is a good idea to use a half-circle drawing tool so the curve is true. == Step1 Cut along the lines using a skil-saw so the curves are smooth.

Step2 Repeat on a second piece of plywood for the other side.

Step3 Connect the two sides with 2-by-4's. Make sure they are at intervals frequent enough to support the mini-ramp.

Step4 Use a single sheet of 3/8-inch plywood for the actual mini-ramp section, bending it to fit over the curve.

Step5 Finish rough edges.
