This weekend we finally built our halfpipe! We bought our supplies at Lowe's Saturday morning and had it almost complete by Sunday afternoon. We had the radio on in the back yard so we could listen to conference. All the materials cost less than $250 and I think it turned out really good. We got the plans for a skateboard mini ramp on the internet and followed them almost exactly. We did move it closer to the deck by making the platform on that side only one foot instead of 2 feet so we will be able to drop off the deck and onto the pipe when the railing is modified. The platform on the other side will be larger at 3 feet so we'll be able to ride on top easier. The plans said you can use skatelite for the top layer and it would last longer, but for around $9 a sheet we can replace the masonite really easy if it wears out. We still need to make the platforms and then paint the whole thing with a spar urethane. We still need to cover it with a tarp if it looks like rain though. Here are a few sweet pictures and a video!

That looks like alot of fun!! Your Boys are so grown up.I know Brandon can't wait till his boys are older and can make that fun stuff.I told your brother that you guys need to come to Saint George and go dirt bikeing there are so many fun places and the weather is warm!!!!
I know, we really do! I think I have in my mind that St. George is further away than it really is. When does it get too hot? Is May still a good time to do things down there?
Like I said on your blog..we are going to Caineville the 28th of April through the 3rd of May for our annual spring fling. You guys are more than welcome to join us!
By the way..thanks again for letting Daniel leave his car there:)
I really appreciate it Brandon! Thanks a lot! It was really nice of you and it was nice to see you today and I agree with Brandon Tony, you need to go down there, there are really awesome trails to ride on in the Hurricane/St. George area. It gets really hot starting in May I heard, I think anytime in April is your last chance before the summer unless you want ride in the mornings or late in the night.
cool glazsses tony...you look 45 not 35
How is St. George in January and February? I'm thinking a trip to sand hollow in Jan or Feb next year might be cool.
..unless ya'll know of better places to go down there?
I think St. George is great in the winter but maybe a little bit of a nip in the air, mostly high around 50 degrees. I never ridden down there in the winter though but my friends do it all the time.
The information here is great. I will invite my friends here.
Thanks
