it's actually a wall for an old tore down mulch mill. The place was abbandoned so we took the tractor and loaded it onto the back of my dad's trailer and hauled it to my house lol.

My dad has his own construction buisness for a living so we own a bunch of tractors, trailers, loaders, trucks ect. It took about 20 minutes to load onto the trailer and took another 40 minutes to unload and get it placed on the quarterpipe nice and neat. We just yesterday moved the fiber glass sheet higher up the quarterpipe and we're going to build a box support behind it. Currently the fiber glass sheet is standing exactly 13 feet 3 inches from the ground. But it's slanded behind the quartpipe a bit because there's no support at the top, it's sorta just hanging there but it's thick as hell so it's still ridable for the time being. Right now it's sorta like hitting a roll-in like a quarterpipe because you can land much higher than begin to launch up, and since it's slanted it gives the roll-in feeling when you come back down. (but if you go up too far it'll spring you back and you'll have a huge freefall to the ground, I know from experience now.
)The original project is to create the quarterpipe into a massive vert wall out of spare materials and support beams, hopefully I'll have it finished in a few weeks to a month, maybe two if we're too busy.
Other than that I finally changed my siggy yay~.

*bump again* more shit woo~
In this picture we're making the vert wall more uhh... vertwallish, we added a box behind it so it would stop flopping on the other side.
Results:
Here's the back side view from the halfpipe, we're going to board the back of it off to reduce the sound, and to double as a sub wall from the back side.
I added this little ghetto ledge out of 2 long sheets of wood and some leftover blocks. The new box ramp is in the way for now but you get the picture. (I'll get to that part in a moment)
The new box ramp is complete, and it's a monster, the ammount of speed you need to clear it is rediculous, plus you gotta hit it at a angle for the moment since it's not directly in front of the vert wall.
I made the box detachable so you can move it around any way, you can move the kicker and the bank beside each other and put the box behind it and have a nice wedge setup too which is pretty spiffy.
And lastly, and unfortunately, the ghetto wall had to be taken down. I ran out of plywood and had to use it hahaha...
Here's whats left of the poor thing.
Rest in peaces Ghetto Walltap! You served me well...
I'll get some riding pictures of the new stuff soon.

316$ for the box and the addition to the QP extention.
I think I'm gonna have to ditch that plan til I move, since I have the halfpipe trapped in there's not enough room to add an addition for a spine. :\
