Time Trial: 4.0 Ramp

Postby samialj » Mon Jul 31, 2017 2:55 pm

Getting closer to the test day so thought I'd start timing myself. This took about 25 minutes. This is not how I would design the ramp but I wanted to practice switch backs in case NCARB throws something funky at me.

Ramps are 5' wide at 1:12
Landings are 5'X10' on switch backs and 5'X5' at the single landing
I kept the stair at 44" wide

Reading through Jenny's notes, she said "no ramp should be less than 4" tall"...Does anyone know if this is true? The NCARB passing example starts their ramp off with a 3" tall ramp.

Thanks for the review.

It's not the rise but the run that matters. I recommend no runs less than 3' long.

Missing rail on bottom run.

What's shown there is fine. Read the code again.
