Ramp Generator is an online application that allows anyone to create their dream Ramp for either skateboard, inline or bmx. The Generator offers a friendly, wizard driven interface that anyone can use, but every parameter of the ramp is customizable so it is useful even for seasoned ramp builders. Play around with the measures (metric or US), drag and rotate the 3D model in real time and when you are done, you can opt to buy the building plans that comes complete with a cut list.
