The Equation, with another line to work toward
Bring Cody and Dave's Equation into your home sessions. The eight-foot-wide mini ramp starts with a three-and-a-half-foot transition, with an optional taller corner when you want a different line in the same setup. It comes as a kit, so you can build a signature ramp without starting from a stack of uncut lumber.
Keep the base, or add a taller corner
The standard Equation is three and a half feet tall. Choose the optional five-foot corner when you want a higher section to work into your runs without raising the whole ramp. That leaves a genuine choice: keep the base layout, or add variety at one corner. Our Ramp Shape guide helps you think through how height changes the skating.
Make room for the full run
Eight feet across and 22 feet eight inches from end to end give this ramp a different space requirement from a short garage mini. Mark out the body, then account for deck access and room to move around it. Our Space and Fit guide helps you plan the surrounding area before the ramp becomes part of everyday life.
Pick the surface beneath your wheels
One plywood riding layer is included. You can select a second plywood layer, GatorSkins in Brown or Green, or Skatelite Pro. Those choices let you decide between exposed plywood and a separate riding panel without changing the Equation's height layout. The Riding Surfaces guide explains what each material does and where a wood coating fits.
Build the ramp, not every part
Pre-cut and pre-drilled parts, counted hardware and photo instructions take the cutting and parts list out of your build. Bring a drill and allow an estimated four to six hours for assembly. If you would rather have help putting it together, OC Ramps installation services can discuss the location and project with you.
Keep caring for the wood around the surface
A separate riding panel does not cover every piece of wood in the ramp. Skate Paint is an optional coating for exposed plywood, not another riding layer and not a coating for GatorSkins or Skatelite. Keep the rest of the build in your care plan too. Our Ramp Care guide helps you prepare for checks and maintenance between sessions.

Questions about Cody and Dave Equation Mini Ramp - 8 Foot Wide
How does the Cody and Dave Equation Mini Ramp compare with the Garage Mini Ramp Kit?
The Equation model is fixed at eight feet wide, with a 3.5-foot base, a 22-foot-8-inch length, and one optional 5-foot corner. The Garage Mini stays 26 inches tall, is 15 feet 8 inches long at eight feet wide, and also comes in 12- and 16-foot widths. Choose the Equation for its taller signature layout; choose Garage when lower height or shorter finished length better fits the home space.
How does the Cody and Dave Equation Mini Ramp compare with the Turtle Half Pipe?
The Equation is eight feet wide, 22 feet 8 inches long, and starts 3.5 feet tall; its single 5-foot corner is optional. The Turtle is 12 feet wide at the same length and base height, includes one 5-foot corner, and offers Turtle-specific board guards. Choose between footprint, whether the raised corner is optional or included, and the visual package.
What can riders practice on the Cody and Dave Equation Mini Ramp - 8 Foot Wide?
Use the Cody and Dave Equation Mini Ramp - 8 Foot Wide for repeated transition runs and progression on skills such as kickturns, rock-to-fakies, axle stalls, and linking tricks from wall to wall. The exact progression should match the rider's ability, the selected transition, and the clear skating area around the ramp.
How much room should I plan around the Cody and Dave Equation Mini Ramp - 8 Foot Wide?
Start with the assembled dimensions for the selected width, height, corner, and surface configuration. Then leave a clear approach, roll-away, deck access, and enough working room for assembly and maintenance. Confirm the actual site before ordering; the listed product footprint alone is not the same as a complete skating-area plan.
Can I return the Cody and Dave Equation Mini Ramp - 8 Foot Wide if it is not the right fit?
Eligible unused products may be requested for return within 30 calendar days of purchase when they are in original condition and packaging with all included parts and manuals. Customized, used, skated, damaged, or incomplete products are not eligible, and freight, original shipping, processing costs, and a restocking fee may apply. Review the current OC Ramps Return Policy before ordering.
Can OC Ramps build a custom version of the Cody and Dave Equation Mini Ramp - 8 Foot Wide?
Yes. If the standard width, height, transition, or corner layout does not fit the site or intended riding, start with OC Ramps' Custom Builds page. Share the usable footprint, rider needs, desired transition, access, and location so the project can be evaluated as a custom build instead of forcing a standard kit into the wrong space.

What to Expect
We have two teams working around the clock to mass produce the beloved kits that are in high demand, after all we service ALL skaters worldwide! The fabrication time in our warehouse starts when you place the order as the information prints out directly to our team to start production. After the kit is created, the next process is actual transit time. We work with several carriers for a variety of our products to help cut down on transit times and delays.
Our Quarter Pipe kits (4ft wide Quarter Pipe & larger), Half Pipes, and sheets of GatorSkins or Skatelite Pro all ship on a double size pallet (4ft wide x 8ft long) via freight carrier. As the double sized pallet leaves our warehouse, the freight carrier will then begin the transit process to get your order over to your local delivery terminal. As your shipment arrives in your local area, the freight carrier will have an appointment setter call you directly to schedule an appointment for delivery. Just like when you book an appointment with the cable company, you will be given a 4 – 8-hour window of delivery.
The freight driver will then arrive at your residential delivery address on the day of your scheduled appointment. Please note that this will be a curbside delivery. The driver will not be able to pull into your driveway or any other requested area on your property. You will want to be sure to have 2 – 3 able-bodied adults, in total, at your place of residence during the delivery window to assist with the unloading of this pallet. Provided the size and weight of these shipments, a liftgate is not permitted and drivers are unable to assist with any of the hand unloading process. The pallet is easy to breakdown to execute a hand unloading process with yourself and a few additional helping hands.
The entire unloading process may seem daunting however it is a fairly simple process that can be executed within 10 – 20 minutes! Please keep in mind that delays may occur with the delivery. We understand that this can be frustrating. If you experience a missed appointment, please reach out to us and our team is happy to help.
If you notice any damages or issues with the order upon receiving, please proceed with accepting the shipment, but notate on the delivery receipt by stating “DAMAGE” when signing the delivery receipt. You do not need to itemize any material which was damaged when accepting the shipment. Once your shipment has been unloaded and signed, please email our team directly with the damage(s), proof of signed delivery receipt which has been notated as damaged along with full length pictures of the material which was damaged. We will work on resolving the issue immediately.

The internet has all sorts of terrible ideas as to how to quiet or dampen the sound of your skateboard ramp - in particular the mini ramps (or halfpipes).
You may read about wives tales on using insulation, filling the coping with whatever, or add pillows and blankets behind the ramp. We are here to clear the air….that is all nonsense.
There are really only 2 suggestions to help quiet your mini ramp.
- You can close up the back of your skateboard ramp with ¾” thick plywood. This will eliminate the hollow sound significantly. Again, don’t read into the bogus information about filling in that empty space before you close it up with plywood. It doesn’t work. Simply closing up the backend will help with the noise. Some customers will get creative with it- we’ve seen several put hinges on the backend - making a custom door for storage, etc. That is entirely optional to make use of the space. But in terms of noise levels, close it up.
- Also using a softer gel wheel is helpful to give you the incognito vibe your neighbors won’t complain about while shredding your skateboard ramp. Generally the harder the wheel, the louder they hear ya coming! Many skaters have multiple skateboards with a different set of wheels, most prefer the harder wheels during normal street skating use & then at night we switch over to the gel softer wheels so your neighbor’s can get their precious sleep & you can shred your heart out! Not every skater likes riding a gel wheel. There are many pros/cons. For this conversation, the biggest pro for having a softer wheel is the reduced noise factor. If you have neighbors that are goin to be a narc, just throw on the soft wheels!
