Brad McClain's Blue Tile, built into the transition
Brad McClain's Blue Tile Quarter Pipe brings its own visual character to a home transition with enough width to skate without turning a smaller space into a permanent construction zone. It is a choice for someone who wants the graphic and the transition to carry equal weight.
Use four feet of width with intention
The Blue Tile Quarter Pipe is 2 feet tall, 4 feet wide, 4 feet deep, and 68 pounds. That gives the transition more room than a very compact ramp while keeping its overall footprint manageable. Confirm the approach and roll-away before committing to the graphic, because the usable session starts outside the ramp itself.
Choose a transition with its own character
The Blue Tile design is specific to this Brad McClain product, not a finish that transfers to every quarter pipe. It lets the ramp read as a considered piece of the setup rather than a blank utility feature. Choose it when the artwork matters as much as having a two-foot transition close to home.
Use paint only for the exposed plywood
This ramp can be ordered without Skate Paint or with one quart for exposed plywood. Paint protects that wood without changing the Blue Tile artwork. GatorSkins and Skatelite Pro are not offered for this product, so the choice stays between the base plywood build and the one-quart paint option.
Build the Blue Tile in one focused session
Plan roughly 45 to 60 minutes with a drill. The included pre-cut parts and counted galvanized hardware allow the builder to follow the photo instructions rather than create a parts list from scratch. Keep the graphic panels protected while unpacking and complete the build on a level foundation.
Leave the tile ramp room to be ridden
This is a stand-alone quarter pipe, so its best companion is open approach space. Put it where a rider can return to the transition from more than one direction rather than surrounding it with obstacles immediately. That leaves future additions free to add variety without taking away the purpose of the Blue Tile.

Questions about Brad McClain Blue Tile Quarter Pipe
How does the Blue Tile Quarter Pipe compare with the 4 Foot Wide Quarter Pipe Ramp?
Both are four feet wide, but they solve different space and transition jobs. The Blue Tile is 2 feet tall, 4 feet deep, and 68 pounds, with Brad McClain artwork and an optional one-quart paint choice. The standard 4 Foot Wide ramp is 3 feet 2 inches tall, 6 feet 5 inches deep, 175 pounds, and has rear casters. Choose the geometry and mobility the site needs.
How does the Blue Tile Quarter Pipe compare with the American Flag Quarter Pipe?
Both ramps are 2 feet tall and 4 feet deep. The Blue Tile is 4 feet wide, weighs 68 pounds, takes about 45 to 60 minutes to assemble, and offers one quart of Skate Paint for exposed plywood. The American Flag model is 3 feet 2 inches wide, weighs 70 pounds, takes 30 to 45 minutes, and has no separate paint choice. Choose by width, finish control, and artwork.
Can the Brad McClain Blue Tile Quarter Pipe be used outdoors?
Yes. The Brad McClain Blue Tile Quarter Pipe uses materials intended for outdoor use. Build it on a level foundation, keep the approach and roll-away clear, and use the optional one quart of Skate Paint only on exposed plywood. Outdoor placement does not turn GatorSkins or Skatelite Pro into options for this model, and the Blue Tile artwork should remain uncovered.
Is the Blue Tile Quarter Pipe only for advanced skaters?
No. This model is not limited to advanced riders. Judge the two-foot transition by the intended rider and the four-foot-wide site, then leave a clear approach and roll-away. The Brad McClain design and Blue Tile identity remain the same either way.
Can I request the Blue Tile design on a different ramp size?
The Blue Tile treatment belongs to this Brad McClain quarter pipe. A different size should be evaluated as a separate product or custom-build request, not assumed to carry the same artwork. Start with the needed footprint, then ask what visual options are actually available.

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!
