Peter and Mike's version of the "R.P.D.O. mini II"

Peter Ball: I just finished building the RPDO mini II. I scaled it down a bit (because of limited material) but its basically the same. we built the exact same transition and everything, but its only 8 feet wide.

here's the material we used:

  • 3 4x8 sheets of 3/4" plywood (for transitions)
  • 5 4x8 sheets of 5/16" chipboard (masonite) (1st layer) [RPDO: not sure why they used masonite? or chipboard? for the first layer, but that's what they wrote]
  • 5 4x8 sheets of 1/2" plywood (top layer)
  • 40 pieces of 8' long 2x4
  • 5 lbs of 1 5/8" drywall screws
  • 2 8' pieces of pipe about 1-1/2" diameter (coping)
  • 11 railway ties

we built it in about 5 days and its fun as hell to ride...thanks doing such an awesome site. Here are some pics!!
