portable kicker

[Simo]

hey,
thinking of building a small, fairly light portable kicker. Im thinking about just under a meter long and about 25-30 cms wide. I could make it in hinged panels which fold up then have a supporting X frame at the high end and some way of securing it if needed.

These sizes are pure guestimates and the size is restricted due to my backpack.
What ya think? Easy enough to build, jut need some size suggestions.

with the help of josh i've so far got these dimensions:
900mm long
250-300mm high
250-300mm wide (depends if it'll fit in my bag)

using 17mm thick ply for the actualy kicker and 35mmX70mm pine
for the legs/supports

(thanks josh)

35x70 is gonna be pretty heavy for a portable kicker IMO.

[kalem]

35x70 PINE! HEAVY roflmao!!!!!!!!!!!! i can carry 5 4 meter long planks of it b4 it get akward to carry. not too heavy. pine is light

 

[S.]

Yeah, try riding around with it strapped to your back though... I can carry a fair bit of stuff as far as being able to lift it goes, but I couldn't ride around with it.

You could go smaller than 35x70 is what I was saying... there's no need to be building a house!

 

[oz-freerider]

it is when your hitting it !!!!!!
/me hides

 

[S.]

Ok! Well, as long as I'm not the one carrying it, overbuild for your life!

 

[Simo]

Just gotta figure out one more part.
