But, don't let that stop you from building a "cool" wooden ramp capable of producing life-threatening leaps through the atmosphere, the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] are always looking for new candidates.
Faded, I totally agree with you, especaily for freestyle, a metal ramp is going to best for the job by all accounts (as long as you dont use solder at the joints ) I could sleep at night knowing my ramp was made of metal.


Sorry if i`ve come across the wrong way on this one

BTW, how long you been a candidate? J/K

I believe I posted some prints of a ramp a couple years ago. I had the chance to measure and draw a ramp used at a show once.

hi, i would like to build a metal or wooden ramp but if i make it 7ft. high and 19ft long and the tranny is pretty low on the ramp, the top angle is 37degrees and strait for 35inches
i got all that figured out...
my question is my landing ramp, how high...and what angle should it be??
right now i have a dirt ramp that is 4ft tall and 10 long.... with a 30ft gap...the landing is 6 1/2 ft tall and about 18 degress and 25 ft long...
I would like to have around a 40-45 ft gap
