I'm going to be building a steel jump over my spring break here in a couple weeks and just have a few questions. It is probably going to be about 8ft tall, 6ft wide, and about 20ft long. First, what angle would you recommend, I was thinking about 39 degrees but am not 100% sure. Will probably have it set at about 40 feet for a while until we get used to it. Second, I want to try and do this as cheap as possible, so am wondering where I could put some smaller tubing. I am planning on making the outer frame and supports out of 2x2 .120 wall. Should I make the tranny out of the same thing? For the braces across the tranny I was wondering if 1x1 tubing would be think enough? Any help and pointers would really be appreciated!

hi!
i have built 7 ramps for quads over the past years.
the ramp i like most has at 40 degrees takeoff.
if the ramp is steaper the higher landing will you neer.

with 40 degrees ramps the landing should be about 3.5 meters high (check out events on my websit) www.jesperrosling.com
