I know there are lots of threads about jumps and kickers, but I am trying to build a tabletop, I have a few questions. it's nothing crazy, maybe 5-6" tall so far. I can't decide how long to make it, should it be a jump onto it and a jump off or jump completely over it?? also what about the take off and landing, should they be pretty steep or a gradual incline? thanks a lot.

Well it all depends on what u want a table top to shoot u heigh or for distance that will help u decide the lip incline. mlength do what ever u feel comfortable u can always add on. heres ours with em jumpin it. best pic of lip i have http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/250ex3/100_2403.jpg kinda shows lenght ares is 50 feet me comin back from tilt also in pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/250ex3/100_2416.jpg kinda shows ya how high it sends ya http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/250ex3/100_2417.jpg

well I got the tabletop finished, for now. the take off was no problem, the landing needed some work, it was too short and steep but I made it long and gradual. from take off (lip at top of ramp) to the end of the landing it's 25'

I hit it in 2nd gear 3/4 throttle and I just clear the landing, so I'm gonna make the landing longer I think.

overall I think I did a good job builing my first tabletop!!

thanks for the help guys!!
