its not exactly what i wanted cause the transition is a little steep but it gets me enough air time, just cant clear any big gaps with it. i'll be building another one in a few weeks.

when i get really comfertable jumping that ramp i can make it with a 40foot run up to it. only takes 3rd gear, then on the way up the ramp hold it wide open! my next ramp wont be so harsh so i'll be able to hit some 70 foot gaps. its just impossible with the ramp i have now, too steep :) these are the demensions i have for it...

8'5 high, 6'4 wide, and 22' long. my next ramp will be 9' high, 6'4 wide, and close to 28' long but with a smoother less steep transition so i can just huck it off the thing!

hey juggalo......if you wanna ride, im gonna be updated my mx track here in MN next spring.....right now its pretty small, the biggest jump is only like 55ft but we're getting a dozer to come out to build us some monsters.......... should have some big jumps to hit since crazy ***** guetter's gonna be riding with us again (everytime i ride with him i either get better or i get hurt)......im about an hour from where jon lives so if you do wanna come out whenever you're gonna sell that ramp, he knows how to get here

should be a good time next spring

we bent our rails by hand. it was hard to get everything right but we did. we'll be delivering our ramp out there in march sometime to some kid who lives pretty close to jon. we'll all have to get together and ride

to make the bend we made cuts half way threw the metal every 6 inches, then bent the pieces so that the gap was filled, tacked then welded it solid. pretty slick idea, works and looks awesome! :square

our ramp is all round tubing except the part that holds the ramp surface (the bent part) thats square tubing.
