I was bored so i thought i would post this

Rev.1 is the ramp I will share some of the critical information on for free. This is not a beginner ramp but a Professional FMX Ramp jumped by several top level Professional FMX Riders. This is the first ramp I built and, with help from my son's, John and Robert Distler, we hit it good on our first attempt. IF this looks familuar, it should. This picture has been distributed all across the world and it excites me that most ramps being built, in the USA and abroad, are being based off of this picture. I have been getting so many emails from people all over the world thanking me for helping with their dream of building their own ramp that I knew I must get this ramp information back up ASAP. I posted this ramp first on FMX1.homepage.com back in 1999, then on HessianAggression.com until the end of 2001.
It is not easy to build a ramp. There are several things that will affect how your bike will launch from a ramp and it sickens me to see scrappy ramps used in FMX contests. So, if you are going to build a ramp yourself and are short on cash, work off of this page. This is a good ramp for a 50 to 65 foot gap. I think it was the best in the world, at it's inception, for this distance. I don't hit these things so I rely on top pro's opinions to base this off of. Not just the Hessian Aggression Riders , but several others too. Carey Hart pleaded with me to sell Rev.1 in Las Vegas when it was there for the US Open and not bring it back home but this was the only ramp we had at the time. Otherwise, it would now reside in Vegas. Yes, this ramp is that good.
This is the exact ramp used in the 2000 US Open of Supercross and jumped by Carey Hart, Manu Troux, Mike Jones, Robert Distler and Jeff Doetzer. The first rider to hit this ramp was Jeff Tilton in the spring of 2000. He was shocked at how good it worked and even stated it was the best ramp he had ever hit. Ramp technology has advanced very quickly in the past couple years and this ramp has been outdone by Rev.2 and Rev.3. Don't get me wrong, this ramp is still great and has been rented, by request, by riders and promoters several times in 2000 and 2001.
Any experienced welder or welding shop will be able to use the information here to build your first ramp. The measurements under the ramp at the top of this page are from the bottom of the Bottom Rail to the top of the Side Rail. Not that it matters, but this is including the top surface, either wood or expanded metal. Draw those measurements out on some cardboard and use it as your guide for your final ramp angle.
