hey yo
Backyard jump
What size should this backyard jump be? The ground is level. I only have enough room to get it into 2nd or maybe 3rd gear. I want to make it out of wood. I want to get enough air to be able to jump over tomato plants in a small garden.
How steep should it be, and how long should the ramp be?

how long is the garden? Also do u stake the tomatoes? Then it will be easier to decide

oh i got alot of ideas on this, you definetaly want it to not be too steep and have a tiny tiny arch to it. make it real long and 5ft tall i dont know if 10 feet long would be good? hit that in second or third and you could go big , well kinda big,, i am debating making ine over a bike jump this weekend
GET NAUSTY
if you make it to steep it is a lot harder to preload the suspension and catch a lot of hight and distance and having that steep of jump just slows down your foward momentem and makes it harder to preload at the right time and if you are bored take the time to make a nice lip or part where it gets steeper at the very top because if you make a jump perfect you can catch a ton of air at hardly any speed. Me and my friends about every summer we live in the dirt with our shovels making jumps for our bikes or quads or anything so we know what works and what doesn't. Also when you make jumps use a garden hose or something before you start to jump to spray it on the jump a few times and after it drys a few times the top surface gets really hard and the rain doesn't tear it up as easily or the quads.
