launch ramp plans????

[ridered03]

ok, i have 115 foot of 1" square steel tubing for a launch ramp i also have a welder on hand to weld it. i know how to go about building it kinda! from looking at pics. does any one know where i can get some kind of plans for one or if some one has built one before i need help with this!!! i was kinda lookin at 6' tall by 5 or 5 and a half foot wide.

www.fmxramps.com and you need to make it wider than 5 ft more like 7.

If you build the rev 1 from fmxramps.com then you will need more metal. Here are the MINIMUM requirements the site says you need:
180'- 2" x 2" x .120 wall (1/8" thick)
120' -1" x 1" x .120 wall (1/8" thick)
Your choice of paint color for frame
Gray paint for wood
Sillica to mix into gray paint
3 sheets of 4' x 8' x 3/4" thick plywood

your gonna need more steel tubing than that if your gonna build a ramp that big. you could probably build like a 4 foot high by 5 foot wide and maybe 10 feet long if your lucky with that much but you might be pushin it even then. ramps take a ton of metal unfortunatley. start drawing on paper and plan everything out and see how big of a ramp you can make and don't forget supports!

Whats a good width for quad fmx? is the 1x1 square tubing gonna be too small, i noticed alot of people used 2x2 AFTER i bought the steel.

you can use it. your probably going to have to brace it more thats all

[ridered03]

ok well would i need to make it like 6 foot wide or should i go seven???

[MILF_HUNTER]

my ramp is six feet wide and thats plenty. anymore and its just for comfort. dont go less than 6!! lots of people are pushing towards 8ft ramps but i know from experience that 6 feet is enough. its what ever you got the money for.
