    This is my buddies he made out of scrap wood. I thought he was makin one out of metal but I guess not. Doesnt look like it will really get ya off the ground much but what the hell. Ill give er a shot this summer and see how it goes. Thats a 125 next to it to compare the ramp with.

    not bad for scrap .. I would think the transition might be something to used too tho ,it will definitely compression the suspension ..perhaps overlaying another peice from end to end / bottom to top ..would make it alot better


    heres a starting gate I made from "scrap " for kiddo to practice starts ..

    Would filling the center/transition with dirt make it any better?

    probably, but would it stay there? also be careful, that OSB is going to be slicker than snot when wet

    get a sheet of 1/2" ply wood and double layer it the whole length of the transition, then get some cheap paint, roll it on, and throw a few handfulls of sand on it before it dries. thats what i used to do on my miniramp (small half pipe) when i rode bmx.

    hope this helps

    hey it works!!!
    & it helped her get more comfortable & faster for starts,after spending a few evenings using it for practicing here & there ,she was even harder to beat out of the gate......the hoop /gate is from 1 of the tracks we raced at ..so it was free too !

    It's not rigged it's custom

    on a side note good idea.
    you should powder coat it.
