nice, goin for a back flip haha. did you hit it yet.

sweet!!! now get some pics jumping off it..

thanks! but i wont be flippin off this ramp its just a little too mellow, once we get our landing setup, there will definatly be pictures posted of me nailin that thing

Oh yes. Can't wait to see some action pics!

That look nice! How are you going to keep it from moving when you hit it? Also, how did you get the transition so perfect? Good job!

looks good stevie-boy. it does look a little mellow on the top part, but I bet it'll launch you a mile.

SHteve drag that beast to the engelstad's show this summer... i'll be up there ready to lay it down like james brown...


Mike

Mellow Hit that thing in third and I bet you'll sore through the air When your done, I want to see some killer shots Steve. I have saved all the vids of you on this site and can't wait to see more

Rico

that thing is sick steve. cant wait to see some pics of u hittin it. good luck with it.

Hey guys, ive been in texas and not around a computer, but heres a few pics of me gettin a little practice off it, throws me really nice set at a 45 ft gap, but the landing was too small to get comfortable with to throw any big tricks on, thats why were getting a landing at my place here soon im even planning on setting it up to make a stepup jump with it, so i may have some nice shots of that as well!









and heres one from the texas monster jam, fun!-

friggin sweet. i didn't go to the monster jam deal, but it would've been fun i bet. i just can't handle sitting in lines and crowds like that. makes me wanna hit someone....

that's very cool. i started making a mobile ramp by welding my old ramp on to a trailer, then i ran out of money/ ambition. now, my ramp is stuck to a trailer how did it work for you? i was afraid that the trailer springs would make it bounce around, i was going to put ajustable jacks around the trailer to make it more stable. maybe i don't need to

hey whats up man.... me and my homies have started doing some freestyle... first on 110s and now we are started to build a freestlye quad track right here in so cal in a piece of land we bought... and i was wondering how much you can sell me a freestyle ramp...?? or if you know anyone that will build us one..... i was "shopping" around and most of them are around 2o00 you think you can help me out...??? please post message me....

super sick ramp man where are you out of

hesd out of GA

hey, I have a quick question for you... I went riding yesterday in a cinder pit and there was a large table top there. after I got confortable hitting it I started to try doing the heel clicker but for some reason no matter how hard I try to get it over the bars I just cant do it. Could you offer me some advice about this?? thank you very much

I have the exact same problem 808racer....as well as the fact that i find it extremely hard to bring my feet back down to the pegs after they have left them.

hmm I'm not too sure if I can help you there... I just practiced my no-footers alot and it got easier and easier each time. I'm working on a ramp for a school project... hondaracer305 do you think you could suggest anything to me that will help me and my friend witht his??

To get the heal clickers practice no footer alot to get used to leaving the pegs. then try throwing them more forward and soon you will be doing it. you can try practieing no footed cans the helps with you speed because you have to bring you feet back over the bars

i havent been on the boards too much lately, mostly because of travelling, but i try to drop by as much as possible

808racer, if your building a fullsize metal ramp, you may wanna purchase some detailed ramp plans off of fmxramps.com, but im sure you can find some free plans off www.freestylecomps.com

and if any of you are plannin on gettin into freestyle, to get your basic tricks down, you need to stretch ALOT, main thing. but you also need a ramp big enough, prolly around 30/40 feet so you get enough air to do the trick, and remember, (to go for the clicker) the higher you throw your legs up, the easier it is to get your feet to click around your arms, also, throw your butt far up on and above the gastank, hope this helps.

hey thanks, I almost got it down.

Mitco39, I think I know why you have a hard time getting back to the pegs. Do you have nerf bars? if not go ahead and buy some, they're great for safety and for this reason too!

yo i was wondering if you had the demensions for the ramp you have built and if so could you post.

hey steve i was wonderin if you could help me out with cutting my seat grab holes .??? got any close pics

fourfiftyare, my ramp is 8' 6'' to the very top, and it is right at about 22/23' long (not counting the box part). this ramp was built completely custom by me and i had a friend help weld it, i dunno how it turned out as good as it did with no ramp plans and me bein a highschool grad-tard, haha, but she sits PERFECTLY flat on level ground when unfolded, so im kinna happy but, that wasnt very smart to just go and build it with no plans, cuz you can waste alotta money in metal if you mess up the dimensions, but the most important thing to know is length, height, and a SMOOTH gradual curve, and the rest is pretty basic. it didnt turn out completely perfect, but for an outside project, no shop, im pretty happy.

EXer, what i did when i cut my grab holes, was, if you see the little plastic "dent" right under your butt when you sit down (on 06-07, its the vented part), just cut that out completely, all the way up under your seat, so you can just grab the seat only, instead of a plastic flap. the bigger the holes, the easier it is to just reach back and grab on without grabbin the edge of the plastic and messin you up. heres how i had my OLD plastic when i first started grabbing, note, i didnt have the plastic cut all the way out, you can still see the little plastic piece that seperates your hand from the seat, cut that part out if you decide to chop yours



and before too long, you'll be doin one of these numbers

and after you do grab the seat, you celebrate like this

do you have to do a seat grab to celebrate like that? If so i need start over and work on the seat grab

no no no my friend, but after you learn a new trick, you have to celebrate a little

hey thanks again steve .....i didnt realy wanna cut my seat foam anyhow so thanks alot thats the goal for this summer .......to damn cold to ride the ramp nowadays......

id also like to metion sick ass riden in the fallout 2

any new updates..???

Hey i was wondering how you got the curve of the ramp so smooth and even how you bend the two pieces to get that curve, i am looking to build a ramp and i know i can do the rest but i cant figure that part out Thanks

thanks man! so far, no new tricks lately, latest would prolly be the sidewinder, other than that, we have a show this weekend in tacoma washington in front of 50000 people, and we'll also be doin a film shoot up that way. been riding any lately?

can you help me out

take it to a machine shop and theyll bend the rails for you on a press... if its not full sized you can pry bend it yourself then clamp it and tack weild it untill its wat you want

good luck to ya!!! keep us informed

Ok thanks but what angle should it be bent at and how much extra should i get if i want the ramp to be 8 foot tall?

find a site to buy plans from you wont save much buy making it yourself plus all the grief of your mistakes

or buy a used one

i know i posted how to help you out, but i guess it didnt go through

do you know a site with plans? and i just need somthing to get started ive hit a lot of jumps so i dont want it to be too small. Thanks for the help

that would be www.fmxramps.com

Do these ramps work good for quads or are they ment for bikes? and i notice there are a few designs whats that best, sorry for asking so many questions

those plans work good for bikes and quads both. we use aussy ramps everywhere we go, only difference is an aussy ramp has a constant radius, rev ramps are flat the last few feet. i prefer aussy ramps, cuz thats what im used to now, maybe able to google the plans for that kinna ramp

Alright thanks alot
