the reason i was not in homegrown 2 cos i didnt wana be filmed yet cos i had just changed from a 100 to a 125 and managed to break my arm in the middle of swapping things and in that time i spun out and hated me riding and said leith to not bother filming me cos i was well shokking at riding ... but i mean if your not crashing your not improving. anyway bak to the ramp its 5 long by 2.5 high and ###en steap but we cut 300 mill off the top and now we will be welding it bak on. but all i can say is build your ramps big and steap cos it will make you do your triks easyer by making you more of a "pop" sk8ty term to work with

It looks a bit like our ramp, only ours is slightly smaller and real steep and is useless for real big gaps. I pushed it back to 22 metres but the suspension was bottoming big time when I hit it so I pushed it back in.

Hopefully we are gonna build another one that is bigger and not quite as steep.

jez u better spend your whole day at my joint taking photos seen as though i got all these ones for u! :D
Townies ramp is a little shorter than mine and a bit steeper but i still managed to jump it on an xr without the suspension bottoming when i hit it so its all good. gap was only 37ft though!
:p
