Slider: please help.

Slider, I built my first ramp about 4 months ago, and its only 2 metres tall. I feel its way to small, i want to build a ramp that it atleast 2.7 metres tall and i was wondering what length you would recomend for the base of a ramp that high.

[slider]

Make it easy for yourself and build Rev.1. I had my Rev.2 out this weekend and there were a total of 4 ramps built by 4 different builders at this gig. Riders hit Rev.2 more than any other ramp, it was the ramp of choice. I had both Rev.3's out on rentals so I couldn't have one there. Rev.2 is almost the same as Rev.1 so just build Rev.1 and set the gap close at first and back it up as you get more used to it.

Thanks slider:
Could you tell me how high and long rev.2 is or will i have to buy the plans for it to find out. I am thinking off buying a set of your plans anyway, cause i heard theyv got more than just plans such as helpfull tips and so on. How much are a set of plans. And what plans should i buy. I have one ramp that is only 2 metres tall, and another one which madstick owns and it is 2.3 metres tall. What should the next step up be because i got sick off my ramps size after 2 weeks of jumpin it.

Go 8' tall and 22 feet long. 23 feet long is cool. Just add whatever length you want to the bottom. This way you have more time on the ramp to set up and also feel the traction.

Use Rev.1 drawing and have at it. You won't regreat it at all. Just start out really close to the landing as it will launch you higher and further than you ever thought. I have seen riders mistakenly clear 60' in first gear on a stock gearing 250. Jump in 2nd, not 3rd if you are on a 250. Maybe up one if on a 125?

well lately iv been riding a 2000 yz 125 ans i use 3 rd gear from 50 foot up to about 75 and a little over, i havnt tried using 4th yet.

[crustyfmx250]

3rd gear is what i was using on my ramp when i overjumped. (it was a rev1...kinda :D)

It didnt even feel like i was going too fast, i was hardly hitting the meaty part of the powerband and i overjumped it :( It launched my sooo high

[shaolin]

im gonna be in 3rd on my 80 for when its real close but then i will be in 4th the rest, what do u guys think?

[crustyfmx250]

I dont know, ive never ridden an 80 :D

[savage destruct]

Doing fmx on an 80! Man i respect that! That is awsome! I do fmx on my 1993 cr 250 So what tricks can you pull on that 80?
I just think its cool that you don't let anything show you down like on t.v. you see all these guys on 250's sometimes 125's but never 80's! That is why i have respect for that! Just had to say that!

[slider]

I know what you mean. Check this out. 7 freakin years old and pulling a sick no footer.

[savage destruct]

I know dude isn't that awsome! I think it is so cool to see all these brave kids nailing all these jumps! Doing sick tricks! Think what it'll be like in say...4 yrs for them they will definatley be winning the competition!:) Well thats just my view on it! Apparently the same goes with slider!

[WaussInd]

[savage destruct]

Just when we turn pro...we won't be pro!:) They'll be throwing kod indian airs and crap like that! Will just call each other old school riders!;)

[shaolin]

thnks alot savage destruct my trick list isnt to flash at the moment but i pull no footers, no footed can cans, suicide's, no hander landers, front fender grabs to no hander landers, nothnigs, shin scrapers, a trick liam goesch made up (its where you do a cliffhanger but 1 hand is grabbing the middle of the handlebars like a rodeo, i can do can cans, can landers, nac nacs (not whipped) and candy bars

[NoFeAr FrEaK #101]

[savage destruct]

Hey!
Thats an awsome trick list! Mine is probably supermans, heelclickers, stale fishes, no footed can-cans, indian airs(supermans), no handers. That would be my list! my biggest trick i want to pull is a 9'0 clock nac! probably won't happen anytime soon but hopefully i'll just get balls next year! Take care dude!
