Long distance ramps

Anyone got pictures of long distance ramps? Or even dimensions? Interested in the size of them.

Everyone's ramp is different in height. I know mine is shorter in height than Capes and Sinkpiel A.K.A. Bird. Lengths are around 70'.
Hopefully this helps.

Thanks. Ya from what I have heard and seen everyone is using their own style. Want to find out what it would cost to build one. I imagine not cheap but at the moment the quad record is weak and needs a serious distance in the books.

Ya 176. I know there has been farther jumps but not on a legit record set up. I did a 140 triple on my 90 mod when I was like 16 lol since then I have wanted to do 200+. The main goal now is to get a ramp and break the record on my race quad. Then get some sponsors in on it, build a long distance quad, a good venue, and see how far I can go. I see having a harder time getting everything to do it than the actual jump itself.

The width of my ramp is almost 8'. They are very expensive to build correctly.
I think my Honda Rancher could go 176'...ha ha
Good Luck
