hmm portable downie's cost alot to make.... ard's setup on the truck cost em $160G lol so maybe go for a dirt one .... or i reckon you could make a decent wood one like they used on the warped tour for a few grand ... but its still a few grand that you don't need to spend

yeah the guy that owns the land were i ride wont let me dump dirt there, so he said i coulf use the dirt from the dam and an old f@ucked car for the base and then build a frame on top of it, me mates dad gunna try and get some steel girders and mdf and paintand put hay as a safety pad.
i wanna build one like this, oh and my ramp will be 2.3 metres high:

Hey, I got an old trailer from a friend, spent about $500 on metal and wood, and built a decent downramp. My ramp is 6 feet tall, so the landing is that tall, but you could go bigger if you need. It's not quite finished in the pic, but there's a little ramp that folds down to ground to complete the down ramp. Hopefully this helps.

$2000 for a sea container!!! hahaha. thats for a 40ft one. and you dont need a 40ft container. you only need about a 25ft container.

i think that blow up bag idea they have on the front of all those portable downramps in the freeriders is a great, especiely if ya gonna come up short on them.

I would want to come up short on some of those downramps... Seems unnecessarily more dangerous than dirt
