[crustydemon_69]

[Insane]

Yup I have, it's at a mates and I've been there 3 or 4 times and maybe hit it 40-50 times.. I stayed upright the whole time too... Bonus... :)

[the_joe_show]

no, dont know anyone with one, dont have any land, how sad is that.

i want to though.

[Insane]

Where are you from Joe_Show??

[shirefmx]

yep i've hit shaggas old ramp, a mate now owns it and has it at his farm... the day i was hittin it though, hehad this tiny little piss ant downramp and i had no back brakes so it was a bit sketch, but still fun. I hit a couple of others too i think on was a rev 1 and the other was similar but a bit higher .... can't wait till mines finished!!

[Taryn411]

Yup, believe it our not there are chicks out there that have hit the ramp. I have hit it many times now and also another chick, Karyn who i ride with has hit it was well. Although i havent hit in ages to save myself for motocross. Check out the new Freerider mag out...The article 'Way out West' is featured in our home town Carnarvon, sweet ay!!

This is a pic of me on the ramp, I hope it turns out.

[Taryn411]

well my pic didnt turn out, check it out in the photos albums section, under user albums!

[Insane]

Hi Taryn, I had a quick looksie at why your image wont work and your trying to use a url that links from your hard drive. You need to use a attach file thingy in the reply to thread area... Here is the pic though:

[Taryn411]

thanks for puttin my pic there insane, i wouldn't have a clue how to put the thing there myself!!

[shirefmx]

[Good Karma]

i have only hit a rev 1 ramp, it was really smooth though.

[Simo]

hey i have built and done many ramp jumps i will get a few pics on ere.

[Good Karma]

That ramp at Scotts is way too small mate. But we will get a new one soon mate.

[Simo]

nah that ramp flings u up high we just need a downramp now!

[Simo]

Awsome for dam jumping on the pushbikes u need to go fast though!

[Good Karma]

But it suck for big bikes like 125s, its just too small.

[Simo]

Yea i know but u can still get damn high!

[SWFMX_Wesa]

WESA

[spana]

dammit. you guys are so lucky to have hit a pro ramp. the nearest ramp from where i live would be at least a couple of hours away

[shirefmx]

build one then!! if you cant afford a metal one just make a wooden one .... i've made a few wooden ones that work really well ....

[Simo]

Yea me and andrew was ganna hit the old X games ramps at nyora the other week but we needed a MA license and shit so we couldnt be botherd. The ramps where nice though!

[YAMAHA-KID]

heheh i havnt,but i wanna,dont ya have to push ya bike into the ramp to get the suspesion to get ya right or somthin?? compression?? i dunno. but i kbow it is not like hittin a dirt ramp?

INTENSE FMX 2003

[Taryn411]

Bikes suspension will compress on any jumps, but on the ramps it does it more partically on the kicker ones....I found hitting the ramp pretty easy and controlable, just need right position on the bike and confidence!!

[Robbo66]

yeah Taryn is right. if you have a dirt lip and a metal lip, that are the same hieght, lip. like exactly the same, the metal lip (ramp) will kick you hiegher.
they are much better because you control the distance you wanna jump

[armoss]

yeah i was at nyora the ramps were good but gaps wernt to big

[Simo]

yea i was down their filming armoss. I was fliming sam, while he was doing a doughie he flicked a tyre at me and it missed me by 1 foot lol. I will put the pics on monstertruck.com.au from nyora tonight!

If you built a dirt lip aexactlu to the high length and curve measurements of a ramp, it will kick you exactly the same provided the dirt is packed hard and isnt all loose and rutted, just cause its metal doesnt mean is has some magical spring in it that kicks you higher, its just because dirt lips are easy to duplicate.

hmm you get heaps more grip on a metal/ wood ramp though and there is never inconsistencies like ruts etc ... i reckon that extra grip could kick you higher but who cares really

[yike]

It seems that everyone has hit a ramp, What about a full size comp ramp?
