I'm thinking of building a ramp but don't know if it would be good or just keep jumping with dirt. What do you reccomend.

Depends on what your comfortable with. I suggest usin someone else's steel ramp if you have access to one, just to see how they feel, and then ya can make up ya mind. Steel ramps have A LOT of advantages such as the transition never changing, no ruts, and changable distance within minutes.

My friend has got a ramp and they are pretty sick for long airtime and distance but there is nothing wrong with dirt and also it's cheper then a ramp but if you whant to go small you can push the ramp in and if you whant to go big you can push it out. i would go for a ramp

I used to have a wooden ramp but it got termites and so we had to ditch it. I'd go for a ramp, but they do get boring. Its good if you got a ramp jump, and then some rhythms or something as well, dosent get so boring then.

I have jumed dirt comfortably for a fair while now, then one of my friends made a ramp, we set it up for a downramp on a 3metre long hill, landed 3/4 the down it and cained mehself, it is a fair bit different hitting ramps, and that ramp was sheet aswell, so get a good one!!
