Ramp Construction pics

[meesh]

well the after f*ckin around for way to long i finnaly have a right angle and and my curves are welded and ground down, so this question is for people who have hit and built ramps, i just want to know how my curve is what do yous reckon? to steep? to mild? i thought its pretty good and should give me a bit a pop?
cheers meesh

ps - my eye is on you snitz for a nice detailed answer LOL.

[[TOPGEAR]]

looks a bit steep to me, it should start rising a bit further back.


i havent built any before though

[GStylEr]

It's so small! Other than that it looks fine, not too steep, will probly work nice up to about 45, maybe 50 feet... To fix the thing at the bottom, just grind a long angle into the bottom rail so the curve transitions into it, should clean it all up and make it smooth by the looks of it. If ya don't get what I mean just let me know and I'll draw it up or somethin.

[fmx_kid89]

looks pretty good to me but maybe a bit to steep!!!

[meesh]

yeh gstyler i was thinkin that, its not that small man, that dude is pretty tall hey, its 5.5foot high and 13 foot long its only a foot and a half smaller(in height) than a aus comp i'm pretty sure. thanks for the tips keep em comin heh heh.

[The Snitz]

LOL!! Thanks for the heads up meesh ;)
Well mate, to be honest, I reckon you've nailed that ramp! Granted, the middle looks a little poppy, but you've evened it out with keeping the tip of it a little flatter. So pretty much you'll be riding up it, get the very first sudden shock of the curve, but then it will hopefully flatten the bike out enough to keep the bike floating in a good position. But as Grant said, that ramp is good for about 45foot max, and it's not going to be a high 45 foot either, probably want a downramp about 2.5 Metres high, any higher and you'll probably be axing yourself on the top of it, trying to scrape over.

If that ramp was full size It'd be perfect, because there'd be enough length in the actual ramp for the suspension to adjust to the differing transitions in the ramp. (remember this is only my opinion, i'm not expert by any means)

So my only improvement for that ramp, is let the transition begin earlier, I notice the bottom of the ramp is flat for about a foot, if you can raise it off the ground, and begin the process of the transition of the ramp as soon as you leave the ground, the better it will be. My philosophy is that the ground is flat for as long as your runup is, why not utilise every inch of your ramp to make the bike go in the air, so rather than keep the first foot of your metal flat with the ground, just raise it up gently, this will take out the steepness of the middle of the ramp, and will give you an almost constant radius. You don't have to do much, just a fraction and it'll come up roses I feel.

The very most, if you're allowed too, I'd add an extra 6 inches onto the height ;)That will help ALOT to that design, you've got overhang of the transition piece, and there's more if you raise the bottom of it :) Just a thought, if you can weld a filler piece of metal in to give it more height, I'd recommend it.

Actually I'll try work my photoshop skills (NONE) to draw a line where the start should be to even out the middle :)

Also, would you actually change the ramp? lol, cos most people would be too lazy to do it anyway haha, just keep working on it.

[GStylEr]

Yeah, doin what I said, would probably do what Steve said... If ya cut the curve into the bottom rail it'd stop it being so flat, fix the curve up, and make it smoother to the ground. I'll go draw a pic up now cause I'm bored that way you can see what I mean.

[The Snitz]

HAHA I told you I was crap at Photoshop. Anyway, this is enough to show you what I mean. It's exactly what Grant is thinking I dare say, hopefully his picture looks better.

Now as you can see by this pic I've done, I've taken that flat bit out of the bottom, and mellowed out the middle to give you an even transition. Because of this, you'll have about 4 inches of overhang as a wild guess. And we all know what that 4 inches of overhang means... 4 inches that could be put into making the ramp just a fraction higher and making the transition sit flush with the Steel that is vertical. :D

Anyway, thats all I think you need, but what you have made is most definetly ride-able, I'm not taking that way from you, you've done a very good job indeed, just to utilise each inch of that ramp, I'd personally just take raise that flat bit and you will be loving it!!

Can't wait to see this thing getting off the ground, no wait... YOU off the ground ;)

Steve :afro:

[GStylEr]

Hmmm, interesting. I now see what you were gettin at Steve, raising the whole thing... Slightly different to what I was meaning, my pic is also a disgrace, damn photoshop gotta make simple things hard... But yeah this hopefully shows what I meant. Very same effect I dare say, but whereas you keep the length of the overall ramp the same and slightly decrease the angle by the looks of it, I kept the angle the same and chopped some length off the bottom rail. I think. Have a look anyway.

[meesh]

CHEERS GUYS!! that does help alot!! so what your sayin steve is weld another little bit of metal on top of the upright, to make it like 5.9 instead of 5.5?. i think i will do that, i spose theres a few ways i could do it, but if i add a bit on i'll probably be thankin you's later, yeh the whole point of that ramp was for a learner ramp i guess, but i mean i thought mine was pretty big compared to say mungo's mini, or some of those bloody bodged up wooden ones LOL anyway i'll have a look at it tommorow and i'll put up some more pics up as i go along thanks again boys.

ps: i hope to be off the ground sometime soon to snitz heh heh

[The Snitz]

HAHA Yes Meesh it is better than those bodged up wooden ones! thank god ur going metal :D. Yeah I reckon if you just raise it a fraction, you'll have a bit of extra transition at your disposal, just raise it a fraction to even it out perfectly and hopefully I'll be recieving flowers in the mail HAHA. (roses are my favourite HAHA j/k mate)

Yeah keep us updated ay mate :)

[meesh]

well today i was havin a look at it and workin sh*t out, and what i did is i pulled the whole curve up more so theres a massive over hang at the top which brought the flat bit to a transition, i havent welded any more height on to it as yet, tommorow i'll post up some pics of how it looks with the curve pulled up.

geez man roses are pretty expensive,, but i guess ya cant put a price on that sort of knowledge lol. oh yeh if you have a look at that picture, its pulled up to the first weld on the ramp, it looked like almost the same angle just with more of a transition down the bottom.

[The Snitz]

Ah well, now that you know you have that Overhang, you can see how much you can lift the height. Just Grind the weld and hold it up to give you an idea. You probably won't need to actually do any specific bends, just push it up higher and it should still retain a better radius of the transition. Ah well I guess we'll see when you take some pics :)

Yep, Roses are expensive, but I have expensives tastes.. what can i say haha.

[meesh]

alrighty!! i have a bit more transition now, if you look hard you can see i grinded the bottom rail aswell, and i pulled the whole thing forward hence the huge overhang at the top anyway what do yous think now?? :p

[DirtCowboy]

i reckon it looks like your on a winner there mate nice work

[[TOPGEAR]]

yeh looks better now.

are u making it at school ?

[meesh]

PMSL topgear you remind of that butler dude off this adam sandler movie(can't remeber the name) he's like the quikest dude ever one minute he'll be way over the other side of the yard and you turn around and he'll be standing beside you lol. yeh i'm buildin it at shool aye even though i shouldve finished school by now heh heh.

[The Snitz]

Mate I'm very impressed to say the least! Now the question has to be asked, what is your "Budget" for this ramp? Cos you have yourself about 3/4 Full Size Ramp there! You can leave what you have there, that's perfect. Then Simply add another longer vertical support and give it an extra foot or so on the ground to make a Right-Angle and you have already 2 Supports done. That's perfect mate I'm very impressed!

Or to make it look good, ditch that upright that you have already (As I can see you have it on a slant, use it for the middle pieces to join the 2 sides later, and just cut a longer length for the end vertical piece and then work out the rest of the supports from there.

You probably have your designs and they're more accurate than mine, but I just thought I'd throw up my vision of it for you. Anyway, Good work mate, I can't wait to see you riding this thing!!

[meesh]

swoit man, yes well the budget is pretty well spent lol, but holy bageebuz i dont know but looks like it might be a to much of a voilent angle for the length of that ramp but i'm not sure(cheers for the diagram), yeh that upright is on a mild slant due to me not tacking it on properly but i figured it will pull into line when i weld it all together, anyway i'm glad i've got that bloody angle sorted out and i've got the go ahead from the snitz heh heh now i can get onto other thing like puttin in more supports and joinin both side together YAY!! anyway i'll post more pics soon.

[The Snitz]

Ahaha, Clearance to continue is Granted :p haha. If you were to stick with the original design, just cut off the overhang plush and use it as the supports for the very bottom, try and make use of every single bit of Steel. As a medium sized ramp that you were going for in the first place, it is now ready to go, and as a 3/4 size It is also ready to go, whatever you can afford to do I suppose :D

[one_industries]

thats pretty wickid, are you like making that in your classes at school or are you going in to school in the afternoon and shiz, my crap school wouldnt let me do that, its looking pretty sick, can you post pics of your progress and where are you gonna put it ?

[mulisha_fmx]

im loving that ramp bro

[meesh]

not much of an update but finnally welded one of the curves onto the right angle, thus this is the final angle and i put both of em together and they match up beautifully, as you can see i didnt have to get me classmates to hold it into place this time yippy ky yay motherf*cker lol.
check out me beastie stick welder in the background bbbbbzzzzzzzz:D stay tuned more is on its way i might go up and take a few pics of what i intend on usin as a downramp, its just a bit grassy at the moment and i'm waitin the metho, turps and weed killer to soak in.

[meesh]

probably help a bit if i put the pic there.:p

[The Snitz]

:D Good job mate, that will be one hell of a ramp when ya get out there with it. You'll be getting an A+ For that project thats for sure haha, keep it up and can't wait to see you gettin further advanced :)

[meesh]

cheers steve, me time just seems to go so quick when i'm in man arts now lol i just cant get enough time to make the bloody thing if it was up to me i'd ditch all the other subjects and just work on me ramp all day, i thnk the teachers are already gettin sick of me buggin em durin lunch and spares heh heh.

[meesh]

i intend on using some of this dirt to make my downy a bit steeper. dont u just love the council they leave all this land unfenced, and dump piles of dirt all over the show for me to go and use:p

[The Snitz]

Such a pretty sight all that unused piles of dirt *sniff*, how foolish of the council lol, they obviously didn't take into account young ragamuffins like yourself haha, looks good anyway!

[one_industries]

where about is that? ,im not trying to ruin your fun but what if the council or some random **** comes and steals your ramp or somthing like that, other than that it looks like a wickid place to put it and its gonna be a nice ramp 2, keep us updated

[freestyle_rulz]

hey the ramp i av at the moment is 5.5ft high n 12ft long n has pretty much the same angle as yours, its good but u cant get much distance outa it like 50ft, coz it will shoot u up a fair bit, wit mine i bottom out wen i hit the ramp n thats at a 30ft gap, ill get sum pics 2 show u soon!

[meesh]

yeh industries thats right beside the sewerage plant lol near those sand trails near noosa springs, and payin the price i did for that damn steel it aint goin to be stayin there permanently dont worry about that, its gonna be a 2 piece with wheels so it'll be pretty easy to set up wherever i can find a spot, yeh freestyle post some pics man, even of you hittin it so i can see the height ya gettin as there is one worry about me landing and that is power lines lol very bad but i didnt think i'd be gettin that high we'll see anyway, what bike are ya ridin and how soft is ya suspension? mine is so hard so i doubt bottoming out will be a worry but yeh post some pics man, i'm keen to see em, and one industries when my bike finnaly returns and that ramps done come and hit it, by the way did ya go johnsies on sunday place is lookin a bit better since those kids have out there shovelin shit, anyway cheers guys i will definetly keep this updated.

[meesh]

well we got two all done, i never thought i'd hear myself sayin i wish we didnt have holidays lol, anyway have a look.:)

[mick79]

meesh you lucky son of a ***** my industrial teacher ws a **** if told him i wanted to make a ramp for my dirt bike he would have failed me there and then for the rest of the year ya ramp is comming along sweet keep posting the pictures looks like you got a bit of clearing to do on those bushes

[meesh]

hahahaha, well lets just say naggin helps, evryday persistence and tellin him i got no money to sue him helped, plus he's a pretty cool techer, apparently its for display purposes only lol. and yeh clearin is happenin aye fair bita work hahaha.

[mick79]

how long ya been ridding meesh

[meesh]

2 years, my parents were never smart enough to by me a bike when i was a youngin, i guess even persistent nagging doesnt work all the time lol.

[[TOPGEAR]]

is tommorrow the last day of school for u ???

ask if u can work on it all day cause its the last day of the term.

[meesh]

nah today was MY last day, i have thought about that, but it wouldnt happen AS no teachers are willing to give up thier time to be in the same block which they need to be again cause of shitty liabilty and what not, and tommorow its practice for the QCS so i'm flaggin school as i'm not going to be sitting that exam.

[mick79]

i dont think ill ever have the balls to hit a ramp that high that things gonna send ya to the moon and back hahhahah

[meesh]

oh well, theres only one way to find out lol.

[meesh]

chopped her in half today, makes it a lot easier to work on and carry around, next step fill in supports:)

[mulisha drz]

hey meesh the ramp looks good how did you bend the metal for it and was it hard

[meesh]

nah not really it wasnt to hard, there was a fair bit of screwin around - marking out, cutting, bending, welding, then maken em both the exact same, but i used the metal bending guide for the rev1, check out www.fmxramps.com and go to rev1 you'll find the guide that will tell you everything you need to know.

[mulisha_fmx]

sweet pics man that ramp will be sweet when its finsihed

[bentbarz]

what are u using for the face. Plyif so what thickness it's just that i'm ordering my materials this week for my ramp. Thanks.

[troop of doom]

20mm cut into sections

[bentbarz]

thanks

[one_industries]

yeah i have a rough idea on where you plan to put it and yeah ill come out and hit it, if its cool with you and stuff. Yeah those guys did a bit of stuff but that one jump is all screwed now and there building a fence around the place so i dunno if we can ****ing ride there anymore, Is where your gonna put your ramp like in all that spare land like beside and behind noosa springs, anyways man the ramps looking sick keep up your work and it will turn out all good

[meesh]

hey bentbarz i'll probably use 18 or 19mm marine ply. whats the go with this fence thing?? yeh that is that spare land behind noosa springs its alright sometimes theres a few ok spots.

[meesh]

started puttin in some supports.:p she's startin to weigh a bit now lol.

[twitch fan]

with that cut thing how didu gett the ramp sdes thhe exact same shape and size

[meesh]

i'n not sure if your talkin about the curve and or the way i cut it in half, but i'll explain the curve, i just layed down the steel, marked all the measurement on both at the SAME time and cut em both at the SAME time then bent em, if they arent exact they should be bloody well close to exact if you've cut it all the same, then i welded the cuts they didnt match up perfectly when i welded mine so i had to cut and bend one a bit more to match the other one, when i chopped it in half i attacked it with a cutting blade on the grinder.

[twitch fan]

cool cause i hhave heard of ssome proples being different sizes and stuff

[Robbo66]

Looking good man:)

[METAL_MULISHA13]

Sweet, havent checked this thread for ages, nice work ;)

[bentbarz]

nice ramp keep up the good work

[AdrenalneJnky]

Looking good Meesh:D

[armoss]

nice looking ramp dude whats the size of it now like length hight and weidth ?

[meesh]

cheers guys. i havent joined the two sides together yet, but when i do it'll be a bout 3ft wide, and its about 5.7ft high and about 13.5ft long.

[GStylEr]

Why 3ft mate? Just wondering, but it'd be easier to go 4ft wide, which is 1.2m, since that's the standard width of sheets of ply and checkerplate and pretty much any surface. It'll just be less work cause you won't have to trim the surface off or anything. That's my thoughts anyways. What are ya putting on the surface by the way?

[unhallowed]

dude, not to ruin your fun and stuff. but in the long run. plywood sucks for a ramp. even if its only for the top layer. it will start to mold away if its left out in the weather. and one day ( if you dont check it for cracks and molds ect.) your front wheel is gonna punch through it. it would be safer to put a layer of checkerplate or aluminum sheets. i know its more expensive and money is probably tight right now. ( thats why i havent built my own ramp yet.) but in the long run its worth it. i wouldnt take a short cut on safty.

but your ramp is looking mighty sick, and im mad jealous.

cheers.

[meesh]

well thats what i'm doin then lol;) cheers g-style, i did say about, i wasnt quite sure excatly how wide but know i know so there ya go;)

and unhallowed i realise that aye but i wont be leavin it out in the weather, i was thinkin checker plate but apprently its a prick to weld with a stick welder:confused: , i dont aye i might go checkerplate but i'd imagine to cover my ramp itd be double what it would be for ply - correct me if i'm wrong, anyway if get ply it will be marine ply and coated (like a moist snatch):p with weatherproof paint and the likes. cheers for the suggesttions mate.

[M.r Mulisha]

hey meesh wot kind of bike ya got?

[meesh]

98 cr125:p its been at the shop for what seems like an eternity getting 1,3,4 gear replaced, first ride back is gonna feel like heaven on earth haha.

[DirtCowboy]

god damn that must burnt quite the hole in your wallet meesh having to fix all of that

[meesh]

$800, pity it isnt covered by the warranty, havent got it back just yet either.

[meesh]

slowly gettin there:p

[The Snitz]

Look good mate!!!
Nice join there, first perfect by the looks of it :)

What happened to the tip of it? Someone forget to add it on? :p

[meesh]

yeh, i actually chopped a tiny bit off because it seemed like it was to kicky after i welded the supports in, something definetly changed, but i've kept the tips and i'll make a little attachment so i can stick it back on if i want.

[mulishatroop666]

that looks pretty good

[I_Bleed_blue]

looking sick meesh

[meesh]

Today is a great day, a few reasons why....
1. My bike is finished and i'm gettin it tomorrow.
2. We finally got some rain, we bloody needed it to:).
3. I got to work to on my rampy all day, due to the smart people doing their QCS practice test, no year twelves classes were runnin so i scored the whole man arts block to myself:p YEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAWWW. run-a-muck:) .

[DirtCowboy]

gees must be nearly finished there meesh good job

[mulisha troopa]

tell us when its finished and then put a few pics of u jumpin it up. it looks like a pretty sweet ramp. i so badly need a ramp about that size....

[[TOPGEAR]]

looking good, looks like a nice size aswell.

do u have to pay for any of this metal ??

[meesh]

cheers boys, yeh i payed for the whole thing, as if my school would shout me a ramp lol. My ply is comin in soon 4 sheets of 10mm. I want to paint the ply, anyone got some tips on the best sand to use for grip?

The steel altogether was $460, th eply is gonna be $120:)

[one_industries]

wow looking sick as man, well catch up for a ride somtime

[The Snitz]

Whoaaa hang on a min there mate, 10mm ply? If you haven't got it yet, Can I suggest you go for at least 17 mm ply, 21mm is preferable. If you have 10mm ply make sure you have more supports to support it :)

[bentbarz]

YEAH i used i think 18mm or 17mm or something i would definately try and get 17mm or thicker

[meesh]

hahahaha dont worry steve, notice how i said 4 sheets, they are gonna be glued together to make 2 sheets, I thought it would be easier to bend em that way, so it will be like 20mm thick in the end:p , I was also wondering about painting the frame, do i need a primer before i paint galvy? or can i just slap on the black?:p , AND WHATS A GOOD SAND TO USE? LOL.

[The Snitz]

hahaha I knew you were a smart cookie Meesh my man ;) I shouldn't have doubted you :p
I don't think you need primer to paint galvy mate, I didn't and mine is doing quite well for about a year old :)

[sik_50]

that will be pretty sweet man.im guessing you will be usingg that for the big bike????anyway i would jump over 50 foot of it.but good work.

[meesh]

heh heh cheers steve i'll be painting her up in no time. Hey sik_50, are you talkin about goin 50ft on a big or small bike? i'd assume a big bike cause tryin 50ft on a fiddy on that ramp would be bordering on suicidal hahaha.

[procirkut]

put some more pics up meesh

[meesh]

I dont really have anymore that would show anything new. but i have got a pic thats similar, there'll be more up soon when i paint and ply it :) :p

[The Snitz]

Sweeeet :D Ply Ply Ply... Paint Paint Paint!! haha... So close to riding that baby :) May I suggest one more upright where the first support is on the bottom ;) Otherwise that will bend down everytime you hit it :)

[meesh]

yes you may;) lol , and i'll probably stick one more angled one at the top aswell, just to know none of it will be movin or bendin outta shape, also since that pic there has been another support put in down the bottom across the face:p.

[unhallowed]

hey meesh, i've been on www.fmxramps.com about the free rev 1 plans, i've wanted to build it for a while. and now that i can. i was really wondering on how to bend the metal, i was thinking get my 8 foot peice and my 20 foot bottom peice. then tac the straight peice on there so it looks like a huge triangle and then just weld in the supports and force it down to them and tac them in and weld them and see what type of bend i get.. but i didnt know if that would work. and i would like to try their method. but i dont get what they were saying. can you explain it. or post up a picture of it.. i would really appriciate it.

cheers.

( by the way. i hate you. im so jealous of your ramp. i want to fly to aussie and kick you. then take it, but i dont think it counts as carry on luggage..)

[4syth]

get ur metal bent properly at a steel rolling place, i got 2 piece of 25mm sqaure tubing rolled for $40, cheap and precis

[mulisha troopa]

yo meesh, when do ya reckon ur gonna finish ur ramp. i wanna see this thing in action!!!

[meesh]

Hopefully by the holidays which is.......7 school days away, i got paint, ply and bolts today so it shouldn't be to long at all.

[stavross]

can i come hit it please dude?

[meesh]

If ya can bothered drivin here from brissy, by all means come on down...or up, i forget which way it is lol.

[The Snitz]

Hahaha.... Road trip ay Callum ;) Head over to Meesh's joint :p

(It's up from Brisbane ;)) hehehe

[DirtCowboy]

damnit i need me self another bike road trips oh so much fun go for a run up the coast on the way home ;)

[mulisha troopa]

if only you were closer to me...

[meesh]

PAINT!:p, also put some ply on the top half. Still wonderin what a good sand for grip is........anyone?

[The Snitz]

Swish :) looking good mate

Sand.... Ummm any sand? lol it won't matter too much. Personally I'd recommend you go to you're nearest Wattyl dealer and buy this Tar compound called Perm-A-Tar. It is a 2 can thing where you have a 3 litre can of Tar and a 1 litre can of thinner, mix it together to make the tar runny, then paint the ply with it and it'll dry hard. Best thing to waterproof the ramp and it sticks well to the tire when you ride up it, like tar on the road ;)

[meesh]

cheers steve, yeh I was thinkin about that tar stuff, I remeber reading it in a thread somewhere when I first joined this forum, i'll probably just use some sorta large grainy sand mixed with the rest of my thick oily sludge black paint lol, bloody wattle they aint cheap lol.

[meesh]

WOOD!!;) , soon my friends,..........soon.....:p

[deev8]

man u must be spendin a fortune! how much have u forked out so far??

[meesh]

about $600 and thats about all that needs to be done, dont forget I got very expensive steel acording to brad that is, still it was damn expensive($460 for 48 meters, my ply only cost me $70 which was sweet. COLD GAL and paint = $50, bolts and nuts were about $20.

ps - don't forget the government is shoutin me this one;) .

[4syth]

coming along great bro, what steel tubing are you using?

[deev8]

government? why is that?... and yes, if you have already said why in this thread then i must have just missed it cos i have read the whole thing...

[meesh]

cheers boys, nah I haven't said why yet haha, Basically because my student allowance pays for stuff for school, stuff like school fees, guitar strings, educational excursions and FMX ramps haha. I used 40x40x3 galvy as my steel.

[The Snitz]

WOOT!!! Looking good Man!! :D
Bet you were stoked when you first put those pieces of ply on!
Looks good mate, how much to go? Bolt it on and give it a couple of coats of paint, then good as gold?

[meesh]

Heh heh, spot on mate, something about puttin the ply on a ramp that gives ya that little feeling lol, yeh the top half is bolted on and the bottom has a few bolts, just need to put a few more on, the clamps are still on because I'm waiting for the liquid nails to dry. After that paint and sand, and she be done, pity my bike needs a rebuild already, can't believe how many times i've rebuilt my bike, it's a bummer, can't wait for that 250 to come my way lol.

edit - Forgot to mention that I have to weld on one more bar to the bottom for support for the ply:( , another lesson learnt.

[The Snitz]

Sweet :)

Yeah, Callum (Stavross) and I were discussing the sound of your bike in that video from the other day thinknig it didnt' sound right lol, thats why ay :p

Ah well 250 soon and a new ramp, can't complain with that :D

[meesh]

nope, can't complain at all aye, I just gotta get the funds and then trade her in, My bike has just gone from being snappy and reponsive as, to being a gutless peice of horse poo lol
, but it's always sounded deeper and sort of thicker compared to a lot of other 125's i've ridden with, hopefully my rebuild will be under warranty, and it comes back as snappy as one of them sexual leather type peoples whips LOL.

[deev8]

how the hell are u gonna get it home from school??

[meesh]

Stick it in a ute and drive it home:p lol, it is a two piece afterall;) .

Hey deev, where abouts on the sunshine coast are ya?

[deev8]

maroochydore...

[fmr_narlynailz]

yo looks good but i buit one look a little like that n it was poppy n i mean poppy we had it 2.1 m high n bout 6.1 long constant bend of 9.1 so any way good job tho anyway ya can get in da air i say god speed

[benny01]

meesh your ramp is sick now that you have the ply on:)

[meesh]

cheers bro, I noticed your in noosa, what school ya at?

[benny01]

im at your school and i have go a dt200 and a kx60.

[meesh]

ohh haha, know i know who ya are, lol.

[[TOPGEAR]]

is the ramp finished yet ?

[benny01]
