yeah im definetly going to adjust it more... its probably 3-4ft high.. 10-15ft long. 4-5 ft wide... ill probably make it about 8ft wide like you said. should i make it higher or longer? im no expert in making ramps, this is my first attempt

 

I'm no expert with ramps. But 10-15' long and 3-4' high would be a great place to start. Try it out and get the feel of it then adjust the height and length accordingly.

 

ok.. im just trying to figure out how im gonna make it wider but the same height and angle of the ramps.. ill probably get it done tomorrow though wish i had a dozer instead of a tractor

 

Well it sounds like you need more material. Some people will bury culverts barrels or other bulky items in the middle of the table top.
For the ramps..... If the height of the table top is 4' and your ramp is at a angle of 34-35 degrees the ramps will be about 7' long. This meas for every 12" horizontally the ramps will rise 8" vertically. I belive it would be a grade of about 65%.
Might not be exactly what you are looking for but its a good place to start. Try it out and adjust accordingly.

 

i already have the tabletop made i just need it wider, and i like to get alot of air.. so i have a steeper ramp.. i dont want to ramp 2 far.. just higher so ill go fairly slow til i get to it then floor it before i hit the ramp.

 

got pics?

 

Don't even think about trying this on me, Jgar. I'm watching you. After all, I resemble that remark.

 

holy **** it came today!! its a 2013 trx 400x... im not jumping it really high until i get the ramp a bit wider... ill post pics tonight when im done riding!!

 

I always stand up sort of a croutched postition before hitting a jump....

When you land your rear shock compresses and the garbage stock shocks are like a pogo-stick- which means- your possibally in for a fall when you land and are sitting down. Your shock is going to compress when you hit- then pogo back up.
Standing in the croutchish way your legs can absorb this.
If you find yourself nose is diving- give it some gas and lean back. Loose front shocks may contribute to this- may have to stiffen them up a tad.
If you want our nose to be down more to come into the landing tap the rear brake and the mometum of the rear wheels stopping will lower your front alittle- alongwith the movement of your body,

always good to stand- i think.

Plus before you hit the jump you can "seat jump" by jumping on your pegs and compressing the rear shock- ifyour timing is good the shock will be expanding the time your rear tires leave the ground giving you a tad more air.

Lots of little tricks- sorry if my typing aint to good


-oh- and it might be a good investment to get some nerf bars- when your landing things can get nasty if your foot slips off that teeny peg...

 

Busted....
