I have a ramp build in my grand parents pasture, i used to ramp it on my 750 brute. the ramp has the potential to get about 6-8 ft of air, i just ordered a 2k12 trx400x, if i ramp my ramp without a landing ramp could it mess up my quad?

 

Any jump, if high enough or if the landing is botched can cause harm to a quad. Best thing is to start off small. Big thing people don't do is to stand up when jumping. Gives you much better chance of correcting in flight if you didn't launch right. A table top jump with a ramp on each end is a good start. Beyond that I don't jump too much. These are jumps that my son and a couple buddies were doing on utility machines. I never got that high.

 

well, im pretty good at jumping, and knowing how to land.. ive rode dirtbikes since i was really little and im just now getting into quads, however this is the first time ive bought anything brand new and im just trying to be a little bit cautious thanks for your advice though.

 

like moose said take it slow table tops are a good way to start because if you come up short the ground is not that far away.

yes i would defiantly take the time to build a landing ramp it will make the landing so much softer and it could save your butt if you come in a little to nose heavy



this is me jumping my warrior not quite as big as the jump your talking about but i didnt have a field

 

ok well im making a tabletop now... im using a tractor and ive never really made any ramps like this before but so far its coming out pretty good, ill post pictures when im done.. fourwheeler should be here in 1-3 weeks

 

Bwaaa waaa haaa haaa.... Sounds like your diabolical plans are coming together. Can't wait to see the pictures.

 

ok this tabletop is kinda kicken my ***, its coming together just taking time... itl be worth it in the end tho ill post pics in a few hours

 

ok any idea how wide it should be?? its about 15ft long... and about 4-5 feet wide, but my grandpa thinks it should be wider... im pretty certain i could jump it fine.. what is your opinion?

 

I should be wider in case you don't land perfectly.

 

I would make it wider, 4-5' wide leaves little to no room for error. Try 8' wide, that would give you a 2' fudge factor in either direction. A length of 15' sound good. How tall is it?
