Our truck had no problems with that ramp, it was the ground we had the problems with!!! It still didn't stop us from trying. That's how we learn.

a course with cones would work for about the first 1-2 secs of the first race

being the "bashers" we are we cannot stay in no stinkin' lines. Kinda like a 3 year old and a coloring book

LOL, Probably true. Mb some of that Black PVC Flexible tubing would help that. But I dont know where you could get it or if it would be inexpensive.

i'm sure we could all throw down for some(tubing)it's just getting it there and storing it would be the problem!

Tex,

Again, you are right. I am starting a collection of "JULIE" flags, the kind you see sticking out of the ground around construction digs. By spring I hope to have enough to mark out a simple "track". That along with some small cones, staked in place with stiff wire, should give us something to run around. My only other thought is to also use some chalk paint like they use on sports fields to indicate a course.

Now if somebody has a pickup truck and 50-100 2x4's that we can borrow.......

And we'll need the bed of the pickup for a driver's stand. Or bring your own milk crate to stand on!!

If 50 guys each grabbed their 50' garden hoses from their house and brought them out for the day, we could do it!

got the truck! whoes got the 2x4's! garden hoses is a great idea!

I just wonder how the Forest Preserve DIstrict would feel about us grinding their lawn down to the nubs with 50 racers going at it for 10 hours?

I suspect we'll find out!!!

No Cops, right Tex!!!

usually the cops show up at least once during our bashes. They usually don't say anything (except one cop who made all of us stop running). We just got lucky last time they didn't show up.

The cop that made us stop running said
"no motor vehicles in the park"
I said "what about my electrics"
he said "does it have a motor?"

kinda seemed like he was just trying to use all the "forest preserve police" powers he had. Rookie

does it have a motor? lmao!!! he wasn't a rookie he was just mad that he left his stadium truck at home!

I get it! HEHEHE


Were his eyes glazed?

oooooo lmao...That was great squirrel....hehehehehehehe

Yeah, that was mine. Thanks for the compliments guys.
That is my beginners ramp....not to steep, but you can still backflip off it. It's a little easier to hit at full speed too. Nice and rigid but light enough for one guy to move around easily.

Yeah it looked like it was light. Me and my brothers can make some pretty good ramps.(actually my older brother can make them better than I can) We use to make them all the time for our bikes and rollerblades.

I just wish I was able to jump the ramps. I don't have any at my house.

Make some UEM!!!
Hehe
