Need a ramp
I can't get to the track (20 miles away) during the week... I was thinking of building a ramp for some big air. Are flat jumps ok, or must I make a curved ramp? Also how do you correct for pitch by hitting the brakes/gas in mid air?
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: Need a ramp
just get a 20 buck factor x ramp from ur local toy store. that gives plenty of air (8ft off the ground and about 50ft distant with a savage) and if thats not good enough just put some bricks underneath it for more height.[&o][

RE: Need a ramp
Build a ramp out of wood. Build a base using 2x4's and such and buy a bendy type of wood to put over it. You want a curve to deliver optimum throwing angle without leaving the ramp early or losing too much speed.
