looking good, make a lip up top so you get a little launch at the end [8D] then you'll be stylin'

AW! YA good idea i will do that. Anyone have anyother pics like a homemade track thats has some onroad stuff with off road stuff on the same trak?? cuz im think of puttig one like that in my front yardand jw if anyone has done this before cuz i think it would be fun to have like the sidewalk a stairghtaway then a bancked coner to a set of woops then a gap then another coner witha table top then a a starightaway on the grass then two big U turns in the drive way then back to the side walki think that might sound good but ill prolly have a few jumps on the side walk and the track will be 5 ft wide then the with of the side walk o the big staright away or maybe i could use the road. i dont know i just goin off the top of my head. give me so fead back on this idea if u guys could

I did, I made an onroad/offroad track for me and my little bro's buggy... it was tight, there was one part where there was sand and it lead to the street... so we would hit it an angle and drift for like 20 feet... I had my 2WD truck and my little bro had his 4WD Schumacher CAT XLS, from like 1985! I gave it to him so he was satisfied... we had a little jump that was like 2 feet tall at the launch point at our grandma's one day... we made it so we pulled it out, and my cuz sets it up facing the next door neighboor's yard... so I gassed it and my truck had a really loose spur, but somehow it tightened and I got 6 feet of air and cleared the fence that was like 15 feet away... I must have been doing 20-25 MPH but I landed right next to the guy next door and he was like, "What the ***** ?!" He picked it up and threw it back over it was hilarious

you should make a huge assed jump that clears the strett, like the jump should be like 3 feet tall with a 60-70 degree launch... clear the street , just an idea
