robbie1 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hi guys, It's time my buggy got air borne. Any tips on ramps would be great. Is curved better than just a straight angle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshyjol Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Unsure on dimensions. If it looks right, chances are it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anythinkwithaengine Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Have a look on ebay type in skateboard ramp... http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2a2118cad7 this one looks wicked i have got this ramp and its no good for me as my trophy truggy is too wide for it i put bothe ramps side by side and its just over the width of the truggy but trying to aim the truugy at speeds is hard there is no room for error but if pulled of nicely it sends the truggy flying my cousin jumps his hyper 7 of it aswell and its ok but just sends the hyper sky high not forward lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didski Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I went to buy the materials after we wanted a ramp - it ended up half the cost to buy one! We got the osprey large ramp and its perfect for my 1/8th, 1/10 vehicles and great fun! http://www.skatehut.co.uk/skateboards/ramps/osprey_large_jump_ramp.htm Edited September 30, 2012 by Didski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didski Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 So much fun with the ramp - were jumping kids, bikes and all sorts! This is ours: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BfPbADbn6pk. You can see more videos of jumps on my channel - not many though!! Some others with the same ramp I noticed on YT: http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=relmfu&v=L94TTxctY0Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
