Launch Ramps from edsrails.co.uk
moley:
I've just bought a Launch ramp from edsrails.
Anybody bought one off them before?
It looked okay on ebay.
I need practice over jumps. I keep pulling to one side and my bottle is weak.
I thought instead of building a ramp out of scrap wood and a few bricks like BITD, I would buy something with a little better build quality.
I did look at the Mcgill ramps etc, etc but they didn't look long enough for me. I used to remember going over ramps as a kid and if they weren't as long as your wheel base or the transition wasn't right it could be a real jolt as you hit the ramp.
Size is 400Hx1200Lx600W.
Cost £36.80 which isn't cheap but its not extortionate either.
I was looking at the kicker version of the ramp which was the same height, but I thought I'd start off small before I try leaping tall buildings. I'll go for distance instead of height. At least until my confidence and ability returns.
All I need now is a quiet grassy area to practice on.

Its the £24 one. Its the same dimensions as the LR1 but crappier wood.
Its nothing special. I just couldn't be bothered making my own.
Plus wood is expensive, it doesn't grow on trees you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to learn to fly before I can learn to land!!!!
It should help cure my lean when airbourne and help me learn how to absorb the shock of landing again.
Then I can move onto the big boy's ramps.

i had the lean problem ages ago and i found that i was covering my rear brake with two fingers so when i pull up for the jump i was pulling harder with my right arm, stopped covering my brake and it cured it
