Do you know off hand how wide the track is? I could make a couple this week and bring them saturday and see how they work. I have some boat carpet I could staple to them ( ugly green but oh well ).

the lanes on the blue carpet are 6' wide but the jumps we use alrdy are 4' wide. So i would say if you make some just make them 4' wide so we can use them anywhere on the track some lanes are a bit narrower or wider Plus then we can use this jumps on the back track also when it gets done.

Also if you make them just make sure the transition onto the jump is smooth from the floor that way we have full control on and off the jumps

Will do Chad. This boat carpet is very thin. More for traction than it will be for cushion. I'll leave a couple inches of overhang for a transition. I'll try and make a table top. The material is same as peg board, just without the holes. Should make for fairly light jumps.

cant wait to have this up and going. if i could ever catch a break from work, i'd be up there throwing what i could at that track. hoping to make it out there this sat for at least touring.........

Well Chad I wanted to show ya what I've come up with so far. Keep in mind, I've only had a hour after work to tinker.

I'm shooting for a basic tabletop. So far this is what I have. Pretty light frame. Take off and landing are the same angle but I can change that if it doesnt work right. Its just short of 4' wide, and 36 or so inches long. Trying to fix it so its easy to change. I covered it with corplast and its makable pretty easy with what little takeoff room I have. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Very nice man.... looks good. Cant wait to try it out myself. We should have about 5 that i know of for saturday to race maybe more.... so we should have a great time jumping your jump and the other 3

i wish there was a way to make a true double jump... so we can get air between the take off and landing ramp. That way the more exp guys cant jump it and the beginners can roll over the two jumps with no issues if you know what i mean

I haven't been in this conversation, but I will concur with Chad, that frame looks pretty cool. I look forward to jumping that myself.
