But i get where your coming from and a landing ramp may result in a "smoother" land.
Talk to Burton, Truhe or Drake I was told they spent a lot of time planning the jump at PNB to be successful. Yes, you could just throw a standard buggy or truggy out there but they didn't. Again just like motorcross, jumps start closer together then move further out as you gauge what you think you can make. If you fall short in motorcross and it has happened, you are screwed. At least with an RC car there is no bodily damage, we hope
