I was thinking about getting that one, but I think they might be discontinued making it hard to find.

By lip do you mean curve the top down more or put a smoother peice on the bottom. I have a big plasitic thing that was a sign at my dads work that would smooth out the bottom nicely.

I found a ramp like the factor x at menards

What do you mean by lip on the ramp. Is it the top or bottom?

Lip is like the angle the end of the jump is.


Just flat jumps have no lips

Jumps like yours have a slight lip, but are more of a distance ramp

LOTS of lip is like a quarter pipe, but thats not really a jump.


See this -----> ) Imagine its flat, take off half of it and thats quite a bit of lip.


Hope this...helps. :eek:

...a bit of length of downpiping along the top edge should be a good lip..nothing fancy..just something for that extra 'bounce'...

Once i get my h8 and oil shocks i can start tuning the ramp. Good thing i didnt glue it so i can make quick adjustments with shims or take wood off easily
