Testing...

Now that I am fully done building my ramp I got the ramp moved to a new area for testing. The area is at a type of dock at my friend’s house. You put the ramp a few feet from the wall and jump it and you will land on a flat spot at the top of the wall. The wall of the dock is almost four feet tall.

The overall outcome of my ramp was a success by far. It was sturdy and launched me perfectly into the air. I might have not gone as far as I wished to go but eventually we are taking the ramp to a new spot to replace another jump so we can make a sixty-foot jump.

Finishing Up

After the ramp was built, I planned to test the ramp for distance and stability. My expectations for the ramp are when testing the ramp that it launches you a pretty good distance, stable and doesn't break or get damaged.

Final Product

I have finally finished my dirt bike ramp. I added on siding to make it look a lot better. I also put wheels and handles on it for easier transportation.

Reconstructing The Ramp

I started taking apart my ramp to replace the wood that was cracked from screwing in screws with out counter sinking them first. Then I shortened the ramp by a foot and put two sheets of plywood over it. I still have to finish putting on the plywood and screwing the rest of the screws in.The ramp is now forty inches tall and forty nine inches wide.

Building The Ramp

I started working on my ramp and worked about seven hours on it. After I put the frame together I decided that the ramp was to big and I will have to make the ramp a nine foot by four foot ramp.

Today I went too my testing spot for my ramp and measured the distances for catching speed and stopping in time. I have found a few spots where I can test the ramp. I started flattening out where i might be placing the ramp

This is a picture of where I will be catching speed to

 hit the take off of the ramp.

Where I was leveling out where the ramp will be placed.

The Looks

This morning I got some steaks and string and placed the steaks into the ground of how my ramp would turn out.
