RE: Ramps/Jumps designs
How did you make yours?
I want to do something like this.... Put 2 or 3 stiff boards for the main support and then put a sheet or two of really thin stuff over it to make it smooth.
For a design. If it were me, I would paint all the sides black and just leave the top of it plain wood. Then maybe mask off a big logo, like 'TeamLosi', and paint around it leaving the logo wood. That could look cool.

RE: Ramps/Jumps designs
this is my ramp that i built, i put the cross bars on the bottom to add more structural integrity to the whole ramp so to make it last as long as i can, its been an aweseom ramp for the little nitro evader but it will get a real work out once my MGT arrives [>:] so well se, other wise it has held up to mates, LSTs, Buggies, savages so its good so far

If traction is a concern consider putting on some low grit sandpaper with a staple gun. It grips a lot better than smooth wood and you can paint over it too!

Nice ramp's guys. I would just keep the plain wood look as personally I think this look's best, I love the natural wood look of the ramps, well for just about anything. Keep it simple and keep it the way it looks. But thats just my opinion.

RE: Ramps/Jumps designs
the only problem with mine is man o man is it quite heavy, it is good cause it holds up to everything thrown at it but its a bi*ch to carry, i mostly only use it in my front yard, i do like the look of it like that but its gettin all scuffed up, i can getawesome air with that ramp i just prop it up sometimes if i feel good and then u relly see it fly hehe.

@scotty - yours is heavy because its build like its meant for a full size bike with a person. it looks pretty tough, nice job
