I remember when i was about 12 years old i use to have a plastic launch ramp for skateboarding/ bike riding. it was very portable and handy. does anyone know if they still make these things or where to buy them?
it was something like this..

I remember seeing them at sports authority, and academy, but I'd think most big box stores with bikes might have them. Good luck
Thanks i want to set one up on a hill behind my house..but i havent seen one in years.

be sure to get video and post on youtube :thumbsup:
will do!!
If it wasn't dirt/gravel, I used lumber and cinder blocks...
some of those plastic ramps don't support the forces of going into them and break....just build a wood one
i was going to pack some dirt under it for more support. i need plastic because i live in a appartment and need to bring it inside every day .

So true, we have one and moves when you hit; if you go that route make sure it's secure to the ground.
They flex out when you hit them, there are tons on the market though. Every little kid in my neighborhood has one, They have quite the little set up when they all get together.
Some of the above things are very true. Make sure you fill it in underneath for support. I've been looking into one too.
why can't you build a similar wood ramp and bring it into your house?

speaking of support watch the ramp supports for Pedro and then look when Napoleon hits it,.....the middle block is missing
