[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 2092872, member: 7539"] THAT'S AWESOME Steve! I have a visual picture of the ramps we used to build in my mind and I'm sure yours were similar. We'd stack as much solid (well kinda solid) base material as possible that looked like it might stay together under the pressure. Most times, we were more focused on height than stability and as a result there were many accidents from the whole ramp completely exploding once the front tire hit it. Nothing but plywood scraps, broken cinder blocks, bricks, bike parts and boy flying in every direction. Sometimes the ramp itself would just crack and break leaving you to plow straight into the pile of lift material. From the time I was 5 to 10, my knees were in a perpetual state of skinned. That back alley dirt must be made of O positive because I guarantee you I had at least a quart of it in my blood system. [/QUOTE]
