RAMP!

guess what i did in my backyard without my mom knowing it! i built a new ramp! i have a big hill in my backyard and i have this tree house. so i took down part of the tree house and made a ramp! don't think i'm crazy but my next door neighbor is like 5 so i took his wagon and went down it on that! it was really fun and i got a little painful airtime![8D]

lol 38801xlr8. My cousin did something like that.[8D]

Take a pic of it! We did that b4 w/ some bed rails...it was only 4 ft high tho. We used a wagon also. We'd sit in it, get pulled up backwards and get released...sadly, no air time or anything exciting except a rough ride off the rails onto some rough dirt. We also had this swing that we tied a rope to underneath. One would sit in it while the other would pull the rope over and over until we would reach a height of like 20 feet off the ground as we spun. Man...that was like one of the best rides cuz we'd fly over a neighbors fence, nearly hitting our feet on it, and then swing back and over a rooftop of the house. It simulated a ride on a Frisbee ride.

Sounds like fun Angry Gumball, Luckily for me i live next to a wooded area which is great for rope swings. Throughout the summer, i would go down there put some swings up with my mate's gf's rope, and man we had some fun times. Also the main place to build ropeswings there has about a 15ft drop off which was created for builders some time ago, and luckily enough there is a big fat tree that sticks on the top of it. I built several off the one tree. One you could round round the tree in a big cirle and get 10-ft of air plus the 15ft drop so your basicly right at the top of some of the little trees. We also had a sit down one the goes straight down off the drop, it was by far the best as we tried rope to the bottom of the swings, then about 20 people would hoist you up 20ft in the air and release ya. Sitting along with knowone pushing you would get you about 10ft of air as the pivot of the swing was asbout 15ft away from the bank you stood on. The swing was simply the best. I mean you even got the true feeling of airtime in your stomach as you hit the trnaround. I also built the crazy invention of jumping of a log which i propt about 10 ft into the air, then falling for 5 ft and then hitting the swing. Which was (even tho its was a rope swing) was pretty scary. Standing in top of a log 5ft with a 15ft dropin front of you wasnt a great feeling you also had the problem that you hit the bush in front of you, which could cause you to loose grip and fall. One day there was more than 30 kids down there, which resulted in 3 broken arms (still the record) at lots of angry parents moaning at me, so as a result most of them were taken down. Either way im gonna do it again when the weather heats up

haha!, sounds fun, but i just do it the easy way, go to my local skatepark, shen you drop into the 9-foot your wheels arent even touching the ramp until it starts turning over, and also the 24-foot vert wall, shen you use the roll in and hit it you go really high and on your way back down(if you dont kickturn)it takes your stomach.[:D]

oops, kept putting shen, lol[blah]

I cant even drop in on a lousy four-footer!!! Last time I did that I fell on my a--!

practice, thats all i can say,eventually you'll get it and be able to work up to one that take your stomach lol[:D]

That sounds AWESOME! Nightride has a coaster in his backyard. its plywood naild together going down a ravine and like 2X4's for supports. it is supposed to have good lats and good air. I think I'm gonna get to ride it this weekend when I meet him. He made a brake run, but I don't think it has any type of breaks yet. How tall is your treehouse?

my mate had a coaster in his back garden, it was total poop, it was this wooden thing which you pulled up a hill with rope then released, then i went over some bumps had a corner and that was it.

[gouldy]

Still, for in a backgarden, thats pretty good, i think, did he build it himself?

no...i don't mean i built supports or anything! it goes down a hill made of ply wood, goes back up, then down, then you have to turn fast enough to no hit the corn of the house. i'd say it's about 8 feet tall.

oh yeah! i also forgot...i went down it on my in-line skates and at the bottom there's this big bump and i almost fell but when i just about made a "U" out of my back i got back up strait.

Today, as I got into the car, we hit a speedbump b4 I could get my seatbelt on. I experienced some mega-airtime...in a car! It was fun cuz I lifted about a foot off the seat and landed gently
