I think the problem is it needs to be close to the rostrum to judge it properley. Only problem having it close to the rostrum is you're likely to take someone's face off :woot:.

There's a door in the far end of the hall, will that do? :thumbsup:


In reply to the main question, I think most people know my answer. But I generally think that the people who don't like it, can't drive it properly

This quote coming from the one who couldn't make the first corner at Worksop in the first two heats.

Up front I will admit I'm a lousy driver;:cry:

I've just started Tuesday nights at Silverstone where they always put a mega ramp in..... I'm getting really fed up with breaking my car because I get the landing wrong.... I am trying and will get there! The main problem is that it's all or nothing - you can't "roll" through it.

I for one will be disappointed if this is the case at WB on Sunday! Also I think it would be a bit demoralizing for other beginners.

You can roll this ramp though, just need a reasonable speed on the up ramp, you will jump about 1ft then drive off the top

You cant roll it because you get smacked up the back side,you have your right to defend it.........but its a pile of shit!

I can't swim very well. So do you know what I do? I keep my big ass out of the water.

For those who can't jump there's always touring cars. Or minis. Or flower arranging.

Great you have upset him now he is selling all his stuff. :cry:

Can I just say the mega ramp was excellently built, can be built up easily and deconstructed easily. The pieces are light weight and the design is good.

I think the problem with it is it is slightly too big for indoors, and as such we had to position it in a place where it was difficult to line up straight for it. I think if it was lower and longer it would be bang on. Although I did enjoy it the few times we used it.:thumbsup:

the design is not for racing on,its better suited for one person at a time,not following each other(racing),it is easy to take the piss and thats what we all do,

Looks like a well put together jump, but that beeper is so off putting, makes me think the bloke from phone jumper is on the mic everytime someone goes over the loop :p
