You guys need to take those things to one of them big, beautiful, concrete public skateparks that are all over the place over there. That would make for some sweet air for sure. Or maybe some BMX trails! That would be too sweet.
Once again, wow. I can't say wow enough when I see either of you guys' stuff. (Oh, BettyK, that Hummer you donated to the moderator contest is frickin' sweet, too!)

yeah, the glass beads are just for weight, it was a very hot, (hence the no shoos!) and windy day (20 - 30 mph). otherwise the rubber pads i stuck under the ramps is enough to hold them in place.
i'm really finding the limits of my suspension design, in the past 2 days i've broken the shell tab off the monster twice, snapped the hinge plastic clean in 2, (well not that clean, i ran it over the ramp till it snapped when i found the cracks! :smile: ) i've had to hold the shell on with screws and the shock mounts keep bending back from the landings on the hummers! all fixed now, just gotta beef up the shock mount. i'll do some pics when i get a chance of the alterations, so far the monster is holding up well. still some tweaking needed with ph2t's quad cell, but when that's done i think i'll be eating his dust! the times i've seen it go it's been absolute dynamite!! :eek:

Damn... I'm having problems with posting pics. Anyone has any decent image hosting site? I've been using Yahoo Briefcase service, but it seems to be down a lot of times. I can see the pic at my briefcase, but can see $hit here. I'll try to post it again...

Ok. I've done the preview thing and it is working. Hope this time everyone can see it. And Betty.k I bet you're right on da money...
