Im going to email dave tomorrow at Rave X and see if this winter I can hit his ramps. I know I told myself I wouldn't touch an IQ, but I may have found a 440/600 for cheap.


Why wouldnt u buy an IQr? they are the best sleds for this sorta thing (well or the new snopro). You said ur wanted a prox earlier...the IQr is 100 times the sled those are. You seriously shoulda stuck with the 440 rev u had way back when, better sled then all the zr, snopro, fusion, mxz etc etc sleds u bought since then! Just ride a sled before counting it out, in the IQr's case it will take some getting used to but it is hands down the toughest chassis on the snow.

Make sure you ask them if they are willing to push the ramps in close for you, you will die if you think ur gonna hit even just a 35 ft ramp gap given the level of experience u have. Not to discourage you im just saying not to get in way over your head, start jumping some stuff that size before moving to a ramp setup with consequences for comming up short or overjumping. My advice is build a snow jump to ramp specs in an area where there isnt huge consequences for commin up short and get your timming down, same thing i did and it helped alot.
Better to be safe and start small then ruin yourself riding way over your head.

^best advice i've seen for awhile..

Sedz have you ever ramped the new sno pro?



Owning a race sled is like having a totally hot girlfriend..... All of your friends want to see it, feel it and check it out..... They all want to know what it is like to ride it, but if they only knew how much time and money it takes to keep one up, they would call you a fool!

Yeah Sedz, I'm not looking to go launch a ramp my first time out. I know I would wreck and get hurt. Small steps and practice makes perfect.

There you have it, in your own words. If you're going to build a ramp start with a medium sized one. I guarantee you will not get bored with it. You'll get the feel of jumping and ramping while not killing yourself.

me wormell and anderson are going to mexico maine to hit a comp 2 ramp. We were going to copps place to hit the kicker but hes not home all this week and next. Just ask around if u are really into hitting one of these. All the ramps im gonna hit are within an hour or two of my house and urs too.

Nope havent hit a ramp on the new chassis. Pretty much jumped/ramped everything else relevant tho haha (nytro, rev, iqr, snopro, xp etc)

Good just want to make sure u have the right approach goin in.

I swear build the first section of the comp ramp(say up to half of it) and then when you have that down u can just build the rest of the comp ramp and connect the two sections. Atleast that way you end up with a useful full sized ramp when u need one!!

tcm, pm me and I'll hit you up with my number. We can get together and go up there sometime or whatever once I get whatever sled I'm getting. I don't personally know copp, but I filmed at both shows and know Dave ( the owner of rave x ) pretty well, so, you know.
