I've seen them- true quality Yankee construction- should last at least 100 years.

30 angry inches.

Thanks Troy.

I just need to know how wide the ramps are so I can order a couple of tape switches?

Party on.

I should mention that although I do have the plans for the Miss ramps, these might be a little different.
I was thinking about making the "roll in" part a little less "roll in" and hopefully more user friendly toward those with not much transition experience.
Basically I was thinking of just a ramp with the top and bottom rounded off a little bit.
I like that idea and think that in addition to making them more beginner friendly it might also make them faster.
The ramps I've used in the past (Breckenridge, Athens, Miss) seemed to be to tight and short to get a real pump out of.
These will hopefully be more "pumpable", easier to use, and no longer than the Miss ramps.
So there.

Construction on the ramps has officially begun.

Just thought you should know.

Thank you.

Troy,
I just got back from a 6:00 -9:00 romp in the woods on a Morel March (got 4 bread bags!!) I also have a barn of mostly Chestnut that is in need of dissasembly!! I'll provide the Ramps(wild leek variety) and several Chestnut and oak true 2x's...Troy Bilt would be a true dedication to upholding our heritage!!!

Oh yea, I should mention this.
Bring the Avila's kids.
Knot holes.

In keeping with "Da Farm" theme I have decided to fashion the ramps out of old barnwood and chicken wire using only 18th century hand tools.
No nails, screws or glue.
The supports will be of hand hewn oak from an ancient tree I discovered on a recent mushroom hunting sojourn in my local woods.
I have begun to chop the mighty Oak down but with nothing but a sharp stone it might take me a while.
I also discovered a family of squirrels that call the Oak home.
I will of course have to befriend them and find them a new home first before I proceed any further.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
It has become, truly, a labor of love.

How about this nice piece of wood craftmanship ?

It's on www.cruisin.de , boards & etc.

Posted: **Fri Apr 30, 2004 3:48 pm**

those look like some good launch ramps.

Pre-Byrd Design Start Ramps

They work, faster than what has become accepted.

Posted: **Thu Apr 29, 2004 8:47 pm**

We can cnc cut the transitions and any other parts if necessary. Logos and engraving etc are also something we can do to spice em up

I've got this tiny trailer that we haul the COSS ramps on. It looks like the Klampets just came to town. We have to stack em tall cause the trailer is a wee little thing. So I have to disassemble this rubick's cube when I get it home so I can fit under the garage door. It's a lot of fun.

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 11:13 pm**

Will these things fit in my Dodge Quad Cab pickup. It has like a 2 foot bed.

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 11:09 pm**

Rumour has it that COSS is improving on the patented Byrd design start ramps with 2 x 6 construction. Contact Phil "Benedict Arnold" Plunket for details.

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 9:15 pm**

Ha! HAHA. I'm ahead of Wes E on something. Take that WEs Smarty pants!!!

Troy, I'll email you the plans. Let me know what its gonna take on my part. I can paypal you supply money right away.

I have some gear you might be keen on also.

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 9:13 pm**

I was hesitant to volunteer with all I've got on my plate right now, but since Troy stepped up,

I'LL HELP!

See you this weekend Troy???

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 8:24 pm**

Send me the plans or tell me where to get them.

I'll do it.

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 8:19 pm**

TK's way ahead of you on that one WesE. Let me know if the plans need clarifications in any way.

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 7:51 pm**

Start off by borrowing Ricky Byrd's ramp design plans. That way all the major east coast ramp-start races will have identical ramps.

Care to comment mr Smart?

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 2:51 pm**

Need someone in the east/north east who has enough wood skill to build a set of Start ramps like Rickys.\
Will pay Cash and Slalom gear to the guy who can do it. Email me @ mydogsmind@comcast.net
