Nice tip on the goggles Jeff. Would never thought of using one of those. Seems a lot better than the typical ones also.

Thanks for the kudos. Jump came out perfect. Nice job.

Circularsaw Pro Tip - make the blade depth shallow enough so that its just jutting through to the underneath (not heaps of blade showing below) and it will be smooth, easier to handle but more importantly ALOT easier on the motor and blade during the curve. If you use a Cordless one, it will thank you even more!

Great video boss. I’m building one of these bad boys. Just a tip for @2:51 ... if you want the ribs to be exactly the same dimensions, you might be able to stack/clamp them to together to cut all of them at once (since the plywood is relatively thin). As long as your circ saw can handle the thickness.

Well done, sir!

what are dims of the kicker besides 11.5 radius? What does it measure horizontally from front to lip, vertical height from ground edge to lip? Cheers.

Hi Jeff. Any chance you have a set of plans for that jump and landing?? thanks, -Dave

I gotta do this

looks good. Still much bigger that I am comfortable with. My "little" 2' tall one is still a bit big for me...lol. I'll bet yours is lighter though as mine is a bit overbuilt. 2X10 sides with leftover 3/4" thick oak flooring for decking....It will never break, I can guarantee that.

Awesome video and the rest in this series are great as well. Love the direction you have been taking your content in the last couple years. Question for you: At 5:22 when you are tracing the transition, what did you do with the plywood at the bottom of the video frame to keep it in place?

@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss

4 жыл бұрын

it was screwed to the 2x4 to make it a little longer then I put a screw through it at 5:18 that acts as a pivot point. On asphalt it bites in, if you were doing it on concrete or something you could put down another sheet of ply for it to poke into a little so it wont slide.

Dang! You put a lot of work into that. Very nice!!! Was that your dog running around?. That thing was cracking me up.

Line the corners up of all 3 sheets of plywood and screw together. Then cut both sides and the middle at the same time. Guarantees they are all the same. Get your measurements right though or you've messed up 3 sheets of plywood.

@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss

4 жыл бұрын

thetasigma590 you can definitely do that with the straight cuts but the radius cuts get sketchy with more than 2 sheets. I find it faster to just rip individual sheets than try to force it.

How much did you spend on this altogether?

Here's a pro tip: use a carpenter's pencil instead of a marker. They are cheaper, make better marks, and last waaaay longer than felt tip markers. I've been doing concrete for 12 years.

@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss

That's a good one! Thanks, I can imagine concrete being hell on a marker.

Why is you “only having your trail bike” bad news? Just curious. Also, did you double up the sheets of plywood on the jump? It looks like you did but wasn’t sure.

Did you outfit the van yourself or did you have a company do it?

Why do the "case pad" at a downward angle instead of flat? Is it motivation to not hit it?

@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss

IDK, my buddy had one like that and it seemed cool. It does artificially extend the deck though, meaning you can essentially be more "off" and not hit the back edge because it's lower. Make sense?

@jonathanlemire2797

4 жыл бұрын

That case pad is so sketchy. It may be ok on smaller jumps, but once you hit that jump at full speed, it becomes quite dangerous if you case. What i did on my backyard setup is i built a flat case platform with a 4-6' round transition ( angle of landing and size depending) and also do the same style transition at the bottom. That way, you still have a case pad, but if you do case, you won't blow a rim, tire, or get thrown over the bars. Otherwise, very nice build.
