yeah thats my water ramp, its 115ft long, slopes at 25 degrees and launches at about 25 degrees. Unfortuatly you need to weigh a little bit to hit it, richie (mullet_scum) is like 110 pounds and can do it but becca is like 90 and cant get enough speed. I'm 195 and I boost off pretty good. Enough to throw a 7 off

this is what smoothbequiren said, 'I orginally used carpet and it does work but unless you have 5 people constantly hauling water or a pump for continuous flow it wont work very good. I wound up getting about 30 feet of convaor belt rollers and covered the rest in some old astroturf-like stuff that the local ski hill happened to have. you have to keep that wet too but you just have to sprinkle a little water on the plastic to keep it wet.'
