does anyone do this? i was planning on either making one out of wood or buying the scaffolding and then making a ramp to go with it. the one thing about scaffolding is that it comes with wheels. suggestions? comments? hate? recommendations?

I did. it worked well. I had two cubes but that was overkill for sure. Just a pain getting up there.

ya i should have added that im hoping to use it for street rails, i guess the concern is if the drop in area is over uneven ground...

we used it in my home town for a mountain bike jump demo, worked pretty good for that. thing is there are expernsive take time to set up and are quite large. I think you would be better off making your own ramp, but I guess it is worth a try.

if your going to use it for urban it may be a pain to break down and move to another rail. Plus, in general Scaffolding can be a pain in the ass to get on, and with ski boots it is worse.
