My friend has this huge hill by his house and we like to build jumps and put up rails we have a real nice set up. A problem though is that we take turns bringing eachother on his fourwheeler and we cant ride down together. I feel kinda childish when I ask this but is there any places we could buy like a handle toe or something to take us up? If anyone knows where to buy one it would be so great.

or you could use the 4 wheeler. just lift the back off the ground and make the throttle stick so it spins the wheels. have a rope around one of the wheels or a pulley mounted to the axle or something and put anothe pulley at the opposite end of the rope.

All you need is an old lawn mower engine. Hook up a rope, find a good tree and with some messing around you got a rope tow. Im sure you can find a site that will help you with it.
