Here is a video of a jump we made for bikes this summer.... http://youtube.com/watch?v=m6C3JUm-zSA

I wanna know if anyone knows material or a relatively cheap way to make this skiable in the summer. If you have any ideas and want to help us out and throw down let me know.

I don't think you'll have enough speed without a tow-in anyways. The jump also looks kinda narrow, but that might be the angle. How deep is the water where you land?

you'd have to build a massive drop in ramp.Buy a ton of outdoor carpet or something. Would cost lots of money.

thats great when the bike hits the water a second before you do, floats, and you go head first right into it?


he said its only 5-8 feet deeps its not like you need an oxygen tank and flippers to go diving for them.
