haha thanks guys, and really it wasnt to hard just hinges at the joints on the legs, and on the down ramp, and the the guy about the metal rop ins in the movies, i actually looked into seeing if it was doable to make one out of metal but i couldnt find the right stuff, but im sure if you could weld one then its doable.

how r u goin to get on top of it with out it fallin over or creatin a workout for yourself. plus i think its probably to short. i dont think five feets high enough to get enough speed for anything worth doin. im tryin atleast eight feet with the aluminum one im building. also adjustable...

I respect the hard work and everything, but it doesnt look that portable considering its in like nine pieces and has to be moved in an suv.  Im sure you couls still make it collapse into about 2-3 pieces, then it would be stellar.

yea i have supports, and no i cant make it off of the van cause its not my van, but i would, also you cant take the van to the front of the handrail and 5 feet is enough speed, 8's way to big, and it is pretty portable if you think about it, take the rectangle supports all at one and slide it in a van, then add the drop in part, you would only be able to fit 2 people in the van. also there will be a wood ladder goin up the back so it wont be to hard to get up.
