i need help making a drop in for a few summer sesh's in my back yard. Plus i need ideas for winter drop in, when hitting up urban rails they have to be quick set up and take down drop-in for urban.

join the build a jib cult, lots of interesting threads there + browse the "summer" photos here on newschoolers, lots of different drop-ins to give you an idea

for winter "street" dropins, ive seen semi-portable ladder drop-ins, like 2 A-frame ladders next to eachother for a drop-in, im sure those pics are around here somewhere....

Just join the cult, theyll help

drop in ramps are not needed anymore! They cost a little bit to build, break down, and are hard to travel with. Check out the new bungie thing that is around now.... no problems with speed, 50 bucks, like a wakeboard rope so easy to bring all over the place. i forget the name but look for it

It's actually $150, but supposedly it works super well.

damn 150 is a little more but still very close and probbs still cheaper than a reliable drop ramp.. theres a sick video somewhere of some shredders putting it to use at rail gardens and looks real legit

i feel like with a little bit of experimenting you could make one for a lot cheaper. somebody ought to try it

I made myself a 6ft drop-in, and a 10ft box for just 65Euro, and i bought everything brandnew, New wood, new screwbolts, new carpet, new HDPE for the box, everything from the store....

So if you spend some time to just look around i think you can definately build one for just 20 dollar or something, or maybe even for free :D

just dare to be creative, dar to experiment, my next project is making a 8ft wide drop-in from the roof of the garden shed, one side to a box/rail and the other to a barrel jib, or something random, maybe garden table.... its gonna be awesome, i hope !
