Can someone give me a parts list and instructions on how to build a drop in for urban? I want a metal one, where it looks like a ladder, im sure most of you know what i mean, but if not ill post a video. Thanks, +k for help.
I looked through build a jib, couldnt find it, and also i feel like people dont go into build a jib to help

Well it all depends on the size of the drop in but get plywood and 2x4's (or just get a Banshee Bungee)

i would much rather use a drop in than a bungee. you need like 4 people to pull them back and they're scary as hell to use in tight spaces.

yessir! we picked up some scaffolding from a former newschooler. For the down ramp you use a metal ladder type thing that is a part of the scaffolding covered with orange construction fencing. Plenty of speed and pretty damn easy to make. While it is real heavy, it is also portable because you can take apart the scaffolding compared to wood where it is harder to transport

I have been trying to make something like this, I want to take a ladder and cut off the rungs then take metal pipes with p.v.c. tubing over and weld it into the ladder to create a roller type thing and build a bigger platform on top to clip in on.

yep, a scaffolding is the best imho ...

some friends of mine ride quite a lot of urban and they picked up a second hand mobile scaffolding like this one:

then they cut off the wheels so it would be stable and made a slope/drop-in for it , the thing works great and can be broken down into pieces that fit inside a normal car ....
