I got pretty sweet shot lined up, their is a bluff at Park that would make for a perfect landing. It looks straight out to downtown Cleveland in the east so a sunrise shoot would look tgr/ level 1 caliber. Only issue is the run-up is flat and my budget is $0. I can get plenty of free wood so I thought maybe building some rollers and pumping them like a mtb and skating as hard as you could might work. Has anyone tried this? Is there any way to get speed for a 4 to 6 kicker for pretty much no cash?

Haha. One of my friends has a snow mobile we were thinking about but there is no way of using it without going to jail. The spots in a public Park

Back in the day we favored the “get your buddies to slingshot you with your pokes” method.

Two dudes pulling hard as fuck and you whipping your arms like your life depended on it gets you at least more speed than skating.

I always thought you could put one of these between your legs and sit on it while you throttle it up and have it push you.

But would cost $$$. I recommend finding an investor to buy this and pay them back with money you make from the content produced using this thing to buggy you into never before done urban features.

It’s a gas-powered broom that rotates. For cleaning driveways and stuff like that.

It's completely flat . Picnic is probably going to be the best option at this point

how far from a road or parking lot is the hit? could you string a long ass rope to the rider and get a car whip?

if not it's gonna be tough. creating speed for a jump is really tough compared to (normal) rail speeds
