Cuz they see that the METAL ramps in FMX dont use it so they think its cool and just leave it exposed...When I built my ramp, I covered up them sides with 2 walls of plywood.

Re: built a 5ft kicker.. lmk what you think!

As someone with a structural background, I would probably make it a little wider, or at least put some stabalizers on it. If you hit that one side or another from the center, you may be in for one hell of a ride, and the landing probably wont be great.

Make sure you get the first trip off that on film, as you may not want to hit it again after that.

Good Luck!
