Posted: Jun 17, 2003 10:44 am Post subject: Kicker angle |
|
|
i want to build a kicker, but i don't know how the ramp should be.
should it just be straight, or should it have a curve like a half-pipe?
it's gonna be 5 or 6ft high, probably around 10ft long, but i'm not sure how wide it should be either.
should i just use plywood for the sliding surface?
thanx

45!!! damn thats big.
Try aiming for 20 degrees.
This one was a little too steep at the time, so it was dropped another 100mm

As for the kick, if you can have a curve at the top that is good.
This kicker was built to be a pontoon as well, so it can be folded down and used for floating a table or road barrier type of object. |

40 is way too steep you must hit that thing really slow. _________________ www.wake.com.au |
