Bike ramps+traction

[Crock360]

Today I built a huge ass launch ramp for my MTB. Would it be a good idea to apply a layer of some spray-on adheasive to the face of it, and toss some sand over it so I dont lose traction if it starts to rain?

 

[ATLskier]

sure, do it anyways cause it's not too hard to do.

 

[sneather]

ya that might be a good idea ... or u could just not hit it if it starts to rain

roof shingles and a nail gun. super cheap and easy

 

[CTD]

oh but yeah, i wouldnt, you wont need it.

 

[SkiMN]

not really needed. If you hit the thing straight on and dont try to make any major turns on the way up you should be ok.

 

[Crock360]

haha, well i'd like to think i'll be spinning off this at some point, but we'll see how it goes.

Just spray pop all over it. When it dries, it'll be sticky...

 

[pbandj]

traction won't be an issue, unless you plan on pedaling up it which would be just plain silly

 

[Crock360]

true. I wanted to make some dirt jumps but it's pretty much all ledge where I live, so it would have taken forever to get enough dirt, so I went with wood.

the gnarcore northshore riders use chicken fence.

 

[Crock360]

that's a good idea actually.

 

[SteezePatrol]

looks like you wont be riding anytime soon...hurtshin boy

 

[steevner]

chicken fence or any kind of wire mesh is the best
