Freestyle Motocross Mobile Landing Ramp Build - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

BryanDowdy · 03-22-2011, 10:11 PM

Not sure where this belongs, so mods please move it if this is not the right area.

Figured some you guys would enjoy seeing this.

I run a small welding/fab shop. I rode freestyle motocross prior to opening my shop. So now I end up building quite a few things for freestyle riders. We have built multiple take-off ramps and one mobile landing before.

This current landing will be nothing like any before. It is being built for Kenny Bartram, his requirements for the landing are:

Setup Dimensions: 16' wide, 13.5' tall, 39' long
Tow Dimensions: 8.5' wide, 8.5' tall, 30' long
Under 11,000lbs including take-off & airbag
When folded down for towing, it will function as a enclosed trailer
1 person can setup on their own and not have to do anything other than push levers. So everything will be hydraulic.

I will keep updating with photos as the build moves along.

This is a sick build i look forward to seeing the finished product. I ride my self but not freestyle. Mainly trails and a little track.

Update-

We have all the wings hung. Next will be mounting all 14 hydraulic cylinders and building the side walls to fully enclose it.

Looking good

I happened upon Built to Shred this morn and saw the Metal Mulisha mobile landing ramp. Looked like quite a bit of labor to set it up so sounds like yours will be mo betta

BryanDowdy · 03-30-2011, 03:20 PM

Yeah this will be super easy/fast. In the past I have helped setup landings that took 3 guys 2-3 hrs to setup.

BryanDowdy · 06-13-2011, 09:11 PM

I finally got around to getting all the pictures uploaded. The landing is completed now, I'll try to get a video of it.

1. Really cool.
2. God help the man who comes up short.

BryanDowdy · 06-14-2011, 07:07 AM

Thanks.

It has a airbag that hangs off the back if you come up short.

That beats the hell out of running into a steel framework / trailer tounge / generator / hydraulic cylinders @ 60mph.

Here's a video of them setting it up and a video it being rode on.

JMAN3203 · 09-22-2011, 09:14 PM

That's pretty cool. He's coming here for Bikes, Blues, & BBQ, anyone else? So I guess he had that special built for the event?

No, it was built for all the shows they do year round.
