50 Ramps
Don't know how big you want, but you can get some sweet little hard plastic ones at Toys R Us that are sturdy as hell and easy to bring with you. They are maybe a foot tall, but you can come up with a way to make them taller with 2x4's or junk like that. They are made by factor x

**** those little plastic ones they're worthless. Just go down to a dirt lot and build some kickers like 6 feet high. Jumping a 50 isn't like jumping a BMX bike cuz you have an engine and full suspension so you can go like 10 times bigger. The skies the limit!
It's not that hard to build a ramp. I also ride some BMX and I built 2 ramps from scrap wood off a job site. The main focus in building a ramp is that it has to be 1. strong 2. smooth. All the supplies you need are good plywood (no less than 1/2"), 2x4's, wood screws, and tape measure and drill. It took me about 3hrs to build mine, not including time spent drawing up design. If you want a good place to start, just PM or email me and I'll send you my drawings and extra notes to build it.
I pmed you jimbo7pm me back as soon as possible. I used to have a 4 foot kicker but then it got wethered away and now i want to build another one but i cant use an electric saw like i did last time.
i just built one from these guys and it will put you up there.

I checked the ramp plans on fiveohmx.com and they're not too bad, it's got a smooth curve. But there is one major design flaw, it has no cross bracing. Smackin that ramp so many times will eventually cause the screws to loosen up because of the flexing back and forth. Vertically it's stressed in all the right places, but horizontally it'll do the twist on ya.
