VIC 10 foot tree Drop.

[jakey_trickster]

This is my 10 foot tree drop project, it started on about the 30th of May. It's been a work in progress ever since. It hasn't been easy either, I've had a lot of help from my mate Goober, but the main problem is I'm mega scared of heights. I plan to build a dirt down ramp, it's not a huck to flat kind of thing. Now for some photos.

Before I started.

After I cut some branches back.

Once the ramp was up, sorry for the dark shots.

I accidentally set the tree on fire when I was burning the pile of wood along side it.

Update 6th July.
Down ramp.

The jump has been done although not all work has been finished.

Some film of the drop in action, will have some action shots up when I can be bothered.

Why do you assume it is going to be a huck to flat their isn't even a down ramp their yet.?
Looks like a solid effort mate.

Yeah, I said there will be a dirt down ramp.

Looks like a hell of a lot of work you did their, good job. I like the look of those jumps in the back ground aswell.

My only concern would have to the fact that you will lose all your speed before you hit the drop, leaving your nose to dip eventually leading to a catastrophic ass over bars situation!

Unless of course you have a nice little downhill run in towards it, could n't see one from the pics....
But hey, you have done a nice job there Jake, should look pretty decent once finished!

Cheers,
Ty.

It levels out at the top before the drop so you wont nose it.
Also there is a slight slope going into the ramp.

Looks alright, I laughed when i read that you caught the tree on fire

 

[nick_dales]

Looks Very Nice,
How strong is the branch that is supporting the pallets though?

 

[RiLiZe]

So you were harming a perfectly good tree for a pointless drop, thats on the flat, and your lighting fires? I hope its on private property so your stupidness doesn't affect others.

dude, he said he was going to build a downramp, and its in his backyard.

If its in his backyard then thats fine, but touching the tree wasn't needed for that drop.

If it had have been anywhere other than his back yard that would be a big no no.

 

[jakey_trickster]

Burn.

If you did read what i said "I accidentally set the tree on fire", I was burning the off cuts next to it and the wind changed, I didn't mean to burn it at all. But it's going to be ok, it only singed the bark, it's still as green as ever.

Also there is no other damage being done to the tree, nothing screwed into it at all, it's just sitting in the branch.

Thanks for the comments on it everyone. I am quite prowed to have it in my back yard. And anyone can feel free to come huck off it to flat on two conditions, you have an MTBA card and I can film it.

I will have the down ramp started as soon as I get our tractor back.

Will have new photos up then too.

Thanks, Jake.
