Portable Tabletop Jump

I think we've all tried the car ramps and then put a board between them because they aren't wide enough. Most of us have seen the skateboard ramps and maybe tried two of them back to back or even used a board between them.....

But, that's a little two dimensional for me. I wanted something more but didn't want to leave something out in the yard all the time. I finally took the time to make what I wanted.

I grabbed a plastic hand truck that the package shelf unbolted from and replaced it with a 4'x4' 1/2" thick sheet of sheathing. I squared it up on the ground and ran wood screws right into the plastic rails of the truck.

The first two pieces are 30"x2' and 18"x2'. I mounted the larger sheet to the bottom and the short one to the top using flat hinges. Make sure that when you mount these that there is clearance so they can fold inward completely without hitting the other side.

Then I took two 2'x4' sections and mounted them to the sides of the board using hinges that allow for 1/2" thick recessed doors (they mount to the backside of a door normally) and mounted them to the frontside of the panels. When they close, they will allow for these sections to fold over the top of the previous ones and keep them in place.

Lastly, I measured the distance from the back of the wheels to the back of the 4'x4' sheet. I cut 4"x4" posts to length and screwed them to the upper section of the 4'x4' board.

It works pretty good because you can take the jump from any side and there are three different ramp angles. The only thing I may add is sections that flip out to cover the corners once I can figure out how to keep them attached but keeping the jump mobile still.

We had six trucks and that was enough.

Bounty Hunter, Grave Digger, Iron Outlaw, Scarlet Bandit, an F-150 Raptor and a stock truck, all Stampede chassis. That's more truck than the ramp could handle spacewise.

Buying everything will probably set you back $ 70. I already had the stuff sitting around.
