Skotty,

ahhhhh… english! (ok, Scottish=sort a english). Welcome to Sweden, at least you are used to the climate.

Last year up at Habo, Mattias (just look for the dude that is fashionably dressed, doing unhooked looping moves i don´t know the names of) has dragged a ramp and rail out that promptly drifted to the wayside and turned into an eyesore that only served the purpose of being rusty, dangerous junk.

Habo would be a great place, but there is a lot of lessons there in the high season. JP hålan is out of the way but harder to transport stuff there.

The big issues are:
1. permission at Habo- Stellan would be the guy to arrange this
2. at JP no ones gonna notice.
3. construction of good ramps and rail that will hold up: financing
4. installation.

I have not done any research into the construction of ramps, but if you look at wakeboard ramps, they are floating.

A good approach would be to make floating ramp and a fixed rail. By anchoring the ramp correctly you could get the ramp to always be in the correct wind position and height. A fixed rail is easier, but needs to be well made.

ANOTHER thought would be to have a kite-cross set-up, using inflatable obstacles. That could be use for racing……

På Svenska,

Finns det någon möjlighet att ha en Kitecrossbana någonstans?? Uppblåsbara hinder och några flaggor?

Gött med betong i habo redan köra slalom mellan ofta så grunt att man måste hoppa över sandbankar. Och trångt, så det är ju redan rena rama crossbanan
