Enjoy Edge founder Levi Sherwood sharing a bit about the history of FMX ramps! The next gen ramp design was born out of necessity. If FMX was to continue developing, something had to change!

A common mistake we make as riders is to blame ourselves for a lack of progress. Often times we get in our heads and overlook the simple things like ramp and bike setup, so next time you’re struggling to nail that new trick. Take a step back and assess your whole setup before continuing!

Expand mesh and sheet metal or just expanded mesh? A lot of ramps out there only use expanded mesh by itself. While it is cheaper, lighter and tows a lot better that a ramp that uses sheet metal as well as expanded mesh. It can cause handling issues for the rider.

Ramps with only expanded mesh, flex to much which effects the consistency of the ramp and more importantly the larger gauge mesh required to account for this will actually grab the knobleys and can pull the bike to the side if the foot pegs aren’t weighted evenly or the rider is carving for a whip.

Some times making the distance isn’t just about going faster, here is a short checklist of things to review that could be holding you back.

* Incorrect Bike Setup?
* Suspension Too Soft?
* Tire Pressures Too Low?
* Incorrect Gearing?
* Incorrect Ramp Setup?

The most common problems we see with home build ramps and even professional ramp builds are incorrect mesh placement, the mesh diamond is too big, the support structure of the ramp surface is too spaced out or the radius is too inconsistent.

They are all what seem like small mistakes but they each have a negative effect on the ramps performance.

Constant radius or US style super kickers? US style super kickers actually spin faster off the lip.. This is not an ideal situation for Double flip combos.

The constant radius super kicker spins slower off the lip which allows your body to maintain a central position of the take off which sets you up much better to do the combo.

If you are chasing more pop or are having trouble spinning flips. Instead of pushing the ramp back, or propping it up in place. Push the ramp in a couple feet and prop it up 6-12 inches.

This slows down your approach speed and allows you to power off the ramp better. It will pop you off the ramp smoother. It’s great for getting the front end high to initiate whips or to really get a flip spinning for a ruler flip

Tire pressure for FMX is more about rolling resistance than traction. Adjusting your tire pressure plus or minus 1-2 psi can help you carry a consistent entry speed into the ramp regardless of the run in surface and angle!

Common fmx language will always say you “pull” for a backflip. But this could not be further from the truth.

Pulling on the handlebars will have a recoil effect and will pull the bars into your stomach after you take off.

Instead, think of initiating the backflip as a weight transfer. Our arms are along for the ride, hanging tightly, but certainly not pulling, and we are shifting our body weight backwards.

Steering dampening is essential as you progress through FMX. Just like anything else...if something isn’t where you left it, it is hard to find. Well your handlebars are no different.

GPR stabilizers ensure that your handlebars are always where you left them, making the last minute return from tricks much easier to manage.
