Default Jumps

This just looks like some plywood supported by the things we use for the rostrum. Anyone know why we can't do this rather than the hideously inconsistant mat jumps we use now?

Good point,
I dont see why not
1: easier to set up/take down
2: more predictable
3: easier to marshal
4: we can have more at different points on the track



I 'like'

IMHO the main problem with jumps at YORCC are non-existent/too short/too soft downslopes to the 'features'.

Landing on mats and getting an inconsistent bounce, or flat onto the gym floor is for ****s.

Correct G.

So basically we just need to find out the max internal size of the trailer we would have available to store the ply in?

I haven't been to YORCC for a while, but I'm sure there used to only just be enough 'things we use for the rostrum' (benches) for the rostrum itself? If this is still the case, what would you use instead as a rostrum??
Ignore me if this has changed over the last year that I haven't been there

That's true Matt, but we don't have to use them on the jump - there are other things we could make use of.
Now bugger off back to Sheffied!!
