I'm guessing the tube lessens the impact harshness vs. a sled?Yes, most definitely. The first time I tried it, I did use plastic saucers and it was ok, I just didn't go as fast and high and with less height and speed, it was ok. But the tubes are far superior for jumping. It is much less of an impact and they get some speed.Quote from: jcassity;428444that sure is a boy to get airborne!!I usually landed just in front of where the slope levels out but the speed coupled with the slickness of the surfaces were too much for dragging my feet and hands to overcome before launching out into the water. Not only was the height achieved pretty good, the distance covered from the ramps to the LZ in the air was pretty crazy. Quote Selected
Using car ramps in snow Reply #12 – February 09, 2014, 10:41:02 PM I wonder if more air (ie almost overfull) in the tube would make it fly further? With all the snow sitting around you might as well experiment and see what gets you the most air :). The snow has to be good for something. Quote Selected
