- Freshpark Ramps are really dang cool! I’ll admit, at first I was apprehensive about the price on these guys but the wood options just weren’t great. Also, where I am I can’t put ramps out without having the dogs mess with them, kids jump on them and wind up hurting themselves, and have that worry that some rattlesnake wants to make a den underneath. But Lastly it really came down to portability so I can film in places that don’t have great jumps with faster vehicles, use them for my Mini-B and Mini-T in the driveway, jump stuff in the street easily, and never worry that the elements are going to destroy them or blow them away. Gets windy up here in Hill Country!
I’ve been to some great yards with dirt ramps and some serious plywood and plexi builds but unfortunately that won’t work for my application. So let me tell you about some of the properties about these ramps that I really like.
First off they’re made of Powder-coated cold rolled welded steel with rubber feet making it super strong, durable, and portable. Which gotta be true because I just copied and pasted that. But what that means for us is that they’re quite element resistant and extremely durable. Actually the ramps you’re buying in their RC section are rated for BMX bikers. Take a look at some of the options they have. They’re pretty cool. Really close to buying the big jump but also like the idea of trying to flatten out this yard and make a tracker with a couple double rollers. You’ll see what I mean when you click on this link - freshpark.com/...
Now in the rare case some kid - yeah you! Has read this far, your wood ramp or plastic skateboard ramp is great! Don’t let anyone tell you different. Anything you can jump with is going to be excellent! But for some of us that are using multiple locations often or can’t store them outside this is the best option so far, and let me tell you, I researched a lot!
The biggest issue I came across with wood was just how banged up it got splintering me as I went. These can be bent and bent back, scratched and scraped or rusted and repainted, and are going to handle RC cars for a VERY VERY long time.
So? Any downsides? Yup. The first is they’re not light. I’m thinking you’d have to be 10 or older to march around with these guys. Next the legs don’t fold. Since these need to be sturdy for BMX or a motocross guy the bolts for the legs once fastened don’t allow for movement. Since I bought these for portability I’m just going to make a pin system to make the legs fold down. Won’t be hard.
All in all the day was a blast. Me and the boys had fun and that’s what RC is about!
Final note - I got these in October and they were sold out everywhere. I had to wait a good while to do this video so y’all could get your hands on them. I got mine on Amazon and they were literally the last two for at least 2 months. Also I called Freshpark and so far this is the only color these metal ones come in.

NOTE - I AM NOT ENDORSED BY ANY MANUFACTURER! I CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT! If I were to receive something from a company you’d still get an honest reaction. I love RC and hope to attract as many people to the hobby as I can. Wouldn’t be doing anyone any favors if I endorsed junk. (watch my Remoking Thunder or HPI King Crawler if ya want the proof!)

Cool ramps!! Those rigs go like bullets, they are small but packed a punch! 😊👍🏼
Awesome! Keep sending 'em 🚀🚀
Not tall enough for the big trucks
Oh, lol, they make them. They're just a grip! Actually check out the site there are other options but if you prop these up you're good. You can also put them on top of each other if you've got good aim and a nice run up. Check this and the rest out! freshpark.com/products/mega-launch-rc-jump

@Red Viking Hobbies RC don't mistake my previous chat, I'm not trying to bash on your video, it's a great video for the hobby. I just run 6s and 8s Kratons, and others I run with run Xmaxx's. It's just those ramps don't give the really big air that people come to want.
@Brad D Oh no, I agree. I've got The 8s Outcast, Xmaxx, Erevo, both Kaiju, Notorious, Dementor, Shogun, Mt8, Savage and Savage XL, Firetream...brother...I'm 200plus models deep. Probably 50 bashers. Just ordered the Machete 6s and Asuga. And have all the desert stuff too...UDR, Mohave, Rovan...but the next step up is definitely too tall and too expensive to buy 2. Be $1500 after tax and not very portable. And their quarter pipe is 175 lbs! So you'll see it in future videos because I just opened these (waited to do the video until they were back in stock, they were out for months end of last year( but we're going to take pvc pipe and paint it red and cut one side straight and the other at and angle to slip on the legs to increase the jump height. Keeps them light and will give us air. And stays portable. But even running an Outcast 8s and hitting these is more fun than just running full throttle on a field without jumps.
I also run smaller stuff like mini-b and t and the like and these are great for that.
But yeah. There's really no affordable portable option for larger rigs unless you jerry rig something or build something permanent.
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it because I honestly did forget to mention the other size ramos they made. So your comment gives folks those links to see if it works for them. Thanks!
@Red Viking Hobbies RC You should check out KC RC, they make foldable ramps, available in 3 sizes. Just a little expensive, but nice looking ramps
