If that does not get you stoked I don't know what will, perhaps flying down it in 90 degree weather into a phat river filled with commercial rafts!!!
Yotes were going to need to make sure the PA system makes it, I see a very significant portion of the Ball being spent at the Ramp with the Tunes A crankin!!!
Amazing work Adam - Keep it up!!! That is looking awesome!!!

It dispenses cold beer and makes you instantly more desirable to all women. This ramp is SICKKKKKKK! Its so gangster that Adam's employer (name withheld) was forced to take out a hazard policy after the visiting CEO's daughter was found foaming at the mouth, shaking uncontrollably and sputtering something unintelligible about raw ultimate power... She has since changed her name and moved to Wisconsin. This thing has to be handled with 10' poles and a leash at all times. Even Chuck Norris gives it a wide berth...

Damn brotha, that thing is ridiculous. The line will be long, but it will move quick on this thing. Way to hold it down for the PNW guys.

I got one with a nice crack in it. It's all yours if you want it. I'll even bring it by if I can watch the test launch. It's an old Riot Dominatrix.
Oh Yeah , and I have 4 stages of 3' Wide X 7' Long X 6' Tall scaffold. I think it is too narrow and unstable for what you want it for, but it is available if you need it.

WOW!!!!
when I ran into you guys at Home Depot, I had NO idea! Dream Big, they say...
That is looking really awesome, guys! Adam, way to put thrust behind the ramp construction-- I am inspired and Impressed.
The whole ramp thing is a bit too Evel Knievel for me, but it's obviously a proven crowd pleaser-way to go! I'll have front row seats for the action!
As far as pre-event installation, here's a suggestion that may make sense:
If, for example, 10 people show up to help assemble it the weekend before, It may be a good idea to try to organize the work in shifts.
It's likely gonna be hot and sunny working beside the river on that thing- maybe consider breaking the crew into two 5 person shifts or whatever makes sense: While one shift is working the other can be lapping the playrun, then they can come back and relieve the working shift, and take turns that way.
A little organization like that will keep the stoke level up, so that everyone gets to cool down in the water for a bit and no one feels like they are the ones stuck toiling in the hot sun while others (who'll reap the benifits later) boat all day.
