I am in the process of creating two cool features that i believe will be the first of their kind! I am going to make a calculator which is able to calculate for far away the landing ramp will need to be from a jump depending on the angle of the ramp and speed of the run in or how fast you will need to go in order to clear a gap depending on the gap and angle of ramp as well as a calculator which will calculate similar statistics for drops. Unfortunately i am a bit strapped for time but watch out, they are coming!
I don't want to sound skeptical, but thats gonna be so hard to make its not funny. If it works, that would be stupidly awesome, but its gonna be hard to make it accurate.
Its all simple physics
But wouldn't you need to take things such as rider and bike weight, exact speed, windage, the Coriolis effect (that one was a joke) and other similar stuff into account?

Well as for the rider, it will assume they straight jump it with little or no skill.
As for weight, gravity works equally on all masses.
And as windage, well i couldn't be bothered to factor that in but most our jumps are in the bush where the trees block the wind
Unfortunatley i am still trying to find the time to do it...
Ok, i have done a beta version of the one that will calculate the distance you will jump by the speed and angle of the ramp. Here is the link
