Dear Supertopians,
So there is a big push out in CO right now to get a great handicap ramp built at Jeff Lowe's home.
We're not talking a bush league rig like I'd build for my crazy uncle that we had to tie up in the garage when company was over.
This is the real thing, with treated lumber, de-icing/snow melt heating pads, no-skid tape. They're trying for a quality product.
I believe the price tag is over a thousand, with donated labor!
So anyone that can throw down a few clams through the Jeffrey G. Lowe Special Needs Trust would be greatly appreciated.
The Metanoia Site will take you to the Special Needs Trust.

I'm in! Can Jello get some "air" off the top end of the jump?
Or does it need to be a little steeper?

Good Job passing the word on to the Super Topians, survival!
There is a call out for volunteer labor of any skill level Fri., Sat., and Sun. so if you're local to the Boulder area, let me know and I can get you in touch with the coordinator of the effort. I know Brass Nuts will be there and other stalwart sorts.
I can't make it myself so I'm down for ducat$ to help Conner & Jello on this project.

Fritz, I think there are plans to get some jet packs built on Jeff's chair, so he can do wheelies and catch some sweet jumps!

I had no trouble. I waited for the Metanoia page to load, then clicked the paypal donate button in the Special Needs Trust area. Walked me right through it.

The Brass Nuts shift got things rolling on the Jello Ski Jump. Second shift reports today with work projected to finish on Sunday. Some heavy lifting yet to do. Volunteer help of all skill levels still needed and any contributions are very welcome. Any ski jumpers might get the virgin flight...

I built a bunch of ramps, wish I could be there to help.
Looks like you guys are doing a great job.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I heard his cousin Mel Lowe was going to come by and check the slope...
To make sure it was not too steep..

All ready for the arrival of a jolly fel-lowe.
Santa and the reindeer probably prefer wheelchair-rated ramps to chimneys, too.
