So...
Im trying to figure out what gearing I will need to make it (harder) to crank.. But Able to have a higher top speed for some of the bigger gaps at the bike park. I think 28 -9?

Can anyone explain to me how the torque ratio works?

28-9 is doable. Here is a gear calculator that should help you out. Gear Calculator

ok sprocket / driver
so the bigger the sprocket is form the same driver the faster you will go
the smaller the driver for the same sprocket the the faster you will go
if both get bigger or smaller you will have the same ratio
The ratio is around 2.8 28-20 is 2.8....
the fastest ratio is 45/8 and the slowest 16/16 lol

Sweet! You're going to pedal a lot and not get very far... I still say go for it.
