Drop In 3

I just built this yesterday and made different rungs for the ramp to sit on.  I used three, but you can make as many as you want and it'll be as steep or shallow as you want

just play it by ear. Kinda just eye it out and see how much pitch you want on it, and make sure there is a smooth transition to the ground. Honestly, I wish my setup was smaller, and I wish i made a smooth flatter tranny, that was part of the down tranny and not on the ground leading to the rail rather than an up-ramp so that I could get more speed and not get kicked back onto the rail.
