allright so I am almost done with my setup. I have a 4 foot high box (not to grind on)and I layed an 8 foot long board on it for the on ramp. well here, pictures are worth 1000 words.

what am I doing wrong? I read around here and it seems that a lot of people have 5 feet high, with an 8 foot onramp.

if it matters I have 186 scratch BC's.

thanks a lot

your ramp is not steep enough...so you will need the start box to be higher and a less of a harsh transition.

How long is your Box/Rail? If it isn't that long, I think your Drop-In is high enough. Just cut the 8 foot long bord so that its like 6 foot long. I thinnk it should work. ...and if you don't want to cut the bord just try it with another bord cos i'm not sure if it works (i don'T know how long your rail is) Hope that helped.

I could make it higher, probably wont be a problem, but then I still need to make the transition less harsh. How would I do that.

Do I need to get a bunch more wood, like get a board and nail it to the middle of the drop in, then nail a board to the middle of that or what?

any ideas on how to make the transition less harsh.

you don't need to make the tranny less harsh. if anything i would make it a little bit steeper. The way it is now fine for sure

I needed to make it a little less harsh. I got it working, but the fucking board broke. But I am getting another one tonight, there are some perfect ones about half a block away, gonna get them when its a little darker though, they have been sitting there for about a week, but better safe then sorry.
