Building a summer setup

I will build a summer setup for my high school diploma. It should be mobile, that means you can transport it to different places and build it up easily.
For making the plans, I will need information about the material, the length, the height, the tilt, the speed you need for the tube…
If you have such information, similar information about other ramps or constructions, or even plans for such a ramp, I would be glad if you could convey that to me. If you don't know anything, maybe you know someone else who could help me.

Thanks!

portable is gonna be tough but you want it as steep as you can and ive found that its easier if your lip doesnt go up at all but is flat or slightly downward facing. my setup is ghetto asf but it works. anything flat or up will make you lose speed really fast. turf with plastic lattice fencing and soap + water works for me but msnow is obviously ideal.

Are you asking the NS community to do your project for you? No shade. It's a strong move.

whats your budget? and how "portable" does it need to be? technically features at the resort are portable, but you need a cat to move it.

make it steeper than you think cuz you can always lose speed but it’s a lot harder to gain speed

Do you have a budget? And what tools / equipment / material do you have access to?

U could use jackson karsteters YouTube guide it’s really good. Maybe take notes from Seth bike hacks foldable kicker and formulate your own. The best way to figure it out is to do it. Just have a rough plan and make changes as needed.
