I have some thin plywood and a bunch of 2x4's. What I am planning to build is a 1 foot 3 inch high ramp with a curved transition.

I dont wanna mess up my first ramp so could people give me some details on about how long and wide I should make the ramp if the height is 1 foot 3 inches.

Thanx:D

The ramp skates very nicely but a lot of speed is needed. Other than that, Im quite happy. I believe it was a well spent 2 and 1/2 hours.

I will have to go measure it and get back to you because we just got lucky by taking a piece of plywood and seeing what looked good for transition and height. I should have a response tonight.
