i'm guessing you meant the bottom isn't flush? Cut a triangle prism and glue it to the bottom

yeah some kind of metal that is kinda bendable to lay down. or youve gotta go really fast to hit it.

use use a sheet of thin metal to screw to the bottom like at skateparks or if your metal work aint up to scratch then use a thin piece of wood

yeah alittle sheet metal is best..you can also get a hard rubber stair cover and cut the curve off..they work real nice.

or just lift your front wheels and take tyhe weight off the back ones, youll ride right over it.

But it would be easier to ride straight up it with the metal

no it be 10x harder, to do it your way you have to go out and find a piece of metal, and then put it over the ramp, my way, you just do it.
