drew this for a different discussion, figured i'd post it here.... most people don't seem to talk about degrees of arc, but it seems pretty helpful. you could have a 6 foot tall ramp with 30 degrees for a long-distance sender... or 6 foot tall with 75 degrees for a trick booster....
So i've been toying with the idea of building a trick booter for the last couple off weeks. Its going to be used for dialing bigger tricks, backflips, tailwhips and what not. It will have a dirt landing. So far i've decided on a 60 degree lip, 4.2m radius making it 2.1m tall.
But i'm struggling with the plans and how much timber i will need. I could wing it and build it with no plans but i don't really want to waste money.
So does anyone have full plans around the same size as my one?

Those are good dimensions . . . although you may want to ask yourself do you really need it almost 7 feet tall? I would recommend 5 or 5'6" tall for normal jumping. If you're practicing for Crankworx then yeah, do 7.
As for the plans . . . . just wing it ! Once you understand the principles of what you're doing, you can use more or less lumber depending on how sturdy/strong you want it to be. You'll need thick (3/4") sheets of ply for the sides (the templates/transitions) and thinner sheets of ply (typically 1/2") for the riding surface. After that, it's just a load of 2X4's and 2X6's for cross bracing.
