Planning on building a wooden portable kicker w/ dtg tomorrow, and was just wondering about the curve of it, should it be a constant radius up the entire ramp or have a progressively smaller radius (gets steeper) throughout the ramp surface? It would seem that a progressive radiused ramp might be more inclined to throw you off balance or buck you because of the change, whereas a constant radius would be smoother and more predictable. Input?

Most of the dirt jumps I've made or helped make don't have a constant radius...if that helps any.
