heres the revised i added a foot to the up and the down so the angle is about 24 degree incline instead of 30, its not that much but i dont want it to be really long or really low
Again the pic is perfectly to scale it the dimensions are accurate

if you're gunna build a trap rail/box, make sure its long. Theres a short one at my mtn and its really no fun at all. Its probly longer than what you have drawn up there too
