i live in a flat part of michigan and i want to build a speed ramp and kicker in my back yard...

does anyone know where i could find cheap plans or a cheap way to do it? i want to make it at least 15 ft high but be able to store it in my attic in the summer, so i need to be able to disassemble it.

my garage roof is about 45 degrees and first floor and i might be able to use that as a starting point...

love to hear your ideas - i really want to do this but i dont have that much cashmoney

get someone on a bike or a car to tow you. otherwise just pile up snow, or prop a piece of plywood up against a fence, with a few 2x4s underneath to support it.

id say just have a little like 4 or 5 foot high drop in, and make a rail. you need quite a bit of speed to do anything off a kicker

I built a rail in my front yard because its either too flat or too steep & rocky to make a proper kicker. I havn't used the rail for more then a few hours yet though.
