Aluminum frame with a collapsing design (think a step ladder), with thin plywood mounted on top.

I cant think of anything else than aluminium. U could design it like a tent, or a chair ( the way they fold) . U could also make the ramp with the aluminium and making plastic strap all the way down it would be really lighter than a sheet of plywood and it would slide well i guess. i hope u understand what i wanted to say...

That or slingshot by your buddies are your best bets if you need to be able to run quick.

"Fuck it's the cops" said Salth McSkier, his heart pouding. Johnny had flashes of his Dad, disappointed with him after another run-in with the po-po...no this wouldn't happen again, not this time, he had shit to do on Friday! The solution came to him easily...he would RUN.
His body was cold but his legs were strong, built up after countless skiing days, this would be no match. After all, he only had to pack up his patented Ultra-lite Drop-in-O-matic, made of toothbrushes, gum, and human skin, and drive away.
Salth grabbed his planks and started to move, this would be a getaway to remember. Unhampered by his heavy ski boots, he strode like a thoroughbred up the stair set, not bothering to grab upon the perfect down-flat-down, the reason he was here in the first place. He made to the top in record time, noting after a quick check over his shoulder that the oinker-brigade had not even made a move since they arrived.

Dub-yah-tee-eff how did that prematurely submit! The end will never be known because I am too lazy to finish it now that it has been broken up.
