yea I have reinforced ribs under the plywood and the plywood is 3/4 of and inch and there is also a frame on the back side of the plywood. The poles are cemented into the ground. It is incredibly stable but also has just enough flex

Ok so the top is about 33 by 48 inches and the bottom is 80 by 50 inches. The sides are angled out (as well as the ladder up), so it is very sturdy. The ramp is 2 ft wide and 10 ft long, with carpet on it. And we used liquid nails with screws, so its rock hard. Hope that helps. I'll probably take some better picks later

just screws into the bottom from the bottom of a 2x6. The more screws, the more stable.
And yeah, I took out the panel on the railing so I could get on to the platform I made.
It actually provides quite a bit of speed.

 what would be the best way to build a portable ramp, about the size to fit in the bed of a pickup truck? would a drop in of this size be large enough to get decent enough speed to hit many rails, or would it be too small?
