Replying to Building my setup help!

Celone:

alright so me and and my friends are building a 15 ft double barrel flat down rail and a 15 ft double maybe single barrel flat rail.  My friend definitely has enough room in his yard, so thats no problem, but we need help on building the dropin ramp, we live in reno so, i dont know if this helps or not, but it can get pretty hot in the summer like in the 100s. 

our flat down will probably be 2 ft high and then it will obviously get shorter on the down part
but its going to be 5 ft flat to 10 ft down.  and then our flat rail will be 1 ft off the ground. 
our ramp will be covered with astroturf and water and soap, so

how tall do you guys think our ramp should be?
and how tall should the jump on to the rails be for 270s on to the flat down, which is two feet high?
