there are design programs you can buy were you can make your own plans or if you know anyone that has the program would be even better. for 8 to 10 foot drop in your take off should be a pretty good sized one it depends on how high your rail or watever is and also how much room you have. hope this helped you out

I dont have plans for a drop in that size, or any size for that matter but its not that hard to plan out. Use X supports on 4 sides of your top platform and connect them to a flat piece of ply wood on the bottom. Thanuse a piece of plywood with 2x4's underneath for the actual in run, than leave space for some tranny and build your jump according to the size of your rail. If you have a 1.5 foot high rail. than your jump should be like 1 foottish from ground to lip

and yes the orange stuff is pretty slippery but i wouldnt advise using it in the summer, it gets really sticky. ITs good for the winter to put a small layer of snow on though.

the way i build mine is preaty simple, i found a skid/wood pallet, find a small one that is light wood because some are very heavy, then i put 4 legs one it, made braces in most coners and the rail around the back is just put on after
