Like drop-in? (Gets you speed to hit a rail)

...or a kicker? (Ramp that launches you onto the rail.)

well you can use a few things to make it. One method that a lot of people use is to use one of those X-Factor skateboarding kickers from walmart. theyre like 20-30$ and they work great. Theyre nice and wide and depending on the height of your rail will work fine. Your second option is to use wood. You get a nice piece of plywood to start with, i'd reccomend about 4 feet long and 3 feet wide. Than you just need to support it. just go out and buy a couple long 10 foot long 2x2's and you can basically go from there. you can use X supports under the ramp or just simple vertical supports. Hope this helps!
