How to make a collapsible drop in?

I'm wanting to design a drop in that I can take wherever I need it, but it needs to be able to fit in a trunk. How could I go about doing that?

if that's not possible, then how do the pros do it? How is it they can carry a drop in wherever they need one?

I've been wondering the same thing so looking forward to some answers.
I've been thinking about building some sort of fold-able stairs  with rollers down one side, but not sure.

http://snowboarding.transworld.net/1000095158/how-to/how-to-build-a-drop-in-ramp/ i know there was a video that showed you how to do this somewhere, but its basically like this.

make a platform to go on top with 2x4 attached to plywood. then make the support section, but instead of putting in screws or nails on the pieces of wood connecting the front 2x4 to the back ones, use bolts and screws so its collapsible. then, just make a the drop in out of plywood and 2x4s and attach some metal hooks on the top so you can hang it from the front of your drop in.

Just remember if you're getting/making a bungee you need a bunch of room homies...

Well I'm always skiing with my brother anytime I'm hitting urban so a wingman to hold the bungee while it's loaded isn't an issue..

i think he means in-run room. like with a drop in you need like 15 ft before the jump, the bungee is more like 50ish, depending on the length of the bungee

No matter if it's urban or back jibbing.
