This season the Sitzwlionis Crew is going to be doing a lot of urban, but were having a little trouble finding a drop in ramp thats easy to carry around. Where could I get/buy one? or make my own?

That's actually a very good structure. I would replace the actual ramp with pvc tubes placed horizontally creating a ladder like ramp. It would slide super well, especially when you're using it for summer set ups.

yup. just get one section of old scaffolding and then put a ladder with either reinforced pvc pipe rungs or cover a ladder with a little turf. attach to top of scaffolding. done.

kind of hard to explain, but this summer we built a pretty sick drop in ramp. its two boxes, the top is a bit smaller and bolts onto the bottom box, it also fits into the bottom box for transport, and then the actual ramp with pvc spinning pipes comes off the top box
