i know there have been other threads on this but not many were helpful. I have a pond and it is at the deepest part around 13 feet deep. I was wondering how to build a good ramp. I dont have a price range so anything is open. I need how steep the jump would be and how much speed would be needed.

do the math and the physics I say go talk to a teacher at skool they'd tell you exactly what you want to know if you give them an outline of what you want and the size of your pond and inrun

Just make an educated guess build a steep inrun and a decent size jump and prepare to drown in your pond
