So there is a quick sketch up of what I am trying to do. Could this work?


I would put turf or carpet on the drop-in covered with construction fence, and put carpet on transition and kicker .
Legs of the base are going to be metal , and on top of it i will put some pallets to gain more height.

So?

30 degrees is way too sharp for the lip, try 15 or so at a maximum. try to make it gradually get to 15 if you can. don't worry about not getting high enough for the rail, you'll have to easy with even a little pop,
but with a 30 degree lip you'll either:
a) lose all your speed or
b) you'll eat shit and die or
c) all of the above.

id say raise the whole lip off the ground instead of just building it on the ground. itll let you make higher rails or lower the rails to make 270s on easier

Height looks good. As far as the angles I'd just eyeball it.

Don't worry about the specific angle unless you're following the plands of somebody that build one that you liked.

Not that big a deal but I'd do your transition out or plywood so you can get a nice curve on the down to flat and base of the kicker.
