How to Make Drop In Ramp?

I made a post earlier last month talking about ways to improve skiing during the off-season… a few people recommended a drop in ramp. I was wondering if any of you guys had some blueprints from past ramps you built because I don’t want to go into this without a plan set in place… no budget but I don’t want it to be huge. Thanks!

I made this one
https://www.snowboarder.com/transworld-snowboarding-archive/how-to-build-a-drop-in-ramp

Because I thought it would be easier for my snowboard friends to use than an a-frame, but honestly, it was such a hassle to make.

Using wing nuts/large bolts at the joints is a good idea tho.

If I had to do it again, I would just make an a-frame lol

Whoops ignore my comment I didn't read your post carefully enough. That's like a portable drop-in for street, it sounds like you're trying to build a summer setup?

Built one a few years ago out of pallets and just eyeballed it. it worked great. sorry i cant find any pictures or anything. very loosely based off the dimension & angles from this but i didn't want to have to cut up the pallets TUTORIAL: How to build a summer setup - Build-A-Jib 101 - Newschoolers.com

Yes exactly, just trying to get in some extra practice before the season starts… I mean that’s good too I don’t see why that couldn’t work if you just slap a little ramp that goes up. Thanks!
