Can you just make sure that there are handles on the top of the ramp to hold on to, and something at the back to stop the board from falling off... i'm kind of scared of heights... :(
Other than that, the height and angle looks cool... reminds me of the ramps in latvia... :)

However once you get used to this, you adapt your technique to your board and you eventually stop losing traction... most o...

The organisers had jut finished making both ramps the morning of the competition. They had planned on doubling the sheets but ran out of time so there was only one sheet of plywood (5 or 6 mm).
If you were heavy enough they would go "crack" when you went down :) ... amusing until the ramp broke... :(
