Post by: Gary72 on September 12, 2008, 11:07 PM

Whats the best angle to build a jump ramp, got a mini pallet from work with a solid ply top, going to make a ramp for my youngster, whats an ideal angle, was thinking about 30-35degree's :)

I set it up at 30 degrees and it looked way to steep, about  20-25 looks right

Yip.  30 degrees is steepish  (think jumpbox landing).  If you can mellow out the very beginning where it meets the floor it'll ride a little nicer and you'll be able to steepen it a bit more.
