Have you ever ridden a vert ramp before? If not, I would recommend not putting any vert on it, unless you build an extension.

[everett]

what do u mean by extension

[CMcMahon]

A section that is higher than the rest of the ramp.

EEE---------EEE

Like that. If the dotted line represents something that is 6 feet high, then the extension (E) would be, say, 7 feet high.

goto www.bmxtrix.com. they've got ramp plans for vert as well as minis. might help.

[BMXTRIX]

I would put at most about 2-6 inches of vert on any bike ramp. Bikers don't need a lot of vert. Mostly you want the ramp to be smooth.
