Wanna Build A Ramp

[edzy]

hey guys
me and my mate just bought dhz's
and are goignt to make a ramp this week.
he lives on 100 acres and we have this massive mound of dirt , (used to be a landing for a 20ft fmx kicker) so its going to do the trick for a downie for us.
were probably gunna use wood.
will wood be good enough? like strenth?
how much do you rekon it will cost for materials?
i think were gunna make it about 6ft high (we want it to spring you up a fair bit) and about 6-8ft long and about 3-4ft wide.

any suggestions?

thanks

to put Ply on it, it will cost around $100 just for the surface. You could scab the support wood from a lot of places.

use plenty of centre supports and you could even use particle board to get the side curves right as long as you reinforce it
