I just built this yesterday and made different rungs for the ramp to sit on. I used three, but you can make as many as you want and it'll be as steep or shallow as you want
 
^ lol my bad. Definitly took a second look and realized it isnt that tall :P

but its still pretty tall.

Mine is only 1 foot.
 
just play it by ear. Kinda just eye it out and see how much pitch you want on it, and make sure there is a smooth transition to the ground. Honestly, I wish my setup was smaller, and I wish i made a smooth flatter tranny, that was part of the down tranny and not on the ground leading to the rail rather than an up-ramp so that I could get more speed and not get kicked back onto the rail.
 
hey man i have two questions about your ramp. is the sloping ramp part 8 feet long? and is 6 feet high enough for 270s on pretty easy?
