looks sick wat u using on it (material) coz i dnt think the drop in will be steep or big enough for that jump but if it works thn tht be dope
it should work fine if you wet it. Would def recommend making the lip smaller, i.e. less tall, or extending the flat section.
Only way to really find out if it works is to test it. Years ago I built one that I had fall out from under me 4-5 times before I figured out a good fix. Trial and error.

mellow out the tranisition to the jump. The takeoff is a bit to steep you will find if the pictures do it justice. Once you have a more mellow tranny, you should be all set.

As others have pointed out, your tranny from flat to jump is bad. It it going to cause you problems when you ski in and, even if you get used to it, it will make it weird when you start hitting normal jumps.
Here's the deal. In the background of your photo you have a bunch of piles of dirt. Get rid of the jump part of your setup, and instead make it out of dirt. It is so much easier to change the jump if it is made out of dirt. Get the contour right, lay down some plastic and then your turf, and your set. If it isn't right, pull up the turf and plastic and take a rake to it again. It's not like that setup is going to be portable.
To anyone building a summer setup, I would say use dirt wherever possible. It won't rot or break, and it's easier to make changes. If you build out of wood and you don't like it, you basically have to tear it apart and start over. That's just extra time, money and hassle. Last time I checked, dirt is still cheaper than wood too.
