I haven't read through this article but could be that you find the answer to your question in there.

it was Danny's idea. at least the version that's considered as the megaramp now.

If you look at the stuff he did around '97, he was already figuring out how to generate more speed to do higher airs. everybody was cheering because of the heli bomb-drop but his main focus was bigger airs (ridiculous roll-ins for more speed).

the set-up necessary to handle that amount of speed also is based on Danny's design (wider trucks and whatnotelse…).

can't believe it's 15 years already since the first images and videos of his megaramp stuff popped up!!!
