I'm planning on changing my 9ft vert to an 11fter so it's similar to a real ramp. with a ft and a half of vert.
but the problem is space, if i had 11.6ft of flatbottom would it be to tight to ride and hit back to back airs and tricks on, or would it be fine.
I'd like to hear some opinions b4 i go and do the updates
11ft high
24ft wide
9.5ft transition
1.6ft of vert
2.3ft decks
11.6ft of flatbottom |

| Sounds pretty tight. It will seem fast at first but I'm sure its just a matter of getting used to it. Have you done it yet? Pics? |

Yeah, it's fast as hell with 12.
Anything beyond that was considered to much by the guy that built it though.
We skated it.
Never a problem keeping speed.
Big and fast.
You'll love it. |

| I had the same ramp with 12ft. of flat. Its fine, not a big deal. I think that having a ramp with less flat helped me to deal with tighter bowls. |
