    1-2' out of the ramp. Not big enough to get speed really. There are a few different things that influence how high you can ollie/air on any transition. I can ollie 3' from flat though.

    that sounds high to me Missionsix

    can you hand plant on that sized ramp?

    I did a bit in the late 70s , Kryptonite wheels or Bones where popular then
    maybe not names they used stateside so might mean nothing to anyone but me?

    Handplant? Sure. Formidable? No, lol. A handplant is more like doing an air and touching the coping. My ramp would require all muscle, but could be done. Wouldn't be pretty though.
    Kryptonites and bones were definitely here ;D

    I prefer street too. Central Oregon sucks for skating street. I'm planning a trip to Portland (the big city) in a couple of weeks. I can poach some parking garages ;D
