Launch Ramp

A couple of years back i went through a Finger skateboard craze and made loads of really cool ramps and stuff.Until a couple of months ago they have been sitting in my attic when i realised they would make great mini-z ramps.
To make a basic ramp that will be sturdier than a crapy makeshift one first you will need a couple of decent cardboard boxes.The ideal size is the one shown in the pic but you can just use any ones you have lying around.Remember the bigger the box the bigger the air your Z will catch!
First cut off the top flaps and ONE side.You should have a box with no top or front. Now find a piece of thick card NOT cardboard because the card will bend smoother.cut the card so the width is as wide as the front opening to the box.Using a hot glue gun or any other strong glue stick the card to the front bottom edge of the box (where the front has been cut out).
Slightly curve the card into the box and glue to the top back edge.
Cut off the excess and you should have what looks like a vert ramp with sides! I advise you not to cut away the sides as they give the ramp its strength.
