Nephew got plastic ramps for Christmas. As in, ramps for jumping off on a scooter / bike. What's wrong with brick and plywood? Seriously now.

Scooter wheels are very small, you'd struggle to use wood.

I used to use my uncles car ramps for bike jumps 🙂

Scooter wheels are not small relative to Skateboarding wheels of which regularly utilize the ol' brick n ply combo - Having said that there's loads wrong with ply n brick - no transition for starters and it falls down after a few hits .. I'd never buy a kid a prefabricated ramp though - sounds like the parents got no time plus it's just encouraging lack of resourcefulness on the part of scooter kid - DIY ramps all the way ...

I got my son some glass, batteries, circuitry, and wires.
It's a deconstructed iPad, yet the lazy git seemed disappointed...
