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.

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...
