Looks good! So when does the last vertical sections go on the ramp? But better get knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards first.
And did you run it thru the deflecto?

Got all the pads 
Deflecto: 2x4 on 8"centers - spanning 4' = L/912 only problem is I would need another layer of ply..currently only dbl layer 3/8" AC..prolly want 3 layers for tile. Dont think Ditra would work as the tile size would be too small to conform to the radius. Dont think I haven't considered it  If it was soft stone cut into 1x1 it could be set tight and epoxy grouted then ground smooth in place.

Just double check all those nails I've seen some crazy cuts from some people getting caught on a popped up nail head.

I used to ride ramps with my BMX bike when I raced BMX.
back then there wasn't a lot of tricks you could do so things got boring pretty quick.

... ditto ... except our driveway was sloped so the ramp was at the bottom of the hill. I think it was the summer of 76 when I first hit the vertical coping on my brother's ramp and hand-me-down Tony Alva skateboard.

I can't say I use to be a BMXer because I still ride.
Love busting 360 bunny hops out on the young kids in the neighborhood. I get respect from the new gen. 
Ramp looks enticing Trask.

Looks like you could use a 1/4 pipe to get up there pooky.
