I’m new to ramps and jumping. I built this one a couple days ago and I’m afraid to get injured on it. Did I make it too steep to use? It’s 17” at the lip and I am on a regular mountain bike.

looks well built, but the transition is very steep. make it more mellow like this.

Thanks. Here's my first one that was not giving me enough air. I'll build one in between.

It's usable, but yes, quite steep. Similar to a small dirt jump at a BMX park.

Looking at this and it's worth noting that what's a "good" angle is going to depend a lot on where the ramp is placed -- if you put it at the end of a highly sloped driveway it's going to make the ramp seem less steep vs. the landing area than it would be if you were approaching it on flat ground.
