Thinking of building a pipe kicker, just wondering if anyone had any ideas about angle of the kicker, what sort of angle is good without being too steep??

we have worked out not to go much steeper than 20 degrees for kicker up ramps, unless its for cable. Anything steeper will be too hard to ride at 22-23 mph.

30 is alright if you hit it at 19mph. mine is 28 and i blew my kneee out trying to hit it at 25. at 19 people a trying frontflips and 360's so far without problems.
