I read a brilliant yet simple suggestion here last week: if there isn't
already a hole at the leading edge of the ramp, then drill one. 1/4'' or
so. Tie a bit of nylon rope or webbing or whatever through that hole and
lay it on the ground so the tire drives on the rope first. The ramp
ain't goin' nowhere once the tire pins the cord to the ground. Oh, it
may complain, but it's yours. Land that baby.
