The skid you can see in this pic is the new improved one, the old one had a more gradual and rounded slope, this led us to getting beached trying to go up the step. After making this smaller fixed angle skid we were able to get up the step with little trouble.

PS. Both skids were made mostly out of Lexan and the new one even has a sheet oh 1/32" Lexan pulled tightly around it to protect the carpet from it's metal parts.
