I'm useless at woodwork.

It would end up like some modern art wooden sculpture!!!

Very small that ramp. You'd bore of it very quickly indeed. Handrail/backrail is dangerous in that photo. Nowt too special about it overall.

4ft high, that looks like a well tight transition

It doesn't look super tight to me as it happens. If its 4ft high, then hopefully it has 8ft of flat bottom. If that is the case then it would ride like Roms wooden mini that is over by the clover bowl. So not so bad really for a back garden ramp, nice and quick.

But its way too narrow, presumably 12ft. You'd have to extend it at least another 4ft, and preferably more

it's only 8 ft wide. according to the specs... too small for a bike surely?

Correct. Pointless for a bike really. It would be more fun if you chopped it in half and put the two ends together making a 16ft wide mini 1/4 pipe. At least then you could practice grinds and manuals without pitching off the end immediately
