Have you tried switching the max map size in Entity?

The ramps they used are from Containment. Also if the map size is over the 80mb limit, you will want to change it's map type to single player. Then resign it and ftp it back to your xbox. Entity 1.6 can do this.

Failing to load the map can also be due to mistyping the map name, or forgetting to add it to your mainmenu.map. I have pushed a map over the 80 MB limit and not run into a failure to load, although the BSP Viewer would not view the map.

I don't remember where the option is in Entity to change the map size, but it's not hard to find. I think it's on the right side. Just click around.

The infamous machs used for making race tracks are the Containment gates, the delta control walkway (a long skinny platform from the brouhaha with Tartarus), and the delta temple bridge. Probably the easiest way to get them is just to extract the meta from a mod that uses them, rather than sifting through the SP maps to find them.

Please help yourself to the commas and periods.

Containment = Ramps.
80 map limit. Use Phoenix or Pheonix's Max Map size application, or use Entity 1.6 and click a menu on the right, then change the map size.

Good luck.
