Good protective gear and up-to-date health and life insurance.
Jumping is dangerous.....and scary.

Im sure you've all heard this before but the best way to hit a ramp is to make sure you have a nice clean run up with out too much chop. Use 3rd gear on your 125 just at the bottom of powerband. As you approach use nice smooth acceleration all the way up then just as your about to take off THROW BOTH HANDS OFF THE HANDLE BARS AND KICK ONE LEG OUT!!! then you should land it safely. 
Honestly, make sure your ramp is secured down to ground so it doesnt flip!

Start with the ramp close to the landing, then once you get comfortable landing that gap move the ramp 5ft repeat untill your happy with the size gap you have

What Long said, start with the ramp close to the landing and make sure your landing is almost as high as your launch.

I would want the landing to be bigger than the ramp... By a lot!

I'm guessing you already know this, but you need a downslope to land on. A 7.5 ft tall ramp landing on flat ground is going to hurt, alot.

I think if you have to ask, you're probably not ready. But make sure you post the footage online

You have to upload them to a photo hosting web site before you can link them to a post here.
