Motion in two Dimensions, the speed required to jump a motorbike?

A stint driver on a motorbike wishes to shoot of a 35degree incline and land on a platform 15m in the x direction and 2m high (above the top of the incline, its y displacement is 2m up). How fast must the motorcycle be moving if the stunt is to suceed?
