i finally got my ass up and bought some turf for 15 dollars (all that u see in thee pic) and used stuff i already had for the rest (the drop in, about 2 and a half feet tall, the jump ramp, a regular xfactor, and the rail, 9ft)

eventually ill have stakes put hold down the furf on the ground with, a platform to stand on before i drop in, and pretty solid landing. I just put some water and soap on the turf and it worked pretty well.

looks fun but the rail is so low it will be hard to spin off

haha the potting mix was just there for me to step on so i could get ontop of the ramp cus im too short :)

and yeah the rail sucks but it wont be there for much longer it was, like i said, just for tests.

i finally got some materials for a double barrel PVC rail that should be nice. I know PVC isnt the best thing but its cheap and i can replace it easily.
