yeah i had the same problem. what you have to do is use slats. way less friction because there is less surface area. look around at some other pics, im talking about the ones that look like a ladder.

Does using a single sheet of plywood slow you down? I'm about to add the structure to lay down the turf, but not sure whether to use slats, or a single sheet of plywood..

people say slats are faster but it takes way longer to build one with slats

Mine is a little to slow at times but my dad wont let me build a big drop in we don't really have a good spot for it without making the yard look stupid. It's currently a box with hinges so the main drop in folds out and then just a hill with pieces of wood with turf on it

actually exactly 6 feet tall. and to be honest, i ditched the ladder set up haha. i just threw some plywood over it and it works the same but is less sketchy. yours is looking sick though, how long is that rail?

yah, the first is small so I made another that allows me to get on urban from both sides without having to move the rail if that makes sense.

40 feet man! I built two rails last summer with my shitty makeshift dropin, and I made them higher than my liking, so i made two more that were lower so I could make the dropin lip lower. Now I have fourty feet of PVC to work with
