Looks good to me. Me and my friends just use a stool about a foot high, and we can hit our rail and its about 9 feet.

Ya it probably will be pretty fast but you could just take a couple pallets out and you should be golden

sick, you did a good job fixing it

should be fun and the speed looks good, as said before, you can always lower the height of the drop in

arrggghhh my set up fucking sucked dick! ill post a vid in a sec

i think everything is too high, the jump took away all the speed, and it just turned to shit. then we tried to just make a stall by putting the rail sideways next to the jump, but we snapped the pipes ahah! everything turned to shit!
what should i do? build a new jump (how do you make it as high but not loose speed?) or do i make the rail way smaller?

to be honest, its too high for summer shit. if i were you, i would save that til you get some fluffy white shit on the ground. maybe build one thats like 12-18 inches high. one more thing, if you are telling us about what legnth things are, eithe rpick meters or feet, dont mix

we dont really get the white fluff around the house much in nz... i think im going to take the bottoms apart and cut it down about 15cms, and then build a new jump

yeah i say definately cut down the rail to around a foot or two. also i dont know what the rest of your yard looks like, that spot looked pretty nice, but ive found it helps A LOT if your whole set up is on a slight hill. especially the rail

cuz if theres no flat than theres no spots where your loosing a lot of speed,

Looks like your best option is to chop the rail down to like 1foot high, and then make the jump way less steep.
