it works better if its on a hard surface ex: wood.  Also just water it down alot, and soap.  Make sure the turf is like tight onto the ground

List of what to do to speed turf up
*More water
*different soap (brown/green soap works best imho, thats the gelly-stuff you mix with water)
*Older, run-down turf works bettr if hairs stand like this //////, ski this way ->
dont ski like this -> \\\\\\\\, ski with the direction of the run down hairs.
*orange fencing
*harder surface to put turf on (if its on grass, put a plate underneath it)
*Clean turf, sand particles make turf significantly slower, do everything to keep sand away from turf

different solutions to gain more speed:
Make higher tower
Push with your poles
use grab-handles to start from
Mellow every transition
etc...

(hope this helps)

if you tack down the turf onto a hard surface, such a wood, and keep it taught then you go faster
