because you don't have enough speed going on to it. Make a bigger droppin or water the box (that works best)

Picks of your drop in would help but sounds like you need more water and soap haha :)

dude put water on it. It's not going to slide like the mountain because the conditions arn't even close to eachother. just get some water on it.

i start believing this as well, my hdpe box sucks when compared to my PVC one, altough when i cool it down and make it wet+soap it, it works a lot better...
my guess is HDPE just works better in winter/snow...
pvc works better in summer..

spray some pan grease on it, like cooking oil and then a bit of water but not alot, thats what i do with mine and i pick up speed on the box first hit after the grease
