So I will be having a roughly 20ft dropin this winter. So far I'm thinking I will setup a 10ft rail, 10ft box, barrel jib, and a little jump. Anyone have any other ideas?

20 feet?!!!! wow...Little jump for sure.  Try making something at around 6-8' that you can drop from for rails because even from 8 feet you will be hauling some serious ass.  Make your rails at least 16 feet, mines 12 and I would love it to be longer.

i have a 12ft+ drop-in and i have 2 10 ft boxes behind eachother

everything works like charm!
i only use turf and a bit of soap n water...

if it snows i'm sure i can get a small kicker in or perhaps a small wallride or QP...

look at andreas hatveits backyard setup for inspiration...

that might be a bit overkill unless you're building a jump.

One of our drop ins is 6 feet and it's set up to a 25' long rail, and we have enough speed to clean it. 20' drop to a 10' rail you'll be hauling ass

Well it's pretty much finished now. Built it a ten foot tall drop-in on my 10ft tall deck. It's as tall as my house. Gonna be a lot of fun.

I also have a 20ft long large PVC tube, which I think I will raise up with snow to the height of my new rail for a 30ft total rail, which will be pretty decent for the speed. This is a vid of the tube. The dropin is still going down the same stairs, I just added a 10 ft drop in on the deck.

you should use tent stakes to stake the pvc into the ground so it doesnt move thats what I did.
