So i know this should be in the build 101 cult, but im trying to finish it today and i know ill get a quicker response here. Im building this set-up for summer and winter, whole thing is going to be turfed, and its going to have this nylon lattice stuff across the first few feet at the steepest part. each sheet of plywood is 2feet long, rail is 13 ft long and on a slight incline. Will i have enough speed as is? Any other suggestions would be appriciated. Thanks.

my guess is your going to want a longer drop in. i would say two more sheets of ply wood tall. more speed is always better. you wont have too much.

i guess im just curious bc i see some people w/ small dropins, as big as mine, w/ no plastic fence or anything, just turf (i.e. that summer edit brogan had a while ago) or i see people who just lay turf on a sloped grass hill and are fine.....then i see these kids w/ like 8-10 foot tall dropins w/ all sorts of fancy shit.
