Well, the problem is that my setup is too fast .. I was building since last week and this morning there were about 5 cm so I ski for the first time this year and my life .. I is not had time to put the turf on it, do it slower with the turf only? Or faster or the same?

Because when I ski the tea setup .. (6.5 feet high, 22 feet down) .. I'm really going too fast and if I try the rail, 1 second after I finished .. (It measures 14 feet)

Sorry for the bad english, im french.. :$

Speed is good. You can always move your jump and rail a little bit further from the bottom of the drop in. It will give you more time to set up for your trick

Just move the rail out more, put less water on the takeoff or whatever you use. You could try lowering the drop in.

Just use less water or no water when you get it ready. It's a good problem to have.

Worst case, don't go from the top of your drop in.

Was there snow on it? When it snows and I want to use mine I have to get the snow off my setup. If I had more space I would be able to do something with more speed but, in my current situation, more speed slams you into a fence.

Build a bigger rail. I have a 21 foot rail and my drop in is 8 feet tall and about 20 feet long. It provides plenty of speed and works perfect. I used to have a 12 foot rail on the same drop in and it was way too fast
