i just finished mine, i made mine 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide by 4 feet long. i made my "down" ramp 13 feet long and put slates on the down part. i made my tranny 8 feet long and its perfect. although i have WAY to much speed to hit my 15 foot rail.

If you have a problem with speed spray water on your astroturf, you go much faster.

try the orange safety fencing too, it is faster and cheaper, you can probably get it at a contraction site for free. my dad works construction so i got a shit ton for free. you get less grip if that makes since but it is definitely faster, and cheaper.



check out the build a jib cult as people said, there is so much good info in there.

And if you still have a problem with speed spray everything down with tire cleaner. No joke, that stuff works super wonders makes everything slick as fuck

you can use black magic tire spray and you spray it on the bottoms of your skis and spray water on the turf and you can go so much faster. its only like 5 bucks too
