OK so I made a summer setup a while ago with orange fencing. Sometimes wen I hit it its like my one ski goes in the opposite direction when I hit the tranny and it fucks me. This is annoying as hell ad keeps happening so I dont even use my setup anymore. On the takeoff to the rail I put some carpet under the fencing so I would be able to have some control. Does any one know why this keep happening and i bust ass? Ill post the link to the video +k

you have to be flat base on that shit. Use it at the top for speed then put only carpet with soap on the lip.

You can fix this in less than 20 minutes. By "flat base" I think he means you have to keep the bases of your skis flat on the orange fencing so your edges won't catch it. That's why you drop in fine but you get hung up at the end, because when you start to set your spin on the transition, your edges get hung up on the carpet. You can fix this in 10 minutes. take a carpet from your landing and put it on the lip of your drop in. Start it at the flat point of your drop so you have about 4 feet of carpet at the end to take off of. Put the carpet right over the orange fencing at the end. Staple or nail or whatever it on the edge of the carpet. Soak the carpet good and put dish soap or laundry detergent on it. You should be set. Your setup has potential so don't give up. I would like to see an edit after you fix it, like before and after.

Or just be really patient when you come off and don't start your spin on before you leave the fencing like you did in on your last hit in that vid.But fixing it will make it that much easier.

If you had any of that orange fencing left you could just put a couple more layers on the take-off at different angles. This would close the holes up so you wouldn't catch your edge.

Only use the orange fencing on the downhill part. Use turf with dishsoap and water for the takeoff so you can spin and won't catch your edge on the fencing.
