depending on how big your drop in is, or how much you are willling to spend. i made a drop in out of pvc and only the jump was made out of astro turf. the pvc slides a whole lot faster and it's easier to manage. and when it comes to the landing, it doesn't really matter what it's made out of. sometimes i even use a tarp with a little water and soap.

This if you just want one rail but it sounded like you wanted multiple features? its fucking impossible to carry speed on astroturf without poles and/or a pretty steep slope.

But anyways if you build a pvc drop in then you will only need like 6'x3' for the jump (maybe less) and like 6x8 for the landing

How are we supposed to know how big you want your setup to be... measure it yourself

I actually use the equation x^4+29=3y^(1/2)
X= # of rails
Y= # of astro turfs

So I would say about 6 astro turfs
