I've been having speed issues with my jib setup. I've switched from lattice to horizontal PVC for the drop in, but still have issues getting enough speed. I'm thinking about buying msnow but I don't want to waste my money if it's not gonna fix the problem. Has anyone switched from turf to m-snow, and does it work? I would post in the build a jib cult but no one looks there anymore. Thanks

Ehhh. This would take more time and money because everything on my set-up is screwed together. The drop-in is screwed and custom cut at an angle to fit perfectly for the height of my tower thing

Are you sure the speed problems are with your drop in, and not the rail itself? Because the fixing the rail is a lot easier than changing the whole drop in. Plus sometimes, old pvc and whatnot doesn't slide as well.

Nah it's definitely the drop in. You can tell the speed I have coming into the rail isn't enough and I do wax and wet the rails

spent a year with turf and lattice on my ramp. After a summer on msnow, I'd never go back.

It's worth the money. Especially if you get it on sale.

Speed, and the ability to carve is the #1 selling points for mSnow. It is very fast, and will usually solve any speed issue you might have. It is very fast.

a smooth transition without any sharp sudden curves is the biggest thing for speed problems. when your skis are flexing a lot along the transition area a lot of energy can go to waste
