What should i put into a summer setup? I want to get good at rails and just 180s,360s,540s on a small jump. How should i make the rail and jump interchangeable? How long should a rail be? How big should my drop in be? Thanks for any tips and help

Ridiculous

forget the jump. Go with pvc and make a rail pretty low to the ground. 4in pvc is usually good for a single barrel or 1.5-2in for double barrel.

Yeah a jump will just be a waste of time.. Just make a drop in out of whatever you can get your hands on as long as you can get enough speed. And a 15-20 foot PVC pipe with a 5-10 inch diameter would work well.

8 foot rails and use PVC. I don't think u will be able to make the jump as a lip to the rail. and u must have a big hill or drop in for a jump to do 540s on.

Skip the jump. You'd need a huge drop in, a landing, some sort of decent surface.

If you could get your hands on some snoflex or dendex, one of those inflatable wedges from the carnival games like the ladder thing, and build a drop in around the 15' range you could get something going. Unless you go balls out and do something ridiculous to make it functional it just wouldn't be worth it.

With minimal $$$ you can build a pretty solid drop in and rail setup. Invest in miter saw drill and other goods, a bunch of 2x4s and just go to town.

drive around your town and pick up a ton of pallets, slap those bitches together in a ramp style manor. toss some indoor outdoor carpeting on it and bam got your self that drop in. now for the rails obviously pvc screwed to a 2x4 is the only way to go. make like 2 0f these at 5 foot lengths so you can have a 5 footer or a 10 footer and dont even bother with a jump in the summer.

2x4s are so cheap though. Unless you're poor and there's a place with a ton of pallets down the road I wouldn't even worry about it.

Also imo a 5' rail is a complete waste. Pvc and 2x4s are cheap to the point I'd much rather have a 10+ foot rail that's in one piece.

you won't be able to jump. Get like 10 foot rails pvc or metal. 10 ft is good because rails can be put together to make angles and what not.

You won't get enough speed off that for a decent sized jump, i'd definitely just stick with a rail.

Get some 270s on down and you'll find 3s and 5s easy.

Threads for when I get home on the weekend and can post the best setup you have ever seen. Definitely do not make a jump, its pretty unrealistic to do 540s on a setup. Focus on your rail and or box game, will definitely help.
