First off /claim, but really do you guys have any suggestions about what we could fix? Oh and we had a rail but it broke

*TACO-DOG*fix the rail.

How tall should it be? Should it be even with the lip of the jump or higher?

the rail should be higher than the lip so you dont look awful and make it so it slopes down because in my experience, flat rails dont do well in summer setups.

What do you mean so you don't look awful? I agree it should be about 2-3 inches or so higher but it's not because you'll look bad. It's because you'll have way too much air...

Get the rail fixed and then your set up would be sickk

it looks more sick if the rail is higher than the kicker. If they are the same height it looks more like a beginner rail.

Make both, although it really depends on how much height you get from the lip.

Looks pretty sick could be a bit taller for more speed but I guess it depends on the length of the rail

Maybe add railing to the top platform. Overall it looks sick but walking around up there in ski boots maybe a bit sketchy.

You should go to a construction site and ask for a natural gas pipe or just take it, they slide really well and you don't need to prop them up at all.

"more sick" is not a consideration you should be taking for a setup. You're using it to learn new tricks, so why not make it easier to do so? I say unless you have a really poppy lip, make it around even with the lip, although adjustable would be the best so that you could have a down rail and flat rail without needing to build two.

Someone needs to post that badass 40ft tall summer/winter setup video. That was one hell of a setup.
