How to slow down your summer setup in the winter???????

My drop in speed was perfect in the summer, but now with snow and ice it is just way too fast. I tried slowing it down by removing the orange fencing, but its still ridiculously fast. I wouldnt mind the speed, but i have a pretty small yard and my rails are only like 15-20ft. I barely have enough time for switchups/2s out now and its also super sketchy jumping on because i have a really aggressive lip and it makes me gap like half of the first rail. Any idea on how i could slow it down? (pic below)

Maybe throw some old carpet on the drop part. Adjust it so that it's only down as far as you need. Throw it in the garage if you have one or somewhere to melt any ice after.


IDk. That's the only thing I can really think of other than old side stepping half way up, making it an up rail, or adding a roller or longer flat to wedge but you were saying you don't have any room.

i think i might just take the rails and make a small snow jib beside it, i tried old carpet and it didnt really work, it slowed you down a bit, but not a lot. thanks guys!

I don't know what you guys are talking about, I fucking love setups in the winter.

Sometimes I have more fun in my backyard than my local hill's shitty park.

I have one rail I put at my grandma's house and I had more fun there than at my resort's pathetic park.

Lol, last time I went to my hill the park was closed so I went home and setup my own rail park with a line of 7 hits, it was soo awesome. I could take one of the lower button lifts from my park as well, so sick. Winter setups are so awesome, I had 2 little kickers for 3s and 1s and stuff, and then 5 pvc tube jibs, which were a double shotgun followed by a bunch of singles.
