Summer setup

so im not really familiar with riding on turf or lattice and dont really know what the best summer setup would be, i was thinking of making mine similar to the one in the video because it looks like it didnt cost much and gives them a decent amount of speed but im not really sure if that is the best option. Also is it better to use turf on the whole thing or just on the take off and lattice on the rest?

Use lattice for alls down-parts of your ramp, but at the point where the transitions to flatparts begin just use turf, because u haven´t that much control on lattice, even it is fast! For the take-off i recommend use turf or m-snow if you have the money!

Keep your whole setup wet and use soap to get and keep speed on your setup!

Have fun!

Yes, just remember To not make the tranny too tight. Good luck on the setup man

Real solid advice so far. No lattice in the tranny or it become really difficult to keep your skis from sliding out. A box of soap flakes or dish soap and a hose will be your best friend!

Would the triangle design work for a set up like 8 feet tall? It seems like the one in the video is pretty low

Yea 6ft would be ok for a smaller sized setup. Mine is 10ft tall and it's pretty big in my opinion

Damn that's pretty nice but I feel building one that is completly off the ground takes a lot more work and money
