How much speed to you get from your drop in? I usually just set up an up down off box but I wanna try out something new this summer. I'm contemplating if rolling in on a longboard or a 4 wheel cart would work for gaining speed

Look into using conduit rather than pvc. My pvc kept braking and conduit wasnt much more. Just make sure that if youre going to weld it that you take all galvanization off.

Dude that setups sick as fuck. My favorite rail would be an elbow with a donkey dick.

That is mSnow, its pretty pricey. Turf is like $20 for a 15sq ft sheet.

Ya, unless u wanna pay 500$ I would get turf. But Msnow is better in the long run. It's much less work and is faster with more control.

A cool rail would be a C or S rail as a waterfall or with a drop in the middle

Just a heads up, they're having a contest to win some mSnow, you just gotta enter here:

You're supposed to guess the date of which a pile of snow will melt. Here's the latest update..



and for the rail, here's some edits with creative set ups that should give you some inspiration.

That would be dope, I would just need some help building it. And I don't know how to bend the pvc.

My drop in was around 500$ including wood and Msnow. But about 20% of the wood was just around my yard. But for just Msnow I would say mine was around 350-400$.

Ya, they just had a really cheap sale. If your going to buy Msnow I would buy it in the spring when they have their sale. You save about 100-150$.
