I have a backyard setup but I can never get enough speed on it. Is there any way to get more speed without redoing the whole thing?

Have you tried using dish soap? That actually worked pretty well for me when I had a setup. Also, if you have snow at a nearby rink.

Yeah dish soap helps and so does having less flat area with turf bc that really slows you down. Also You could try pulling yourself into it from a post or something to get more speed

Ideas: Shorter flat. Make the drop in ramp steeper by cutting a foot or two off the end. Add little rubber pads to the top so you can use your poles to push. Add posts to the top to pull yourself in. Horizontal pvc pipes on the first half of the drop in. Soap.
