Ok........I plan to have a summer set up with turf. I will be using a HDPE covered rail and a HDPE covered box. The rail is 12 feet long and the box is 16-24. I will soap/ water the turf. In the winter I plan top plow up a big-ish table top with my tractor. How tall should my ramp be?

Also how does HDPE slide in the summer? Seems not slidy.
 
do you plan on hitting the jump from your drop in? cause that would need a way bigger drop in then just for your rails
 
They're both going to be 1.5 feet tall. Yes I wold use this drop in for the jump and the rails. So I need massive speed. So how tall should I make it?
 
maby build a multi-level drop in one at 8-10ft for your rail other like 15ft for the jump except a steper incline for the highest 5ft part.........but this would be tricky to build
 
my drop in is 5.5 feet tall and im gonna cut my rail down to 1 foot tall or 1.5 feet tall, so should i use turf or snow fence
 
ya thats a good idea because you dont want to hit a box dropping in from a 15 foot ramp. i think its possible to do what ioz said. in this thread,https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/167386/, they show you how to build a drop, where you can remove the ramp from the tower. to build what ioz said, you could build on big tower like 15 feet high with a platform at the top and another platform at like 7 feet. then you would need to build a ramp like 20 ft long and a latter that goes up the side. when you want to use the drop in for your jump, you would set the ramp up on 15ft platform and it would be pretty steep. then when you want to use it for the rail, you would set the ramp up at the 7 foot platform and it would have a mellow angle.
