Setup Advice?

So this probably isn't going to be a repost, I've got kind of an interesting situation with my setup. So basically my parents won't let me put a setup in our yard cause it's kind of small, but I had the idea of making sort of a "mobile" setup. I have a big tube, and just built a lip and covered it in turf. My plan is to bring the lip, tube, and other materials to a hill behind an elementary school and set up every weekend. Only problem is, I need a way to make a drop in with speed that I can put over bare grass and easily take home every weekend.

Lattice or construction fence are options, but would they work on bare grass? Also, can you use tarps with water/soap? Any input is wanted, thanks
 
Hmm well I am guessing since it's at school you won't have water just get m snow and you said you have a hill so just build really vertical ramp and you probley won't need the hill.... plan b just put turf on the hill and you said you have a lip so bring the rail and lip and have some turf off the hill leading to it and hope thats enough speed .

This all sounds like a pain in the ass tho my setup kills a lot of grass in my yard so the school could get suspicious but one of my homies has setup that he keeps in his garage and its really vertical and on a little hill and has a medium size rail not the biggest but works good for him i can send you pic of it if this idea interests you supper easy to move .

Good luck.
 
well, what i was initially thinking was that I could roll out turf or construction fence and stake it down on the grass so it wouldn't move. I really have no idea if I could get speed on that or not. I'd find a way to get some water and soap there though
 
You can literally put down construction fence. My friend did that last summer and it worked well.

can i see a pic of the hill ..?
 
Do you have any woods or secluded areas by your house? If so, then I'd recommend making a full time setup in there. Small temporary setups never turn out well.

Nah not really, I'm going to see how my current idea plays out then go from there if it doesn't work
 

In this guys edits, he has practically a "ladder" lying horizontally on the ground (just two long 2x4s with pvc rungs on top of grass), which leads to a small turf inrun and jump

Other than that first back swap, every other trick in that edit was ugly as hell.
 
so my initial idea of construction fence on bare grass wasn't even close to working. i don't think that its gonna work how i planned so only hope is convincing parents to let me build a real setup in the yard
 
If you are still looking for ideas my friend stapled turf onto small sections of plywood and then put the sections together on the hill to form a drop in. if this still isn't enough speed you could buy msnow and put them on the sections too.
