Speed issue

[.SteezusChrist.]

i have a steep inrun, nice tranny, and a jump about 1-2 feet tall, and i lose speed before the rail. how do i get the turf to slide faster? i have used soap and it doesnt seem to help

just go to dollarama and grab some shampoo. pour it down and wet it down a bit. works great and it leaves a great scent on your skis too. or the pink bubble bath works good.

if you dont care about killing your grass shampoo slides nice

Through my backyard experience I have come to realize that TIDE works the best. Not the liquid but the powder. Using the nicely supplied green holder of powder (don't remember what its called) you can apply a significant amount of powder to the entire inrun and down ramp which should allow for plenty of speed. How long is the flat before the rail? IF you think that is the issue reduce the length of that!

do you have wood under the turf...that might help
