Summer rail set up

[tomtheelf]

i made a summer rail but im having trouble getting speed for it. Its like a foot and a half tall and im dropping in off a slide onto some of the indoor outdoor carpet stuff but i'm going to slow to really jump and lock onto the rail.... and ideas on how to fix this?

Some types of plastic construction/gardening/snow fencing slide well. You wont have as much control though. If you put it down most of the drop in and have turf or carpet for the flat and jump it usually works decently.

yea fenceing works well with soap and water. try pumping more when you go down or maybe adding a little hight. my drop in is around 9ft and can get alot of speed.

make a real drop in

if its a slide that sort of looks like an "S" from the side.. like with a hump in it, you should be able to really pump comming off of it.. and there shouldnt be a problem

putting wood underneath the caper would help

keep the hose running down the slide the whole time
