Well, the problem is that my setup is too fast .. I was building since last week and this morning there were about 5 cm so I ski for the first time this year and my life .. I is not had time to put the turf on it, do it slower with the turf only? Or faster or the same?

Because when I ski the tea setup .. (6.5 feet high, 22 feet down of descent) .. I'm really going too fast and if I try the rail, 1 second after I finished .. (It measures 14 feet)

Sorry for the bad english, im french.. :$

thats a good problem to have. try either

not using soap and water if your using them

setting a bigger gap between jump and rail

crafting a higher jump and rail

lengthening the flat section


I get this problem whenever I have natural snow, any of those should work :) have fun

you can never have too much speed you should proly slather that shit with crisco in order to eeek out another half of a knot as your coming down...also wear spandex and and carry a rapier whenever you ski

turf it. turn will give you a good amount of speed and good control. you wont find it to be too fast and slippery

why can't you start lower ? use a rope to "rappel" in and start halfway....


or make a starting block to put halfway on your slope ....

Put Candle wax on the bottom of your skis maybe, or normal ski wax and don't scrape.

maybe make a longer flat section after the rail so you have time to slow down?
