I'm planning on making a drop in off a play structure in my backyard.  The platform is like 8-9 feet tall and the two rails will only be 14 inches high.  I am using pvc roller style for my drop in so will it give me TOO MUCH speed? thanks

MOst likely... if you have a long flat spot with turf then a good jump on it would be pretty sick cause you would have time to think and not have to worry about speed

sounds like a sick setup. how steep is ur drop in? and is a flat box or wat cause if u have too much speed, u could make an uprail. that would be nice

he's talking about a backyard setup so i assume he's not planning on trasporting...

it does sound really cool though. i hate only having a little time between ramp and jump. thats been the case with every backyard setup ive used so go for it and good luck. post pics when your done

its easier to scrub speed that get it so give yourself more speed than you will think youll need
