Well originally I only had the turf on the drop in, i covered the whole thing in snow fencing, but it kept ripping. So, recently I added PVC on the drop and only pu like 5 feet of snowfence on the flat part between the tranny and the jump. The speed is prime now

Less friction=more speed. So make a ladder type thing and put astro turf on that. And then have a platform to start on, for the ramp make a slanted wooden one and put astro turf with orange plastic fence ontop
