So if you look at the pictures you'll notice that my transition is pretty abrupt or atleast I think it is, not only this but everything seems pretty crammed together. This isnt the final product I just layed stuff out to get a visual of what I need to change. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make this better?

You might to consider building a frame for the transition so it's smoother. Also cut off the bell part of the pipe

For a temporary fix you could put a piece of 1/4 inch plywood underneath the lattice. That way it flexes into a nice transition.

with mine I just put that end at the lip, I'm usually not sliding the first foot or so, so the rail feels longer without having to have a big gap onto it from the lip

It's not even drilled in yet, I have to cut the bell off I'm not that stupid, damn, have some faith ns. But I ended up being able to fix it with some half inch plywood and it turned out a lot smooth than it was before I just need to drill it in place and add some support.

I'm digging the gap. Adds some extra difficulty and works your legs.

fixed it, extended the transition by 3 feet by bolting 2x4s to each side and then screwed some plywood on with a 2x4 under if for support and then moved down two rows of msnow

This setup could be tight. Notice how you added those 2 pieces of wood at the bottom of the drop to create some sort of a transition? Do that again with two pieces of wood that are slightly longer. This setup could be lookin good
