Trying to make a huge summer setup
So I wanted to make a summer setup so I can still practice when there's no snow on the ground. Since I have a lot of land my friends said they'd all pitch in and help and since we can weld and are good with power tools, we all agreed that we can make something way better than just a simple turf drop in so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
what about a kicker with a rail jutting out from the lip, that'd be p sick

That's dope we're thinking about trying to make an actual kicker but I'm still trying to draw that up
Make a massive drop in, cover it in m snow, and add down rails as well as other rails so you can hit a whole line at a time
If you have the money, definitely get msnow: http://www.m-snow.com/msnoworange.html
Make the setup really wide, you won't regret it. For reference, here are some of the dimensions to my setup:
Top platform height: 64in
Ground to highest part of lip: 18in
Run in:4ft wide
Flat part (in between the two transitions): 7ft
Rail:10ft long

Make an s or c rail into a waterfall, banana rail back to back.
rope tow is a must
Just get creative with the rails and go crazy

For the kicker?
Gonna hurt the bank
J_SIf you have the money, definitely get msnow
If you fall on that it will probably slice you open. Only reason why I don't like it

So you don't have to hike back up

Its fine, that's why I put turf in the landing instead. Other than that, I've only fell on it once because I was trying to drop in switch.
Here's a tip if you're gonna use mSnow: use mWax + water on your skis and rails, makes you go crazy fast.
mSnow is definitely worth the money btw, so much better than having to use soap and water on turf. I would still use turf for your landing tho cuz mSnow hurts to fall on.

Honestly lay down turf first and see if its fast enough. You don't need to turn to Msnow right away. Ive seen people with drop ins with snow that they don't even need or really get much advantage from. Make sure it actually helps instead of just turning right to it.

Get a sprinkler system. I airbag in the summer and we get what is known as "meanie burn" which is when it melts and gets stuck to your skis, eating away at you bases. It will help. A lot.
Setup a very wide turf down a hill and make a few rail lines
Rails: Straight down
Flat
dfd?
waterfall
c-rail
rainbow?

Drop in needs to be as large as humanly possible for speed. TRUST ME. Check out my setup in my profile. The drop in is huge compared to most setups I see but I wish I'd have made it 2x as tall. It's all about speed

Did you actually build a kicker with an airbag or is it at like a camp you went to?

So how tall would you recommend?
Make it to sided, one side a 4 rai line, down tube, cannon, s, dfd. Then on the other side make a 2 jump line
All times are Eastern (-4)
