Summer setup lube

wd40 wouldnt work very well, water and soap is your best option or just cop some msnow

WD-40 is a solvent so it's going to break down wax on your bases and the lattice itself over time. Try dry silicone spray.

water and dish soap is your best bet in my opinion

spit

use cum

Ky jelly

Get a 50 gallon drum of vaseline

semen obtained from the horse genus

I've found that saliva works best- just get some friends to help you spit all over the in run before ya'll use it

Herd the best lube comes from a goat

Man I was wondering how long it would take

True and make sure you spray from the top of your drop in otherwise you're just gonna get a puddle at the bottom which will slow you down. If you have any space under the bottom of your drop in, I'd definitely recommend drilling some holes so the water can drain and doesn't pool up.

Also mildly important: Keep the top of your drop in where you get your skis on wet!! If it's dry, your skis are going to be dry so then you drop in with dry skis and you lose out on some lubing until like half way down when the bases get wet. So keeping up there lubed will keep your skis lubed from the get-go and not only halfway down. It's not a shit ton of speed but if you need just a little more oomf, this could get you that.

I've also heard of setting your bindings back slightly if you have them at center because the friction holds your skis which a lot of people compensate for by not leaning so far into it. But obviously you still want your weight into it. So by setting them back you can get your body weight more into the drop in without going over the handle bars. So in theory you may actually have a bit more controlled momentum. I've never done this but it kind of makes sense? Maybe don't. I don't know.

If you need anything more than just water then you didn’t build your setup the right way.

I have just turf on mine, it’s about 10 feet tall and the dropin is a ladder style so it’s less friction, and the transition is super smooth. I also have a 20 foot rail and I can grease to the end of it with some speed.

not everyone has neighbours cool with seeing you 10ft off the ground behind a fence

Thanks man I'll definitely try these (except the bindings for now)!

I hate to be that guy but the ladder doesn't reduce friction on your skis. Friction force is based on your weight and a property of the surface youre on. If you reduce the area your standing on, your weight is higher on that spot since your weight isn't distributed so the friction force is the same as it would be if your weight was distributed across your skis and over a larger area.
But yes, you can absolutely build a ski setup that can be used dry and good point about the transition I feel like thats the most important part for keeping your speed
