Everytime I go down this ramp I almost die
is this normal or should I put some turf strips or something so I get more grip

Can you clarify when you say you almost die? You mean you like slide off to one side or something, or there’s not enough speed, or?

Replace that last section of lattice where the lip starts with Astro turf, if that’s nots enough buy more turf for under the in run. But I’d start just with the lip first

I’d imagine it would be less scary if you threw some turf there for grip but it could also mess up your speed

Yeah way too much lattice. You need something thatll help you grip you edges more. Id say turf or better yet msnow starting at the transition from down to flat.

Also can we get a pic of that rail?

Oh that Lattice does look deadly. Perhaps long thick turf under the lattice? I think it would especially help on the lip

I would replace all of that with some Msnow, a little expensive but well worth it
