yesterday me and volklrider were skiing our box after we got some snow from the local ice rink. but, the topsheet we used (acrylic) cracked and rippled. (i guess this isnt the shit to use) =(
the box is still in tact, so were just gonan get a better topsheet.
so, i was just wondering what topsheet they use on real boxes in parks and stuff? you know that thick white stuff? yeha, what is that? lexan? help us out so we can ride this box when we want.
thanks.

ur topsheet was probably just to thin, get something thick and drill holes in it before adding screws if u screwed it down and i wouldnt sugest glue, it tends to expand and contract under certain temperatures which can crack and ripple ur topsheet

ski resorts use a very high pressure plexiglass dealy and it costs a crapload. lexan will do the job from what i hear but i havent been able to find it

we got some fairly cheap 1/2in plexy glass and screwed it in real good...make sure to sink the screws. and it works like a charm
