you can use Plexi-glass, but is will scratch up and burr. They sometimes use something like a PVC sheet.

arberite (what they use on top of counters) works perfectley. the only problemo is that the $ is a little steep, but if you have some lying around, like my friends dad did, then go for it.

Skatelite is what you skate on in halfpipe and park, its grippy so that you can skate and accelerate easier without killing yourself, you don't slide all that well on it.

whistler/blackcomb uses puckboard for all their boxes and those slide so nicely, i'd suggest using that

Okay, my sister and brother and me built a box 2 weeks ago. We used lexan for the topsheet and it slides AMAZING!! It's hella expensive though, i think they paid $80 for a 3' x 6' sheet of it. But, your edges don't cut into it. The only time anyone every caught was when my friend hit it with his BRAND NEW never used mad trix. Once he dulled the edges out a little he was fine.

Go with lexan.

the high quality ski resorts dont use lexan because lexan will dent or chip. they use some material (i forget the name) but its like plexiglass. its called something like highly compressed something something. but its fucking expensive. and i know this because i met a guy who built the rails for some ski resorts in CO and thats what he said. but for personal use, your best bet is lexan
