Ihave the materials to build a wallride easily, but I'm stuck for a topsheet, wood is too sketchy I've tried it. I was thinking thinner HDPE, but I'm not sure how thin you could go. Any ideas?

if u go belo a 1/4" hdpe it gets pretty thin for countersinking screws. ud probly hav to epoxy it or somthin. i think maybe sheet metal would be the best topsheet but idk for sho. arnt most wall rides metal?

Go with a the 1/4 inch but make a vertical box instead that way you dont need so much.

^thats a sick box, but it would take too much skill that I dont have and it takes away some of the options on a wallride.
