I have some old astro turf carpety green stuff, would that work for an in run to a rail? would i slide at all? i'm not gonna buy some of that expensive snowflex stuff. i'm planning on soaping it up. will i slide? just wondering if i should bother to take the time to ground it all and stuff.

If you fall on that stuff tho it might hurt..but i guess becuz its so stiff that u might be able to slide on it if its nice and wet and soapy.

i tried soap and water last summer, but the whole hopping onto the rail thing from the grass didnt work out to well, but otherwise with a little push i got some speed goin, the ice rink thing would be cool, but i dont got one of those

i am making a wood ramp in run thing, then i have a little jump thing for skating thats like a foot high, and my rail is only 16 inches tall. then only thing i need is to know how tall to make the ramp.

Ya that will definately work, use a starting ramp that helps you out a lot. I used one of those factor-x skating ramps and your skis slide good on that if its wet so you don't need to use carpet on it. And I made the most makeshift ramp ever for the rail jump. I put a small piece of plywood under the carpet propped up on a cinder block so that it is like a wedge. It works fine though

i was going to try that and it works i guess but i decided it had too much friction. MAybe you should try being towed by a bike? Instead, im just digging a foam pit and hitting a 4' jump on skates and using poles to throw stuff
trust me, the '' things aren't actually there

dont use wood and snow it will suck, astro turf on a big piece of plywood covered in snow works perfect for what i hit. We built the set up in two pieces, a piece for the inrun down the steps and then a small kicker.
