I just bought this stuff last week with some of my friends at home depot. Its pretty much fake plastic grass and when you put a little water on it it slides really nice. Make summer your bitch with it. Its cheap to.

accually the grass isnt really cheap but its the closest to snow.... its good to use the plastic grass for the take-off beocuse its got a bit of edge grip and the orange, plastic construction fencing for the drop in becouse its slick, water or no water

Yeah man, definitely join the Build-A-Jib 101 cult, they have everything you need to know.

But to answer your question, any indoor-outdoor carpet from Home Depot or Lowes works very nicely. Just put a little soap + water on it to make it slide more. Also, the more you slide over it the slicker it gets, so don't get discouraged if you don't have all the speed you need for the first couple runs - it gets better.
