If you keep outdoor capret(turf) wet and soapy then it rides.  If you have somthing underit instead of the natural ground such as a drop (wood) it will work alot better cuz it will help to keep the water and soap and also provide a flat even surface.

Snowgel from what I hear is like soapy water except u put it on once and it lasts like 3 days of sessioning!  just search it uhm

Backyardterrainpark.com   helps

as for rails  Build a jib 101  is a cult that has some plans

basicly wood and pvp pipe

Pvc pipe = cheap  =]

Astroturf is the stuff that is on football fields. Not the stuff that is used on dropin ramps.

If your at all like me, I live near a ice rink, and they dump all the shavings of the ice out every day. I go there during the summer, load up a friends truck bed with all the snow/ice I want, and go session any rails in the city, or hit my jib.

Definitely get some odd looks rocking skis in socal in the middle of summer.
