i think he is talking about getting onto the rail. FAIL.

just go to your local ice rink with a pickup truck and load up!! or astroturf wiped down with dish soap works really well too

The perfect grip for those 630on-preztle-450outs.

Get indoor/outdoor carpet at a hardware store

you could make a DNA-esque roller drop in with a turf kicker.
maybe metal piping on the inside, PVC on the outside. 
it would work.

Ive found that indoor/outdoor green carpeting works better than traditional astroturf. The fibers are a tad shorter allowing more speed.

i know this is going to sound ridiculous but if u can balance and stabilise a long plank of woood and fine some liquid to reduce friction on top (detergent) its so much funn and heeps good practice!
