OMFG!!!! Just GOT to get one of those O.O I'm so green with envy :D but still I could build jib like that, if just my old man cooperates with me and gives me permission to destroy our home yard xD
Pretty sick.

Yeah, that's what is in my yard.
And it was built for just over a hundred dollars, so fairly cheap.
Plus it sounds like you've already built some stuff, so that would save you a little cash.

But you really should join the Build-A-Jib 101 Cult, that has a boatload of useful information in it.

def check out the build a jib101 cult.  For the friends my friends and i built we covered the run in with fake grass stuff.  you can get the fake grass at like home depot or something like that.  if you spray the grass with a hose and get it wet is slides pretty good and doesnt mess up your skis.  also if you get some snow from an ice skating rink or its winter you can just put some snow over the fake grass.

So the green grass stuff, is it just like a carpet you can put on the ramp?

yes. astro turf kinda grass. works well when wet with a tad bit of oap or some sort of thing like that. soap can mess with the skis ive heard, dont know for a fact, but it should work well enough when wet as it is.
