astroturf, or the orange construction fencing is supposed to work if you can get ahold of some, and if your desperate a tarp with water on it works kinda

yeah yours looks quality. I think I'm going to build one of these. Does anyone know if it is weird to have a street style take off coming from astroturf? Also, does anyone have like double kink ones or at least downs that I can take a look at?

i ride skateboards in the summer.  you can do it more places and you dont have to wear boots in hot weather. 

its much more comfortable.
