astroturf+water+shampoo or soap. i wouldnt use a dirt mound with a small slope. build a drop in. it will work 10 times better

i have already built some rails and a drop in at my friends house but i want one at mine. i now it will be bad on dirt but i will put plastic over the dirt so the dirt doesnt get wet. i just want something that would be very cheap to put down to ski into the rail.

orange fencing would be the cheapest, but probably not the best material if u plan on keeping your setup for a long time

Put down some plywood on the dirt, you can find some at a construction site easily. Check out the pictures on my profile, I have a little hill and lay plywood on it, it work great.

if ya use orange fencing, be sure to attach it properly!

i have a rather big setup thats almost 13ft tall, caught the fencing around my tip, tumbled forward and fell off into some bushes :D

luckily i had nothing, if i had fell off the other side i'd landed on concrete and probably fuck my shit up....
:D

so be safe !

Is soaped turf or fencing faster? I also knowof some kids that used that white plastic lattice stuff, is that faster than than them all being that it's almost like box surface material... ?

I've never used plastic lattice, but fencing is so much faster than soaped turf. On plastic fencing, you have no control though. Put plastic fencing on the inrun and then turf on the kicker so you have some control.
