I'm Looking to make a summer setup, something pretty basic, a drop-in,a jump and a rail or box,

I can make all that stuff fairly easily but I wanna know what I should put on top of it, I've read about a bunch that use astro turf and I also was reading about this stuff called SkiTrax that looks pretty sweet, anyone know how much skitrax cost?

I'm pretty much just looking to go the cheapest route and still have an effective setup.

any advice would be great.

Thanks.

but for real i have a summer setup and love it, astro turf is the cheapest way, but you gotta keep it wet and soapy or it doesnt work too well. but yeah astroturf is the main way to go without losing bank

use lattice, it's a lot faster than turf and you dont have to put soap on it, just water. it's what i use

if you put pvc horizontal across it its wayy faster than turf i covered my drop in with about 40 bucks worth of it but i could have easily done it with 20 bucks worth the only problem is its not maneuverable at all so you still need turf on the bottom
