OK, so I know theres gonna be tons of these this summer, so I'll just start one of cause im curious. So what have you people used? I have a 1 foot high rail already made which will be perfect for it. I was thinking about making a 1/4 pipe of steep inrun, so what should I put as the surface. I need something that will slide...

well, i have sample kits from all kinds of synthetic lawn companies, the cheapest of the labled 'soft grass' is about 4 bucks per square foot, but my mom who was lookin to buy this shit said she found some nice stuff for 1.64 a square foot... beats the 115 per square meter for perma snow

ahahahah so ridiculious, because i was just dickin around, and i discovered that eveyrthing in perma-snow can be bought at hobby lobby, and ASTRO TURF SLIDES BETTER THAN IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.... and that perma snow shit was scrachin up my skis like a bitch, the only problem with the astro turf is that it lacks any form of cushioning

thats fuckin crazy, but does anybody know if regular carpet works as well as astroturf, because i live in detroit and we have the huge north american auto show, and the carpet place by us sells the carpet they use for their displays at 33 cents per square foot

Samck, apparently it doesnt work as well because it isn't synthetic, but if you hose it down and maybe put some carwash soap on it it'll slide decently. Personally I'm liking the indoor outdoor carpet idea... I also live next to the ocean, so I could make a water ramp, but that would be really damn hard to do.

QUESTION: Do you need a hard surface like wood planks under hte astroturf to make it work or will it work just laying it down on grass or something??
