there is some snow and i dicided to make a box. i got everything but dont know which material i should use as top sheet. My budget is about 30 euro and the box is 9 feet long. Also i need a run in and since i dont have to much space and the terrain is totally flat the inrun cant be so big. I was thinkng about 6 feet by 1.6 feet and 3 feet hight which material should i use for thee inrun?

I forget what it's called, but it's recycled deck board.  Shit slides pretty decent and it's fairly inexpensive if you can find it.

its kind of complicatedd but i used like plexi glass and two pvc pipes for the rails next to them in place of metal like they have at the mtns... You just have to make sure that you get them even so its not super sketch

use a few small diamater PVC pipes for the top. You should be able to find answers to all your questions in the Build a jib cult

Go to the next sports center or stadium and ask if they have any old advertisement signs made out of plastic. If they have you ask if you can have it, if so, you have a free excellent box-material.
