I have looked on the search bar and google. What is a good landing for a summer setup that will let you ride out? We have tryd carpet but it seems right when you hit the carpet, you fall forward becasue your skis dont slide. We know turf works but its a bit expensive. any other materials we could use?

you could use multiple layers of snowfence ontop of the carpet.

or try lattice, its like plastic coated wood stuff that forms a ton of crosses. people use it to cover up the foundation on their house or for vines to grow on sometimes. will post pics later

i use a blue plastic tarp. really anything will be more slippery then grass if you put some water and dish soap on it.

I use an extra piece of ply wood we had laying around and I just stapled carpet to the top of it, I think it's better than having just carpet down.

I use astro turf but my friends uses a giant tarp that we found. Its probably 40 feet wide by 60 feet long and I have no clue what its made of but it slides really nice. And it doesn't need water

just get a piece of turf, its like $20 for a shitload of it at lowe's or home depot. And it slides really well once you wet it down, I've never had a problem with it on my setup.
