Making summer skiing, skiable

Melbourne. · 2013-03-29 18:25:36

I found some carpet and soaped it down and keep it really wet but I still stick to it when I ride over it, is there anything I can do to make it work better/ less sticky?

Coat it in Teflon.

Also, what kind of carpet?

Ridiculous

This runs great. Sometimes can be sketchy but I highly recommend it.

is it just normal carpet? not indoor/outdoor? because to slide you need the hydrophobic aspect of indoor/outdoor carpeting (basically just that it's plastic). thats why your skis would slide on it, because the material doesn't absorb the water, leaving the water/soap as a lubricating layer between your skis an the carpet
