I know that m-snow is probably better than astro turf in terms of speed and quality, but its far more expensive. I am building a summer jib set right now and dont know whether to buy M-snow or Astro turf. I dont want to waste a ton of money on m-snow if its not that much better than astro turf. What do you guys say which is better?

mSnow is better than astro turf in every way. I skied on astro turf all last summer, and put in msnow this summer. It's really so much better, you can hardly edge on astro turf.

Because the answer is most likely inside the thread that is made about that same thing at least once a month.

I was wondering the same thing because I'm considering building a home rail setup, but I want an ease of storage when I'm done.

Wow, I just wrote a whole fucking story about why you should buy astroturf but it auto signed me out before I clicked reply...

but anyways use turf. msnow is overpriced as shit and if your drop in is good enough you won't need it.

astro turf is less expensive and it works well. make sure to get the low-cut turf and powder dish soap makes you go really fast if u put that on the turf and hose it down.

Why would you need to use your edges on a fucking 8ft drop in?

because after I apply mWax I'll miss half my rail if I don't wedge a bit on the way down.

the lower the cut of turf it is, meaning the lower the fake grass is, the faster you go in my opinion.

Can anyone ballpark how much a decent/nice summer jib setup would cost? I'm moving into a new house on 20 acres so I'll have plenty of space although it isn't very hilly. I don't mind spending a decent amount of coin if it is worth it but I also gotta buy a trampoline so money is kinda tight.

100-600

if there is any construction around go there and search the dumpsters for wood/parts to lower the cost

Either go on craigslist or look around where you live for anyone that might give away free wood pallets. they saved me about 50 bucks. They can be used for the roll in and the kicker as well. industries usually just leave them out for people to take but i found a company on craigslist that was giving them out for free.

Imo spending over 300 on a half decent setup is unreasonable. Mine cost about $150-$200 and I bought everything
