Is it worth building a summer jib?

Question

I am thinking about building a maybe 6 foot high ramp with a small lip onto a box. I would use cheap astro-turf on the ramp but I am not sure what the best material for the top of the box would be. Also is it worth building one? because I can do boxes but nothing fancy like 270's on or anything. Also How long and what shape shoud I make the box? Lots of questions thanks!

Answer 1

try a strips of formica counter tops for your box.  a straight box would be easiest to make.  prob 1 foot wide and 10 to 15 feet long.  Make sure you wet down the astro turf, you will slide much better.

good luck

Answer 2

I had astro turf but it was slow until i found some "snow fence" and when wet it goes as fast as snow.

Answer 3

Now all you need is snow.  Its pretty tough to ski or snowboard on astroturf.
