Ok just got done building my backyard setup and am wondering what would be better to cover it with turf or plastic lattice. I was thinking latice on the drop in and then turf on the jump. Thanks for the help

Exactly what you said. Plastic in run, turf on the jump.
Plastic = faster, but not gripTurf = slower, but more grip.

"I was thinking latice on the drop in and then turf on the jump."
Thats is a good way to do it. Remember that the plastic goes faster, but you get less control. The turf is slower then the plastic but you have more control.Your setup looks awesome, have fun with it.

dude I said the same thing because his answer didn't come up yet...
Girls don't normally use the word "dude"....you have me confused.... 
but really, on topic now: great set-up, if it was mine i'd go for turf with orange fencing for drop-in and turf for take off and tarp maybe for landing....
i'd also use turf around the steps, perhaps stapled to it, but not one massive strip of turf covering all the planks....

yea i am def going with the plastic lattice then the turf. Will add more turf if there is to much speed. I dont have and orange fencing or else i would give that a try aswell. Will just turf layed on the grounf be ok for a landing? thanks for all the help!!!
imho tarp is quite good for landing: its cheap and slides well; you'll ride away much further then on turf...
but sometimes you can catch an edge on tarp....
Dis-/Advantges of tarp / turf
Tarp = slides well, cheap, sometimes you can cathch an edge on the tarp if its laid down on grass or soft/irregular ground....
Turf= feels more like the real deal, you can hold an edge (where tarp just slides anyway you land), turf = more expensive, more friction, not enough speed to properly execute "afterbang"

I have a good bit of turf that i had bought. I had originaly planned on using all turf until i heard of using the plastic latice.
