The season is close to over and the snow is melting so I want to create a summer jib set up but I don't know what the stuff use as a replacement for snow is so what is that stuff and where can I get it
 
A lot of people use turf and spray water and soap over it. Construction fencing is a good option to put over that to gain some extra speed. If you have a dry slope near you go and ask if they have any spare bits of slope (whatever they use). I've recently heard more and more about msnow but it's fairly expensive. It all really depends on a budget
 
I came up with a pretty cheap but really good setup that has worked for about, a week solid. First get a ramp or a hill (Hard Part). Next take a short haired hallway rug, go to the local thrift shop, i got it for like 5$. and then a orange snow bank fence. Â[URL]http://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-4-ft-x-100-ft-Orange-Barrier-Fence-998044/100384030#.UVjkdRyIM3k[/url] you don't need it to be extremely long. Put the rug down, then the fence on top. Screw or staple it down. If the rug is short enough, then you should get pretty good speed going down. Much faster than a full sheet of turf, and somewhat cheaper.
 
I just used grass carpet that I bought at walmart for $10. Works great as long as you have a pretty big drop in (6ft is good) and use lots of soap and water. Also, don't put much flat space between the end of the drop in and the kicker because it makes you slow down A LOT. I do not recommend orange construction fencing because it tends to get caught in your breaks.
 
Its pretty smooth without it, but incase you don't have a pair of beaters and don't want to scratch your bases you don't need the rug
