Summer ramp

[D_War]

what material has the best speed to price ratio for my summer setup?

 

[Malcolm]

the ones you get for free

 

[Bpaddock]

turf for sure. or pvc rollers if you want to go cheaper

 

[Black.Bird]

Plastic fencing, it slides fast.

If you want it better, put turf under the fencing, thats what I do.

 

[Bugler]

where to get plastic fencing? How much is enough for the drop in, and the ramp? How much would it cost?

join the build a jib 101 cult and all your wildest questions will be answered

listen to my bro...I want to add something though...
The plastic fence is really fast, faster then the turf.The turf is slower but you have way more control on it.I recommend that you use the fencing on the inrun, and the turf on the kicker and landing.
prices (home depot): turf, about $20 for a 10X10 piece : plastic fencing, sorry I can't remember the price...

build a jib 101, is another possibility for sufficient amount of information on materials and prices.

tastey enough of an idea for me to do it when schools out! thanks

 

[Bumblesteeze]

Oh yea make sure you wet the turf, and a tad of soap too.

I cant find turf at home depot, is there a reason this may be?

 

[Bumblesteeze]

Thats weird...Try another hardware store. If you can't find any, you should check it out later in the spring.

 

[quixotic]

It's called indoor/outdoor carpet... they should carry it.

Hahaha I stole my plastic fencing in the middle of the night at a construction site. They have plenty of it so I figured I'd have the adrenaline rush train to grab it all.

Plastic lattice fencing ; you'll slide like a mother fucker, but have no control. That being said, combine different materials.
