Just building a winter drop in ramp for urban because the bungee just didn't really work how we thought it would. Anyway would it be a good idea to cover it in turf even though it's only for the winter? I think it would give a lot more slide then just straight plywood.
 
yeah turf will work, or if you want the max amount of speed, just mount a bunch of pvc pipes onto the ramp, perpendicular to the sliding direction, every 20cm/8inch or something .....
 
alright ,but you will lack edge control, and make sure there really small pvc pipes like 1/2 dia. in or so

or you could do what i do, and put little pieces of wood perpindicular to the ramp, just like i_am_god said. this will hold the snow on, give you speed, and you will have more edge control then using pvc.
 
true, pvc is super sketchy when it comes to "steering" or edging ....

:) but it slides like a champ !
