I want to be able to grind in the summer, but theres no snow. So i was thiking if I made a ramp and put a tarp or plastic sheet or something like that on it would I get any speed or even slide on it? Would it work or not?

get it wet i did it with a slip and slide so it has to work with a tarp


we bet this retarded kid to smoke a blunt on a bus. he got a 30 day suspension and had to go to court... oops.-Skiierman no, you get a rear wheel drive car, and do a donut, and punt them across the street with the tail of the car. that's how

build a steep ramp and put indoor/outdoor carpet on it. it works well, wet it and put soap on it if you must

old pool liners work really well, just need to get them wet and they slide fine.

The problem with a tarp is that it rips and thus is temporary indoor/outdoor carpet is mad cheap and with water works real well also if you have mad loot there is a plastic materail like lexan that works amazingly well

I've been using tarps since october for my rail, and they don't rip that much. dish soap and water works well. I will post vids and pics this weekend.

I've tried tarps, astoturf, carpet, soap and water... you name it. While all of those things work, to some degree..., there is no substitute for a truckload of ice rink snow.

Sooo much less hastle too!

as your attorney, I advise you to download the I HATE NY trailer. at the very end they have one shot of a summer setup. seemed to work pretty well for them. good luck.

tarp and soapy water works but you have no control, astro turf works best.

astro turf works good, but i have a friend who just has a wood plank covered in chicken wire, then soaks it in water and it works great.

Just get a rail, balance on top of it and have someone push you. Works great.
