it is time to work on summer set ups and i can not find this stuff. there are entire ski areas in england that have it and revolution has a set up with it in their add and it is kind of like what they use at water ramps, i have looked everywhere and cant find the name of it or how to buy it, all i found was permasnow but you have to place a big order with tons of $ to get that stuff, anyone have any clue?

we use the out door rug from walmart that is like astro turf but you have to have water running on it and stuff which is annoying and costly

you can buy Permasnow in small quantieties but its like 100 bucks per yard which is crazy pricey, we gotta be able to find a better way, I'm gunna experiment and I'll will post back with any successful results

the needles they use for water ramps are horrible to fall on. they tear through clothes. ouch

we have the power to change the evil in the world. stand up and fight the obstacles between reality and your dreams. we can make a difference. all we need to do is stand together, and like a tidal wave splinters a dike, we will destroy what stands in our way

I ride on snowflex in england. Its pretty good with 3inches of padding so it doesnt hurt when you crash. Ive not riden on perma snow but people say it needs more work.

Go to snowflex.com for info. Its pretty expensive tho.

were would u buy perma snow? at a home depot? The astro turf with running water can't be 2 expensive just use ur backyard hose. I wanna use this 22ft rail i acquired from the city this summer so i'm interested in all these ideas. THe only things that sux is the experimenting it costs lots of $$$.

permasnow.com or something but you have to like personally email the manufacture for a quote so you know it is mad expencive unless you get like 1000 square yards and you live in the uk (thats where the factory is)

minimum order is 240 square feet with shipping for $750, probably what you need if you want a sick setup, so yeah that kinda sucks but thats only a 40' by 6' area so 6' wide is fine and 40' long is fine, but wow is it expencive and since it is turf you will have to run water on it and shit which is really expencive, so it isnt worth it, damn it

this stuff could work but you are supposed to use it with a ton of sand but i would probably just use water i guess but it is only 1.75 a foot so 240 would be like $420 and with shipping like $520

by the way, who has tried different kinds of stuff? i have used mats with the bristles pointing in different directions, DONT GET THEM, i have used the waterramp stuff and that works fine but is hard to find, hurts and falls part if you dont use it perfectly rihgt, i have used straight up rug which is great with minimul snow and kind of works with really steep inrun and lots of water, and i have used this astroturf/outdoor rug (green) from home depot that works okay with tons of water and a steep slope but better than just rug
