its pretty easy to build and we built an super dope setup for only 100 bucks. for the runway use carpet which we got all of ours for free at either the dump or neighbors. to beable to go fast enough u just spray the carpet with water and put dishsoap on it. as for the rails we also got all the wood at the local dump. we made the frames out of 4x4 and 2x4 and then screwed PVC pipe ontop to make a rail. its really easy and you can make some really nice stuff for a cheap price

definitely carpet for the inrun, just wet it...its best to not be super thick carpet, cuz it ends up slower than thinner carpet

Does carpet mess up the ski base?

Does carpet mess up your feet?
A ski base is more durable than your foot.
It's logic.
