Just strap a couple searchbars to your feet and you should be jibbing in no time. Or astroturf with snowjel or water.
request an invite to the build a jib 101 cult. there is alot of useful information in there.

astroturf works especially well.

but I think the search bar comment was uncalled for.  he looks new to the sight.

it gets very expensive actually.  but ask for remnants, it is the remains of another roll

I picked up all that I was looking for and some more for about 2 bucks, she rang up wrong of course, it actually should have been about 15 but the original price would have been just under 100.  either way you are getting a deal.

aparently if you have a wet lawn it slides pretty good, my drop in is a piece of kitchen counter which slides like crazy when its wet then it just goes to grass and when thats totally soaked down it slides, there was some leaves in the mix too

You obviously haven't been on NS too much. So try to get in the Build-a-jib 101 cult.
