ok so i know its a little late but already pulled out all my stuff again...and i want to figure out a cheap thing that works the same as fake grass for turf. It was a little expensive...but do you guys use anything else that makes you slide besides this?

if astro turf is too expensive for you i dunno some people say regular carpet works if you put soap and water on it.

Use construction fence on the majority of the drop-in, and then just buy turf for the tranny/lip.

if you cant afford some indoor/outdoor carpet, that's pretty sad. if you use something else, you will end up replacing it with indoor/outdoor carpet eventually...... indoor/outdoor carpet is the best thing out there

yo just buy astro turf. Its honestly like $20 of it for the entire setup. If you really can't spend $20 bucks grab old carpet and go on a night time mission to grab some orange construction fencing and put it ontop of the carpet. I've never tried it but apparently if you get the right construction fence it works better then turf

This is what me and my friends did. Bought turf for the whole setup and stole construction fence and put it over the turf until it gets upto the lip. Lots of speed

its a lot slower, but might work if you put some orange snow fence over it. build a jib is a good place to check out if you haven't. i tried carpet first and it didn't work well, i'd get turf if you can, i got all mine for like $20

orange fence and indoor/outdoor carpet works the best. especially when wet cuz the carpets made of like little plastic strips like astro turf but smaller and cheaper. and u can just staple it down to your set  up!
