I just bought a summer ski setup but I didn't get a landing for after the rail, what are some decent surfaces that are cheap?

Do you have grass on the landing? Or is it just dirt.

Also about the wax, if you bought msnow did it not come with mwax?

it's dirt and some sticks, amd I bought the whole thing from someone off Facebook and they didn't give me mwax, I just ordered it though.

Kinda sounds like artificial turf is your best option then. I’d also suggest using a little sprinkler to keep the turf wet during sessions

A whole already built setup? Nice!
Yeah the grass turf stuff for the landing will work , after clearing away the sticks.

Turf is sweet, old carpets work better tham dirt if you don't have anything else.

Buy some used msnow. Make a post on msnow about it. Or go through the old post your jib forums. I got some old while msnow from Mark drvper that way! Little did I know that he was a really good skier and started hostibg comps lol. Anyways searching the build a jib forum for msnow is difficult but I might pay off if you can buy some old stuff in the USA. Also don't buy from the.clap or whatever his name is on here. He's fake AF and he has a msnow selling post too

I can hook u up with some soiled carpet. It's been regimentally peed on for the last couple years, me and the boys just ripped it up yesterday but we'd have all sorts of fun games with urine on this carpet. Have you tried the pisslympics? I recommend you get a carpet to pee on cause that shit just soaks up all the piss and you don't need to worry so much about cleaning up.
It's also really good for a sliding surface better then unsoiled carpet for sure.

does turf slide at all when it's not wet? I don't wanna spray it with water cause that would be muddy

Bro you always have to use water. If you don't want your skis getting muddy then do what I did and buy like $500 worth of turf to put everywhere. Plus if you don't buy msnow then you will want turf bc you can't edge on plastic. So it's turf+water or bust pretty much. Also even if you had msnow everywhere there is a really good chance that you'll fall off your rail into some grass and get your skis dirty. Dirty skis is the way of the backyard setup my guy. Oh and yes, turf+soap+water = big zoom on skis
