I’ve been thinking for some time about setting up a couple of jibs in my backyard so that I can practice in the offseason, but I really don’t know where to start. I know that I have the option of going to camp for a week during the summer to practice, but I do not really want to spend that kind of money. I DO realize that a camp is probably the best possible option for me, but I want something I can practice on every day. So therefore, I have a few questions: 1.) What is the best type of snow-like surfacing to use that doesn’t cost $200 for 10 square feet (like Snoflex or something like that)? 2.) How should I build a drop-in ramp and kicker? 3.) As far as a box, how high and/or long should it be? I only want something to practice doing regular tricks on (like a flat box). What are some companies that make boxes and rails that are available commercially? Thanks In Advance
