Also the mesh idea finally gave me an answer what to do with one problem, i scrached the bottom of my plastic so much when i practiced to jump from the drops, the edge of the drop scrached the base of a board


I haven't seen any videos using garden mesh except at the Icon Classic contest... But yeah, if you want to use it, it'll probably prevent scratches and will keep snow on the obstacle, so it'll always slide. It's not usefull on much obstacles though, as most of the time you want to have a slippery surface to do boardslides on, and not just straight. It'll work for kickers though!

No, im planning use mesh not to keep snow. Im planning to actually ride the mesh on a kickers or quterpipes!
Didnt u see my topic about miniramps?

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1516

they use waxed meshes in summer. As far as u can see, the boards slide them even better then snow.
So we built a quoterpipe near local stoere haha =))
Check it out

Get Creative and start experimenting. Make sure you build before winter like in summer or fall.

Take welders craft in high school. I welded a siiick flat rail in that class, and my parents were more than happy to pay for a school project.

Learn to weld, skys the limit.
