You simply need to attach them to wood, this way they are supported.

Make a regular skateboard kicker using plywood, u can find tons of plans over internet. Then cover it with a plastic garden mesh (can find it in any gerden hardware store).

You don't need to use garden mesh... Just use plywood, that's all there is to it.

Well, on kicker garden mesh probably useless. But ss far as i see from the videos, garden mesh can add extra speed on quoterpipes\ramps and other big obstracles. 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
