ridesnwboards Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Hey i kno skier 150 was talking about the sand fill carpet but i was just wondering if he or anyone else had any specific details on this like exactly what kind to buy off the website or how much all of his costed for that run...which is sick by the way!

toast21602 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 it cost a little around $3000 for the roll of carpet and shipping. and it is pretty sweet. it slides pretty nice once it is wet down and is great for all the summer rail sessions that we had. he doesnt have sand-filled though... at least i dont think so Quote
ridesnwboards Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Posted February 8, 2006 Ic thats awesome...but im still confused about this because if it only costs $10 per square yard, $3000 worth of it would be 300 yards...im pretty sure you wouldnt need that much...unless shipping is rediculously expensive or sumthing?

VTmark Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 hey skier 150 what is the brand of carpet your using and were can i get it? i know theirs a post on this but i couln't find it. (doug no bashing me for resursing a thread) Quote
righthandedlefty Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Its skibum26 ANyways,anyone have any suggestions on what kind of carpet to use for a little backyard carpet riding? Just a lil something to mess around on over the summer and practice some things on a rail/box... Quote
Stevo Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) it cost a little around $3000 for the roll of carpet and shipping. and it is pretty sweet. it slides pretty nice once it is wet down and is great for all the summer rail sessions that we had. he doesnt have sand-filled though... at least i dont think so I'm guessing you've ridden it. (edit:DUH) Do you just wet it and go, or do you need ice rink snow? Edited April 16, 2006 by stevo Quote

toast21602 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 just wet it and go. its good stuff. i prefer real snow, but in the summer, thats hard to find so thats when Chris' carpet comes into play. Quote
VTmark Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 but what is it called? does he use snowflex? Quote
toast21602 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 i'm not sure of the name... i know he ordered it through D&D Flooring. It was a couple thousand dollars for a roll and expensive to ship.... if you dont have the money for it, jsut do what i do. i got old carpet that was thrown out from some carpet store and just layed it down and then cover it with a thin layer of snow from the ice rink. it works great.if you dont have snow, spray it with wd40 or soap it up, but it works much better with snow Quote
Justo8484 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 the carpet is called sandfill. i guess its designed for people with shore houses, they lay it down in their lawn and put a thin layer of sand on it, and the sand fills in between the fibers and makes the fibers stand up so it looks more like real grass than astroturf does. its the longer fibers that make it slide more like snow than regular turf does. if you cant afford the sandfill stuff, regular turf will work, but you have to make sure its nice and wet, or there's plenty of wax on your skis.
