Im not sure of the technical name of the plastic used but is made out of recycled milk bottles, It around 90 bucks a sheet in bulk. A mate happen to come across it while doing some work, he asked the owner and he said he could have it. We are going to use this slider at the first pro tour stop on the gold coast at the end of the year. Just getting it built early for some r+d at the local cable park. _________________ www.wake.com.au |

josh: the sheets are 2400x 1200mm
jibn: the foam has metal sheeting on both sides, I just run some bolts all the way through and put some nuts with washers on the other side. _________________ www.wake.com.au |
