[Jeff Miles]

i just checked out the vids. off of the ess.team site and say marco's vids. and on one of them looked like some kind of rug or something..what kind of material is that..and is it like snow??

[LikWid]

yea what is that stuff thats sick u could ski all year around with that stuff

its indoor out door carpet it dont feel like snow but you can move on it i had a prety good setup last summer it helps out some

[marcolo86]

Its a sort of plastic, looks like many plastic combs in rows. Feeling is quite distant from real snow, edges hardly catch and therefore carving into turns is quite difficult. It's like skiboarding on pure ice.

Here's the website, the English version doesn't seem to work but you can still have a look at a few pics.
