Plyo grass.

[Jujimufu]

Seriously. You take the best of both worlds. You cut a ... I guess something like 100 foot by 100 foot square out in the middle of a gigantic field, a foot deep? Then you install a plyometric floor. Then you plant a good grass on top of it, something soft but not too deep. No weeds, you stomp them like a real man (screw chemicals, it doesn't teach them the needed lesson).

Oh plyo grass. It would be FANTASTIC!

And then it would rain... :sad:

[Peleke]

That would be fucking amazing. Kick-ass idea, that would be awesome if someone could do that. :eh:

[Ninja_Flip]

Put a gaint ceiling over it that opens/closes:wink:

[Raven]

Oh my god juji, that would be so fucking incredible. After all the wide flat grassy surfaces i have dreamed about in my dreams, this would have to be up there at the top. The height, the awesoem feeling on your feet. It would be pure trickster heaven

[Grenkutzu]

That would be...extreme.

[Jujimufu]

At the very least, how about just a plot of plyometric flooring outside in the middle of a field? That way, at least you are still outside - but you lose the feeling of cool-silky grass on your feet. You also lose the feeling of angered crab grass ripping the bottom of your foot apart (I landed a b-twist on a gigantic mound of that a month ago [OUCH]).

[Skilzat85X]

If I ever get rich I'm going to make a facility using that.

Hehe I wonder if that would work for like grass spring floors/boards and ooo oo oo; instead of a foam pit a grass pit. Well I think that might be overdoing it a bit, it's an allergy attack waiting to happen. Hay would be good for it, but not green enough.

[Jujimufu]

You could make the plyometric flooring a manly, hunter green too so it blends in a bit. I guess I'm saying the most important thing is being outside. There is something about the sun and air outside that improve the vital impulses. I'm like bird man, when the sun comes out I get super strong. hahaha

[Grenkutzu]

YES! Make an outdoor plyo floor! That would kick copius amounts of ass!

No, instead of a foam pit you make a big "quick" sand pit. Sand pits are good, quick sand is better.... And how many sand pits have you tricked that were all that deep? I'm talking 6-8 feet of loose sand? Then of course just a normal sand pit for moves you want to actually land... The outdoor trickster arena. All the pits, mats, and plyo are replaced by their outdoor counter products...

[Skilzat85X]

Outdoor pylo would probably be good.

But personally I find I land everything sooo much better in big open fields. I just love knowing that I have all this space and freedom and fresh grass to run around. Alas, that's harder to find for me at this time of the year. Especially when there's a bunch of stupid little kids around. AND even more especially when stupid people wont clean up their dogs crap at the park.

I think this idea deserves a drawing or preimptive sketch, even though I can't draw. I'm sure there's some other artists here.

Ahhhh. One of my friends from school who just got into tricking said that we should get a sand pit haha. Call it a "volley ball" pit just so the dumb athletically-challenged school will go through with it. But we're "special" so we have no sports, and thus no pits or mats. Thank goodness we at least have huge fields. I suppose beach sand would be the best too use, aside the quicksand.

[Grenkutzu]

This plan needs to be put into action immediatly. Tricking outside on the grass, a warm spring day, feeling like king! GAH! I'm going to wind up building something like this one day.

[Jujimufu]

Keep taking steps towards more realistic, and more unrealistic.

For a step towards realistic. Have you noticed some cheaper gyms with plyo seem to have it just sitting on top of a concrete floor? The warehouses that just buy off some plyo, piece it together, and toss carpet strips on it. So why not purchase an acre of land, BUILD a small shack - etch a 70x70 foot square in the field, cut deep into it about 8 inches, wall the sides and bottom of that etch with concrete - and on a nice day put the plyo together inside the etching? It would be level with the rest of the grass (would not get rained on) and the shack would provide for the storage of course for the pieces.

This is a fun idea, even if it doesn't go anywhere. Somebody should sketch it out just for fun.

[Grenkutzu]

And for a step towards unrealistic:

After having that done, buy a truckload of fine grained sand. Then grab a shovel, find a feild, and manically dig and dig while laughing constantly. After the giant hole is dug, dump all the sand into it, and add water. Invite your freinds! They'll have one HELL of a time tricking into such a perfectly crafted pit!

That's not unrealistic! Where do you think Taegashi has been? He died drowning in it... :worry:

Damn it! A step ahead... I'll have to take it a little further then. But I don't know how!

[Skilzat85X]

The only problem I've found is rain.

What we need is a special type of dirt and grass. Like freaking genetically manipulated stuff; that will absorb water and still combine the greatness of grass and pylo.

It was a whimsical idea, but I'm fairly certain plyo would not work with a ridiculously heavy mat of grass set on top of it hehe. Plyo outside is the next best thing, and I thought it work best if you bought an acre of land - had a small shack - and stored the plyo in pieces inside the shack. Pieces it together on a nice day out on the field, carpeted it - and went for it.

It would probably take about 2 hours to set up though, but for a good weather week you could leave it out for ... until the forcast predicts rain again. And even if it did rain - it would just be getting carpet wet.

[Jujimufu]

Some plyo floors are built with just plywood with springs underneath, I believe.

[Skilzat85X]

Or there could just be a large covering to go over the mats incase they need protection. Hmmmmmm.

[Raven]

My idea for an aleternative for the foam pit.

A huge pit, filled with modified powder snow so that it is warm and does not melt. Its perfect.

Edit: Actually an out door pylo grass floor MAY not be impossible, you would need to dig the pit. And then cover pylo in a layer, maybe two of durable plastic so u make it water proof. and then cover it with a really nice type of grass

[Tocowujo]

They also use those just those foam compression blocks instead of springs.


You could have a mechanical tarp-like cover thing for the outdoor plyo floor that would always be under the entire flooring, and rolled up on the sides that you would unroll over the flooring and seal it shut somehow, so it would be like a giant sealed plastic bag.

NICE model

[Steve]

Either the grass would die first or a rain would come by and sink the thing haha

[Xenocide]

The grass where I live is the worst ever. Its soggy and wet year round because I live on an island. Ever done a backflip and have your feet sink into the grass about 6 inches? you guys should be happy with what you have!
You want to go out there and modify good ol nature when people like me are stuck with sad grass =( thanks alot

Fixed it...


I was hoping i would fix it fast enough to where no one would notice...

If the grass and top soil was too heavy, it would compress the springs. If the springs are too stiff as a result, the tricker's may not be able to generate enough force to get a good rebound. TRICKY!

If you are rich enough to construct this, you can probably afford new grass if it dies. With good care, it can probably be maintained.

By "sketch" Juji meant:
"Elaborate engineering artistry with built in marketing scheme"

Good job though.

[Tatsumaru]

This is the best idea ever. Man, bouncyness in the wilderness whilst naked...

[simon]

money...so much money

[One Winged Angel]

I think it's safe to say if anyone did this, he/she would be having hoads of trickers trying to use it constantly

[Dave C]

So yeah, wasn't anyone listening when I was talking about buying a plyo floor for installation in a gym/greenhouse arrangement in the middle of the woods?

Forget leaving it out in the open, it will get ruined no matter what. Just build a greenhouse enclosure around it, make sure it's well ventilated, plant some trpoical plants around the floor for atmosphere and to break falls, and you're good to go

[Meegz]

I remember you talking about that somewhere...don't remember if it was on the forums or in person....

how about plyo that it actually made of biomatter...and grows when watered...soft, bouncy, genetically engineered grass! Just need some sort of plant springs...no rain damage...just improvement.... wow I love hairbrained ideas.

[Skilzat85X]

Hey I said something about genetically engineered grass earlier.

It is a good idea, however reasonably impossible. At least with the averge tricking budget.

[cord]

forget buying expensive-ass plyometric flooring-

get a load of old tyres, lay them all out next to each other and then cover them with plywood and carpet with perhaps a layer of thin-ish foam on top of the plywood.

BAM!

Would that really work? :shocked:

[cepopeye]

It was a whimsical idea, but I'm fairly certain plyo would not work with a ridiculously heavy mat of grass set on top of it hehebut you could do it with the new kind of fake grass! not astroturf :dead: but its got like, recycled chunks of rubber from tireds for soil and fake blades of grass. Its great for tricking IMO and looks like real grass till you bend down and check it really closely

[Grenkutzu]

You know there is a typo in your sig, right cepopeye?


But anyway, all these ideas...something has to be put into action. If could be possible, (though highly unlikley) to get some kind of city funding for a "Park" to be built that consisted of a big house thingy that had plyo in it.

[alex]

I remember a thread a couple of years ago where we were discussing something similar...something like a trickster greenhouse.

Something my sister used to do to make her own plyo landing floor was take a mattress, then put plywood, then a gymnastics mat. You could do something like this on a big scale, just replace 'gymnastic mat' with 'puzzle mat' and were in business.

ive bn saving 4 a while now to get my garage plyo'd but cant find anywer to buy in the UK

[Tony Nguyen]

your gay juji, post a samp!

[jAckie]

It would probably take about 2 hours to set up though,.

thats what we do at my gymnastics club all the time..it takes 10minutes to set it up.

[Justin]

Haha Plyo Grass! Brilliant! :tongue:

[Bubba]

Would that really work? :shocked:

yes its very possible... somebody posted a link about it awhile ago...

[DarkXacreD]

Wouldn't the plyo floor start to rot?

[simon]

the homemade stuff looks good i may try that
and post how it turns out

[lastmanstanding]

well if you simply put grass on plyo then it would crumble with the excessive bouncing and just turn into a pile of mud. not recommended, though its a safe idea.

you need a kinda jelly like stuff, that wont crumble. unfornutalely that will have a clammy cold uncomfortable feel. dammit.

the only feasible way is to have the whole gras bit firm and solid, and then when the thing bounces, the whol lot will bounce, and the real grass wont crumble. youll need super-strength plyo, and it wouldnt behave completely like plyo anyway then.

[Skylark]

Someone should do it for a gathering or something. Get everyone in the gathering to chip in.

[LongJian]

Bastard

[Towlie2110]

Man I thought of this same idea not too long ago, But with my idea, instead of laying the carpet over, you switch it with the grass or really nice synthetic grass. But between the two layers you place a giant sheet of like Plastic sheeting so that the water can drain into the plyo. And on the edges you have runoff spots and drains and such.


Edit: where can you buy plyo flooring online? I MUST SAVE UP!!!

[carney]

Put a Large Tarp over it when your done and use tent pegs to hold it down;)

[TartanPajamas]

I camped on Newcastle Island last year, just like every other year, but couldn't trick on the fields because of all the rabbit turds. Yay for tarp + tent pegs!

[xXmeatwadXx]

Our School just put in A Football field of Plyo Grass i think And apparently you can jump higher Cause of some Rubber pellets under it?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/Zephre/plyo_idea.jpg

So yeah... in your backgardern maybe.. dig a hole, fill with a couple of layer of tarpo... insert plyo... cover up when done..

[`TwiTzT`]

oh I get it now!!! grass is happy when it isnt dead!!..i wonder if juji is happy when he's dead..hmm

so we need non-dead grass..and dead plyo?

[TrikyRiky-Zephre]

If theres is tarpuline (however its spelt) between the mud and the plyo... then it should not rot or decay... and there is no grass underneath to die.

You may need to put something Hard that doesnt rot underneath the tarp so you dont just pound it into the mud.

[Bubba]

someone should make plyo cement for people that do parkour

[Towlie2110]

http://i73.imagethrust.com/t/436163/sideviewplyograss.jpg (http://i73.imagethrust.com/images/1PsT/computers-and-hardware/side-view-plyo-grass.html)

From bottom to top.

1. Ground
2. PlyWood
3. Plyo flooring.
4. Clear tarp sheeting
5. Carpet/synthetic grass.
6. air.

Now it's seperated in the picture so you can see it better.

The tarp is sealed over the top of the plyo. It's angled down to the sides so that when it rains, the water can run off through a series of pipes that you dig into the ground. These pipes connect to any ditch nearby.
The Pipes also connect through to the surface, on the corners at the very edge of the grass sheet. (The grass sheet needs to be slightly larger)

Rubber stakes can be used to keep the grass in place, but some sort of liquid adhesive would work better and not move during use.

If somone can give me a price on plyo, I could give you a rough estimate on how much that would cost.

For half of a basketball court Without plyo. = 100 $-120$

Edit: it might be worth noting that this shit is free.

[Flipz]

whats with all of you and plyo, go trick on plyo for 1 year then go to grass and i bet you wont be able to land the majority of your tricks until you get used to the grass again.

[Towlie2110]

That may be true flipz, but there are many varying degrees of Plyo such as Half and Half which is as you can guess half as springy.

I personally just like the soft and level feel to it.

[Flipz]

yeah i guess ur right bout that, using full bounce plyo can screw with u.

[twist]

Its all for the funess level. On plyo moves are easier and you can bust out stuff that you couldnt otherwise do on grass. justlike if your on a trampoline and you do backflip-backflip-backflip etc then sure if you do it to much youll get used to it but its really cool doing it and having a change of pace. also plyo floors are good to learn cause they are alot less scary and you got more airtime for the move your trying to get

[Towlie2110]

Team Jiayo have a plyo grass area within their area! Though its plyo-ness is quite seasonal.

[Razo.]

I just made a deal. I bought the world and made it law to have Plyoment everywhere..

[Sebra]

I actually had a dream about a plyofloor outside behind my school and in the middle of a class i noticed it and went out to trick, i think it was raining tho...
Anyway, plyo outside would be awesome! :D A foampit beside and grass surrounding everything. And the grass should like fade over to a beach! :D that would be the perfect trickingarea ^^
