pallets to build the shell, covered in plywood, rounded corners at the bottom... foam from couches, mattresses, chairs, etc covered so it stays dry

theres some websites like http://www.foamdistributing.com/products/products.html and this would be awesome but u could try bulk orders of foam stress balls cuz they wont mold for a long time and are awesome!!!! http://www.sz-wholesale.com/p/Stress-Relievers-and-Toys/2-1-2--Round-Stress-Reliever-143970.html or just search google for like bulk orders of foam.

Then make a resin ramp like the one at Woodward..........or a Cedar Wood Chip pile- I've tried and liked them all..........

haha a buddy of mine took an old tramopine and build a wall around 3 sides of it, then filled it with foam. it acctuly works decently well, but no madder what you are going to eat shit beaucse after you land you kinda bounce up, not alot tho the foam does a good job of slowing you down. its pretty ghetto tho
