Other Is there anywhere to buy underpad without ordering it?

Im just about done putting my new rn nose together. I ordered some b-sheet but forgot to order padding, ( it was marathon Monday at about 11pm if that explains anything). My roommate just got his motor back from xmetal so were really trying to ride this weekend but all I need now it to find some pad. Guess I could go turfless but I thought it wouldn't hurt to see if anyone new if there was something out there that would work.

Theres a yoga mat at walmart its 20 best stuff I used so far. Sticks better then the camping mat...

Absorbs water like a sponge too...

The blue camping mat is ok. I've tried all sorts of padding and the real minicell foam is the best. You're spending a good chunk of money on turf anyway...what's another $20-$30 on real padding that you have to order when it will last longer than the turf? All the other stuff degrades pretty quickly and you're stuck replacing the turf to replace the padding.
 
Don't use the camping or yoga mat, I've done both and they both suck, mainly because they stay compressed after little use. The Yoga mat I bought at big 5 didn't absorb water though. If you still have the stock padding you can turf over that but do a good job gluing it or it will come up.

Just need to find closed cell foam.

The blue camping mat is good and only costs like $5. I dont think it has an issue "decompressing" but it isent as soft as HT stuff

You might get a season out of it. I wouldn't count on much more than that. I ran it on my flatdeck and it worked but after half a season, I could tell that the padding was losing it's effectiveness and the landings were hurting my feet more. You might get more out of it if you ride with shoes as you won't notice the difference as fast. I was riding barefooted at the time so I noticed pretty quickly when it started sucking.

Ditto on the blue camping mat, it sucks and hurts my feet even with shoes on, nothing but Minicell for me from now on !

I realize that. He is so close to Portland that ground shipping from Portland would get to him overnight. I pointed this out two days ago. Why spend $35 on a chitty camping mat when you can spend $30 on actual HT padding?
I've used both.
