Does anyone here have a diagram for a homemade slide box where I could had spokes in the back to place weights on for resistance. And also, are track surfaces the only surface you can use a slide box on?

You can add carpet to the bottom and use it inside a gym.

We have a set for our indoor track. One for the gym floor. And, one for asphalt. Note of caution----spot your athletes when they first start on asphalt. I had one boy last year not resist the pole and ended up on his back with a knot on the back of the head.

Go to Jan Johnson website for a diagram for the box.

Also, Monday morning, go to Home Depot in the back by the saw and look in the cut wood bin. I've made a slide box for less than ten dollars.

I can't find the diagram

Depending on how you build your skid box, you can build it so that you stack them one behind the other and that will offer resistance and weight. If you build it in the shape of a giant V the back of one box will fit inside the other.
