lino is an upgrade from cardboard because cardboard can burn pretty bad. it's oldschool though. but who cares about being old school.

i prefer lino cuz if the cardboard piece is too small, it will keep slipping away...not good when ur headspining over cement and when the cardboard suddenly moves away...ouchies lol

id say cardboard cuz it gives a little bit of padding but sometimes the paper can rub off. lino is thin, and its smoothness last a long time and it can get wet unlike cardboard.

what i do is get my cardboard and put the lino over it and just tape the corners down.

i get the padding of cardboard and the smoothness of lino at the same time.
