the pads on there are the ones i have.

ok i am new to this whole "modding" stuff so can someone explain it to me, or have a link to a guide about modding them. or can help me?

you should have gotten the official extreme 2 bundle with the great konami pad!!! its far better than those crappy pads you got!

anyhow, get some plywood, tape the pad to it, and get a non-slip surface(like a yoga mat or one of those things for wheely chairs), cut it size accordingly, and tape that(or use an adhesive spray) to the wood. Bam. Now, that wasnt to hard, was it? anyway, the reason i reccomend using a nonslip bottom is if its on a piece of wood it will slide badly. Much like how metal pads have gripping on the bottom. And i use a yoga mat i cut in half, used adhesive, and bam. The thing slides less than my friends afterburner. More dance pads should use yoga mats as the bottom surface...

great, 43 views and only 1 other post. anyway tell me if this will work, bottom to top. stuff that goes under carpet mats so they dont slide. either 2x4 or plywood. then 1 inch foam(maybe). pad. now what can i put on top of it, would the hardwood florrr covering press down the sensors and mess it up? because i dont see how that would not press down the sensors. i want to be able to slide pretty well.
