Setup #1:
This is my setup last year with my newly made shotgun. The specs are:
Height: 3ft
Length: 20ft
Material: Steel
Cost: Approx $180 (Materials & Treatment)
There wasn't much snow at the time of photos, but it's sick once it snows a little more. This year I dug it into the ground, which helped, and made it much sturdier.
Setup #2:
This was my setup two years ago with some smaller skate rails. The specs are:
Height: 1ft
Length: 10ft (there are two rails)
Material: Steel
Cost: $10 (Rail lumber)
$80 (Ramp materials)
$10 (PVC)
This was a fairly snow-less winter as well. As there wasn't much to work with, we often arranged the rails beside each other, or in more creative succession (T-shaped) to allow for some cool sw-up/transfer practice. It made for a really fun setup and completely made up for the lack of both snow and features. If anybody else has the same issues, a T-setup (one rail to jump on, the next rail like 2ft after going perpendicular) is really fun to like grind, then stall, then try and grind back on the original rail. Hopefully that makes sense.
Any feedback or comments are greatly appreciated.
