you'll have lots of trouble if there isn't any slope at all. not only will you have to do tow ins or something (no way to get speed) but you'll be landing on the flats---no good.

if theres not much of an incline, build like a start, or do tow ins and youll have to build a ramp either out of snow or wood and a landing

get hay bails for your landing, or a pile of dirt or something. and then you gotta build a hugesteep wooden ramp to get speed on. its kinda a pain. check out ski_monkey05's ramp pictures. you gotta make somehting kinda like that...

that's a m-f'ing tidy little backyard booter you have there. Bugger building something, thats way to much effort, just buy a slide(like the one in a park you go to when your a kid) drop in off that, if its not big enough buy a cubby house on bomb onto the slide from a height, if you die it's not my fault.

If the snow is deep just jump off the roof of your house.

I've done this lots and only suffered the occaisional minor injury like a broken nose or dislocated shoulder.
