Over the summer, my freind spent about 2 grand on his backyard park. We built a 10 foot starting ramp entirely out of wood, and have a 6 foot main kicker right now. There is a maybe 15-20 foot flat section down to a landing ramp. We hit it the first day yesterday, it was a blast, till 2 of my freinds got hurt, so we gotta slow it down. But i did throw my first d-spin, so i should be landing those by this weekend. Ill try to get pics up soon. We alos plan on a kink rail, and a 40 foot rail soon.

Oh man that sounds sick, Im hoping my backyard will be just a sick. i've got a 30 ft in ramp to a 7 ft cliff. I dunno know how big the jump will be, i haven't tested it yet. The coolest thing is that my dad has a welder and made me a sick double barreled 18 ft rail. Backyard parcs rock.

i have like a 50 ft. hill that i use for an inrun, then i built a kicker that goes OVER my trampoline.
I also grind the trampoline, and have a 10 ft. step up jump up the back of the hill that requires snowmobile tow in. the step up is only like 8 ft. but it is fun.

At my friends house we have a pretty big gap. The kicker is prolly 6 feet tall, built of dirt. Last year before we built it up I could pull backs and stuff off it. This year it will be a lot bigger. We also got a 10 foot rail and are workin on welding a kinked rail.

I have about an 8 ft in run to a 20ft bench slide right now. We have a few more plans in the works.

I got 3 mini tables, a superpipe, a 15 foot flat rail, 2 8 foot flat rails, a rainbow and a kink. I also got 9 huge rollers in a row and two 30 foot tables. oh and another 8 acres of just snow covered hill and to get me to the top I got a quad a triple and a T-bar. all of this about a 2 minute walk from my house. this is not counting the 10 plus stair rails right beside the hill.

last year i had a five foot tall start ramp to a 15 foot table. the jup was about four feet tall. you could throw 5's off it if you spun fast enough. i also had a four foot tall rail that was ten feet long. i had a slide gride. you get alot of speed and grind up a 12foot plastic slide in my back yard i plan to ad a 10'tree stal in by back yard and more rails and possibly a road gap. gapping my neighbors driveway.
