This is at a hill behind my friends house. We created the bases for the jump with dirt, and abd base for the rail with both, sticks, dirt and a peice of wood...

Tell me what you think, were not done with the jump yet. At the very top, theres a big tree that my friend pushed down, where, were gonna sit and stuff, and then, off to the right, is where were gonna start to hit the rail...

I like the idea of "pre-building" the jump. I'm going to do the same thing at a friends house. He has this hill behind his house and there is a small "road" that goes across it, so I'm planning on building a jump to gap the road.

Yeah, we pre-built it so its semi-permanet, and so we can hit it when theres not a bunch of snow, just enough to cover the top...

We can get 2 more of the exact rails, and we were thinking of making a kink, up were the "jump" is supposed to be.

thats dope man!, if you can u should also cut down some more trees to widen the trail at the bottom so you can bomb in and build a jump at the bottom!

Do yoursealf a favor and rake all the laeves on ur path out of the way. especialy when there is under 6 inchs of snow it is a pain to pack it down on leaves. why are the 2 rails put together like that u should seperate thema nd make it into a flat down type rail.

Its basically just a lay-out of where its gonna be, we might build it up more, or we might move some dirt higher and make a kink with rails exactly like the 2 at the bottom (welder)

Haven't decided yet.

You could make a huge dirt mound, then make get one of those pallet things that they have at Costco and such and make a little wall? Just to stall on and stuff, that'd be a nice ender

Gah... I live in tract housing and I have around 30 palm trees in my backyard. The only time my city got snow was in 1987. I'm a skier DEFINETLY living in the WRONG town.

Well... at least living in LA means that Tahoe is close and Mammoth is closer... not like those poor bastards living in Florida or something.

yo dude, buy some pvc and put a wallride on the bottom, but put the crail on the side as a setup to the wall, that would be sick and make a flat down box for fucking around with butters and shit

you know what, use one yellow rail as a flat and the other for a down rail, that will be much cooler than the double
