Just wanted everyone to describe thier own rail ideas. Original stuff, not things you saw in a pic or movie. What would you do if you could make any rail (that is reasonable).

Heres mine: A double curved rail. It allows you to grind either the left or right curve depending on which way you chose to lean!

what about two y rails set so the tops of the y's were joined. basically a rail that splits into two, then rejoins after.

I thought of like a terrain park that you needed to slide a rail over a fence to get into it so you could keep the shitty lil kids out, hehe

Here are some more 3d rails designs.

If im lucky, one day, me and my friend will get a rail welding business up and running. It is very profitable. a rail that costs $200 to make can easily be sold for up to a thousand dollars. Now i just gotta save up for a Mig Welder.

haha..that 'rail tycoon' thing is 3d studio max. It is 3d modeling/rendering software. Right now the price is running at $3,495.00 US.

Im not really skilled enough to make decent looking animations... especially not of a skier hitting a rail. Im learning though!

yea tremblant has one that oges both ways like that.
its kinda gay though cause the c in the rail is really tight and you gotz to lean like a motherfucker to do it.

im thinking a cool rail would be like a trap. but with no middle peice.

so like this

just not so steep. then you could do like 720s from rail to rail and shit.

...how about a loop...like the one Auclair and Anthony B. did last year. Only instead of snow build a box, so you can go 50-50 first, then try to slide it regular...that would be dope!

Yeah 3DS Max. Anyway, that s rail you modeled has been made. There was a post about biggest s rail snd someone had a pic. I think a rollercoaster to rollercoaster gap would be ill. Or a qp shaped rail maybe.

s sick, but crazy hard rail would be a see-saw rail that connects to a flat rail, like the end doesnt go all the way down to the ground it goes to a flat or kinked rail, that would be a sick rail

like: up / ______ down \________

the sickest rail would be a c rail to gap to opposite c rail. so basically an s rail but w/ a gap midway.

I think a rail like they have in concrete skateparks would be nice. The one on top of a pyramid that you stall on, and it spins arond
