Hey everybody...

I woke up yesterday morning and wanted to build a rail. Called a friend of mine who has a machine shop and loves snowboarding and agreed to build a rail!

We got some sweet metal tubing and started created it. I documented everything for you all to enjoy it! Sory if it's a last snowboard photo.. I was the skiier and was too buzzy talking photos...

We got our speed with his skidoo!

Enjoy!
