I had a crazy idea today...

ALright so our school has these things called community gatherings...where the whole school meets int he gym, and people show off what they can do(talents) and like some announcements are made etc. SOO...They said at the end if you have any talents let us know...SO I had a crazy idea to ask them if I could set up a ski sesh in the gym in front of the whole school...So i wrote them a letter asking if we could...Maggie,
This may sound kind of bizzare, but as I was leaving the community gathering the speakers said if you have any talents let us know, or you. Well as I was leaving it dawned on me that my only talent was freestyle skiing, along with many other kids. And I was thinking that we could set up indoor skiing session with a rail (the type of skiing that I do). It would be completely safe and require no snow. We would use, what we call a roll in, where we would get speed on the turf. It would not be just me, but some others that do the same. I was wondering if that would be possible. If you could email me back with your thoughts on this, and whether or not its possible, that would be great.

Thank you,

Jeff Wenzel

i doubt it will happen. they'll be afraid you'll crack your skull open on the rail and squirt blood all over the principal.

Yes it would be vital to have it inside the gym. I've always kind of dreamed of doing something like that but never really rigured out how to do it.

ex gf was on student council and she wanted to do somethin similar, except with the real fake turk that you see at ski shows. turned out to be too expensive and too much liability

im not in highschool, but i did the next best thing: had a redbull sponsored railjam in the trendy district of town. all my drinking buddies finally got to see what the hell we were talking about all the time.

goodluck! i hope it works out for you.

oh, and "completely safe"? i broke my hand pretty good that day, but can't find the pictures

yes, i'm skiing in a bears jersey and yes i was a very sloppy... im no park rat. i have decent sequences saved somewhere.

honestly, i bet it would end up wiht u looking like a dumb ass, u can only do rails inside lke that and the public doesnt know how hard the things really are. so itll probably be super boring for the other people
