Wait till you have snow, then go make jumps and piles and suck. When you want to hit it up just take the stuff out there and set it up. If you piled snow in the right spots it will only take few minutes to get it ready. Then when you're done just take the rails with you. They wont mess with the jumps, and eventually it will get to take almost no time to set up.

I've got a sorta park thinger goin this year. I've got a little table/step down thing that is for tow ins or doubles as a starting ramp. At the bottom of that I'll have a little rail. The money feature is a double hit which is under construction, hopefully a rail on one deck then just a litte jump. Then the run comes back up and I'm thinkin a little wallride to finish it off. I've also got loads of spots for single hits, I'm going to hopefully start work on an urban stye woodie which I'm pretty stoked about, and I have a spot for a QP but the inrun is a bitch so I'll wait and see how that turns out.

one of the rails we will use for the back^ forget that inrun we tore that piece of shit out

but we also have a 28 fdf not pictured and a wallride thing that looks like it should be fun at the bottom of the hill

Yeah it would get slightly annoying but it beats having them taken down and out of the area.

Or, just get it all set up, then when your done hide it. I'm thinkin like get a big tarp or something and cover it with snow and make it look like a pile of snow. The when you go back you can have 4 people pick up the corners and leave the snow on the tarp so its easy to hide.

theres a park across the street from a hospital in my town. theres a steep hill and a bench at the bottom. last year we set up a bench jib and grinded it. i had my pic in the paper. and some ppl set up a wood jump about 4' high. i tried a 3 but my dins were fucked and my ski popped off and i died. and landed in the flats cuz there was no landing

Drop in

10' 1.5' high, 3" bar  down rail
20', 3' high, 2" barrel
15' 4' high, 2" shotgun

3-4 kickers, usually  2-3 small ones, then a 10-15' stepdown - which takes a full day of shoveling.

everything's done but the shotty rail. and I forgot about our "tree jib" last year. my friend and I made a sweet like 8' tall quarterpipe "tree jib" up to the telephone pole. It was sick. took like 4 hours to get the snow and build. but our inrun didn't give us enough speed for it, which sucked hardcore. we could get to the top of it, but not enough speed to boost out. So we decided just not to do it this year, since we didn't want to make a new drop in and inrun. It was a good idea, but didn't work. Sure looked cool tho. Thing was right on the street and looked fucking sick

Last weekend my guy friends and I came over to my place and we did a impromptu set up for until the local hill sets up their terrain park. We sawed apart a picnic table and sanded everything down. We used the table top as a drop in from my porch and the benches as fat rails. I have an old swing set so we tore that apart and used the metal slide as a drop in ramp. I found some 12-12 ft wood poles from the garden and sanded them down and used them as rails.

thanks, i was bored one day in my technical drawing class and drew somthing up. i mean i used a t-square and tools and stuff but it wasn't to scale or perfect or anyhting. i would deffinatly recomend making a drawing of what your gonna do. make it legit, but it shouldn't be the bible. i drew it to basic shape and then as me and my friends came across things we made changes to measurments and braces and stuff. the hour or so that it takes saves you so much time, i sound like my dad but its so true.
