I accidently bumped into this rail jam last year and it was embarassing!!! Like the other dude said only one skier and he was really bad. Now I give anyone credit for trying anything but if you are the only skier representing make sure that you've tried rails before you try and ride them in front of a large audience, it made skiing look really dorky the guy didn't even get close to getting o the rails.

(my threads)

i'd like to go to.  if it's on the weekend i could try to catch a train, and if i get my sweet laroses mounted with my even sweeter markers, maybe i'd even participate. doubt it though because i'd embarress myself.

Sweet man, how the hell did you find that in a husky whatever webpage? anyways thanks, its good to know the date.
Here is a video of last years on You Tube, the video sucks, the snowboarders suck and the set up sucks, so maybe this years will be better.

ha from that video it looked like no one was really having any fun lol.  we gotta  get so more people to go and throw down.  i've never even hit a rail before but i'd be willing to risk my body for a few hours just to try. 

no one even like tried to spin (probably lack of speed)  but hopefully if they actually have it this year it will be set up a little better.

i also gotta find a way to get from penn station to central park.  i don't really wanna take a taxi, and idk if skis would fit in the car.  walking is an option, but pretty much a huge hassle walking numerous blocks through the city with skis and boots on my back.

more info here.

http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_things_to_do/events/winterjam/index.html


registration on that page.  it doesn't say anything about skiers though, so idk if we could do it.  i might try e-mailing them or something. 

i'd also like to go on that thursday night, the 8th, but it would prob just be all boarders hitting some rail.

Hey, I got an email today from the rail jam guy, Its looks like its going to be legit this year. So sign up and be there, its going to be fun. here is what he said:



Dear Snowboarders/Freestyle Skiers,

Thanks for taking the time to sign up online! Thanks to Rich R. for pointing out an error in the auto-reply that went to some of you: the Central Park WinterJam AM portion in Central Park is on February 10 from 12pm - 4pm (get there earlier than 12pm, as we may open earlier due to the great response). Have your friends sign up too - but please have them use a unique email address (M. Hind this means you). It's a computer thing.

UPDATES AND CLARIFICATIONS:
1. SuperparX is on for the event, and will be managing the rails. Their most recent/similar event on the East Coast was the Queens City Rail Jam. You can see this here on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3L5kU9d28A . C-box, Tank, heheheh...

2. NYC Rail Jam 2006 on YouTube: Some video wizard posted to You Tube the 2006 event. 2007's will be a merging of the above with what was done last year here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNhy6r9g2YY. See yourself up there? Check the promo video, looping soon in Burton SoHo's store. You in this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUisxoDndz4.

3. The pro-side: Check out the PRO side, WinterJams' sister event on February 8th in Union Square Park, the Union Square Street Sessions. A lot of you have been asking for inclusion in this as well. This is booked with a cap, unfortunately. It will be a really great spectacle to enjoy regardless, and to amp you up for Saturday's event.

4. Secret - what's Jibbs have to do with the Central Park WinterJam? He'll be performing, that's what...

21 Days Later,

Rory

sounds sick, i hope it is.  i really really wanna go, but i still don't know if i'll be able to. 

is there like a format or anything, or is it just line up and go.  it seems as if there's gonna be tons of snowboarders so i have a feeling there would be a lot of waiting and barely any hits.

also, if i sign up, can i like not go.  i wanna sign up to have a spot if i can, but i still don't know if i can make it

Good idea... We can all practice walking in step and we can also get some theme music to play for us as we walk up to the event.
