Bubbled Down Prods is looking for people in the area to film with while we have all this snow to work with. If you think you can hang and wanna go bust some hot shit for the camera, hit me up with a msg or email me at kev@bubbledownprods.com. I have scoped out at least 20 rails that are film worthy. Anyway, hit me up if you're interested. The film is called 'Background' and will be available in 2007 and is going to be a FREE downloadable BDP release. For more info, visit http://www.bubbledownprods.com

i already did the rails, don't worry about it, unless you have a start ramp, that d-f-d at epic would be sick, but a start ramp is needed.

yeah, too bad the run in is wierd, and that one d-f-d in that empty corner of campus is really small. umm, the d-f-d infront of the bussiness building facing lory isn't bad, we did it on the last snowday before schoo was out.

and yes, i go to CSU

it's not called "the background" and this is a whole different concept. My title will actually have something to do with the film.

once again, i think that the d-f-d at epic is unhittable, it is too close to the building. i find it hard to believe that you found a c-to mellow down in Fort Collins I have looked everywhere and haven't found anything like that. I also have a drop-in if needed.

The quick C to mellow down is on the right side of Howes St. after the Post Office. I've only scoped it a few times, and you would need a drop in setup right next to a building with possibly a pole in as well, but it is doable. I've seen a bunch more, most out South on College towards best buy and west of there, also the CSU Football stadium has some nice concrete DFD ledges and some small back to back rail lines, but there is a nice mellow S in town as well. Ryan, where is the quad?

Ok, so i have actually seen the c to mellow down but i saw two problems with that. First, it was very tight, however doable, and that it is directly in front of THE COURTHOUSE. I can see this causing some problems. Even if we did hit it at night it is also practically right in old town not to mention visible from college. However, i suppose it is worth a try. There are also the rails right in front of the court house that are mellow but if you're there you may as well hit them. The CSU rails would work but they are a little short if i remember right. Where is this S rail? there is also a nice little down rail by Bauder Elementary and the Cinemark movie theater.

umm, the quad is off of a street that turns south from harmony. there is also a nice d-f-d there, but you need a saw as there is a wooden fense that just sticks up in the way on the right side. they're both in a church.

there is also a bunch of smaller down rails and a few d-f-d way south on Lemay at that church on the left right across from Fossil Creek park. There is also one at the park that would be a great filming shot, it's already lit but it is a bit iffy because the walls at the end are pretty close with little room to stop.

unless your going mach speed for like a disaster, a wall shouldn't be that much of a problem, just put a little snow against the wall at the bottom so your skis don't chip, and use your hands to brake.

yeah ive been doing shit at fossil creek sooooo much this past couple weeks. we made a drop off of that overhang thats by the down rail your talking about with the wall thats really close, and we turned one of the dugout roofs into a jump that was fun, i have footage of it too.
there is also a rail in the playground thats a down, 60 degree turn, down, c, down. we did the c to down part cause the 60 degree turn would be crazy hard or pretty much impossible. and there are the rails in the skatepark too, but those are pretty small.

i seen it, but didn't inspect all that closely, it also depends on how fast the rail is, is it painted or just steel? cause just steel is really fast sometimes.

yeah definatly don't have to worry about speed but one of the biggest things that might be an issue is that the "hall" that it goes down narrows pretty tightly at the end.
