i want to set up a little park ever since i got back into skiing(yesterday). i don't really have a place, cuz the tobogganing hill by my house isn't very steep so little speed. i guess i could use my roof, seeing as how it makes an A shape at around 30-50 degrees of incline. i want a way to get some speed and set up a box or rail so i can practice with out having to drive over an hour to go skiing. any ideas? p.s. my street is like 10 degrees of incline, i can get speed, but i lose it very quickly. me and my friends built a jump before but it wasn't amazing.

A- how much snow?

B-get a quad and get pulled behind it, you can make a jump wherever you want. example we built one over a wishing well, it was awesome.

Question A: about a foot, just under, I'm in the area in the east that just got the snow storm.
Question B: my dad has a quad, except he has it at his airplane hangar, and i don't have anyone on my street i would trust with it. also I'm 14 and my dad doesn't have much time on his hands.

just trust your friends. tell them if they pull you then you'll pull them, we set up all kinds of defferent stuff, even like miniature quarter pipes... it just takes devotion.

these kids are 12. do u understand there idiotness? once wen we were playing football i rushed my friend and he threw the ball to me and let me get a touchdown cuz he doesn't even know how to play. he's the biggest freaking' mommas boy. he can go of a jump(its not even a jump, its just a lump) because theres a danger of him getting a concussion.

ya it will work fine, just pack down the snow or maybe throw some water on there to freeze it - and push hard with your poles adn you'll get speed
or try building a mound of snow as a drop in ramp - thats worked for me before

i got an idea from reading a different thread. i can move my parents table thing in the backyard and set up a drop in like 8 feet tall, or just build some kind of rap and then cover with water and snow. i do have lots of wood in my house, since we're doing reno in the basement, but all the walls are done. so i'm gunna go beg my dad.

My friend built a 15ft drop in at his place. Its just this huge tower that has a ramp leading down that works pretty well if you have snow on it.
