Loop rail

So we have all seen the loop done on skateboards bmx skis etc. I was wondering though, has there ever been a loop rail made and has anyone greased it? If not, do you think it is possible and would you like to see it?

i agree there would be carnage, but think of the progression we have seen over the last 4 years, candides cork 810 wow switch landings in pow at like 80 klicks, mabie a rail is abit far out of the picture at the moment. But what about a box???

word. I mean as said above the progression on rails has just been huge and I think there are some guys who could do a loop rail/box. Sure there would be some mass carnage at first but i think it is doable.

I dont think theyres been one in BMX or skating. They have had Full loops but no full loop rails. And if you are thinking like a horizontal loop check squaw valleys swirly rail.

horizontal loop=nothing special really. I mean I probably couldn't do one, but I am talking a full on VERTICAl loop.

i think it wouldnt be as hard as you think cause the pitch or bend or curve whatever you wanna call it is the same throughout the loop

if they made a loop box like the size of the skate loop (no wide but like everthing else) and made it like a foot wide, i bet someone would get it, but someone would probably die.

it would be nearly impossible because of the physics of it.

it would be less of a loop and more of a corkscrew otherwise their tails or tips would smack the other side.

tons of dudes would do it I am sure. Seriously so many pro skiers have like mad guts and no brains. If someone is stupid enough to jump off a 270 foot cliff and then not even die or get hurt whatsoever, I am sure somebody could easily do a loop rail.

yeah i think lots of pros would try it. THese days they will try anything. Think of all the talk that would happen if a skier did a loop rail. That skier would be everybodies favorite
