has anyone ever tried this?? if the shit you use for the inrun works so well, why not build a jump and landing? of course you'll need a bigger drop, but it would be worth it, would it not?
i would try, but i have no yard.

yea i dont think it would be worth it, a rail would tho, but if you pulled it off right it would be sick

the turf doesn't work well to start of with and it'd be a pain in the ass trying to build something like your talking about.

is the creek necessary? why not just make a real landing off the rail so you dont fall into water/rocks and get wet/muddy? I found that the turf landing on my summer rail works fine...but thats just me
