i jsut watched the 2nd realtime teaser (witch almost gave me a sizure) and at 18 seconds i noticed an urban 270 onto the long strait rail at delbrooke and it reminded me that i wanted to do some urban this summer.
so dose anybody want to session it with me? we can get snow from outside the skating rink at lonsdale rec center

we really need a pickup truck for that. i dont have one, a couple friends do, i might be able to get them out here but would need to let them know when etc.

we also need a drop in ramp. it wouldn't cost a lot to make one if no one has one. just leave it at someones house and have it available to anyone who wants it.

if we do it at night we need lights. so it should probably be a day thing cuz lights are harder to come buy unless you can have cars there.

anyways i am stoke to go slide so i will help out with any of those things.

the windsor rail is really high. you dont even need a drop in ramp for it, but if you put one on top of the stairs it would be really good with no issue for speed.
saturday works for me.

I'm down for that but I need to know FOR SURE if we're doing this Saturday, because I'd need to find someone to cover for my work. If not, or if I can't, then I'd gladly come another time.

Of course I'm only saying this because of the relation between work and how badly I want to come.

i can go anytime.

do we have a ramp and truck for sure?
you have to cut 2 or 3 chains to get to it with a truck. if not we have to wheelbarrow.

it would proabbly be easier to do during the day just cuz we dont need a generator.

yea, not sure if cutting chains would be the best idea so i guess its wheel barrow and jeffy said we could use his ramp if we need one

i wouldn't be too worried about cutting these chains. its kinda the back entrance and doesn't see to many people. if someone has lock cutters they should bring them.

i dont want to be the one who shits on ideas, but i kinda think we should do a smaller rail first. maybe one of the ones in lynn valley. or the one at ridgeview. i am so pumped to do urban but we should start off small to get a feel for it, even delbrook would be better. the windsor rail is tall. its got a 5 foot drop off the end of it. its a bit flatter so it is a bigger ollie on. i did this rail in the winter and it was harder than i thought. if you still want to go there then sweet. i will too. i am not one to back down from something. just want you guys to konw.

i am down to hit anything whenever (except this weekend and mon-fri daytime). i have rollin but it needs a bit of work and i have a truck (but it's only a ranger so not great for snow retrieval). that windsor rail is quite high, so a nice little lip wouldn't be too prime. i'm down for delbrooke, still need to get that shit... http://youtube.com/watch?v=gK0MnkXvAUM

Pete there is the other windsor rail too eh.

It really low, wooden stairs and grass on one side...you come at it slightly on angle, but its really low about 25 feet long, and you can get head lights on it easily plus drop snow right at the rail.

We are doing a rail.
Lets try and do it in the evening? say start around 5 or 6 and go till 9 or 10? depending on light?
Zav truck? trailer? maybe ramp?
Jeffy could we borrow your ramp?
fuck lights, to much hassle.
who else is in?
any more suggestions on rails?
i will go look at the other windsor rail in 10 minutes and get back to you guys on that one. i will do any rail.

i have a pretty killer scaffolding drop in ramp in you guys decide to hit rails in south vancouver. its nice cause its huge and can get mad speed but sets up and tears down real easy. you need a truck to move it though since the stage platforms are 10 feet long though
