go to a local welder they can do it perfectly for the same price as the guys on here. the guys on here are better at building boxes.

I don't think a welder would do it cheap, plus the steel needed that is the right type to be welded is kinda expensive unless you can find it or get it for free. But same price as anyone on here would do it.....yes.

no offence to pat or nothing but with a professional welder you do get a stronger guarantee of workmanship the advantage of pat (P-Jo) is tat he knows how to make it work for skiing, he is the man to see.

hey papa explain who it is adjustable cause that would be great if all parks would do simple adjustments without the aid of a grooming

basically in the legs we drilled holes and made pins to fit the holes so you can raise the lower the rail depending on how we progress or who is using it, if our friend who just started is gonna try, we'll put him on the lowest setting, if some of the guys who have more experience hit it we raise it, it's just a good way to get alot of progression out of only 1 piece of equipment

I still quite understand so are u just raising it higher off the ground? or are u changing the angles? cause if u change the angles then the rails u slide has to be in sections if its kinked

no man, on the legs half of it is thiner so it can slide down into the lower half lowering the whole rail down and visa versa and then we put pins in to hold that position
