Tremblant Rail

Tremblant Rail 3

Tremblant Rail 2


This rail is set up for the Redbull Crystal event, happening at Tremblant this Friday. The rail is actually the craziest thing I've ever seen, its like 25-30 feet off the ground. someone may die.

That is easily the craziest setup I have ever seen. That rail has so much potential for someone to get really fucked up.

i would say that the gap on is big enough that you would have to be going pretty fast to hit it. so even if you come off early your still likely going to land on the landing, and therefor it wont be THAT much different then a lot of the bigger jumps. but if you hang yourself up on the front, or catch a mad edge, your screwed.
yes, you can hurt yourself. but you can hurt yourself on anything.

whats crazy is that there are people on this site that could 270 on switchup 270 a rail like that with no problem.  And it would be the same thing, except for the height, and I guess landing.

Its a marketing ploy. I know I would have to drink so much redbull to consider hitting that, and redbull is just playing it to their advantage... so sneaky

I watched it for like 30 mins last night and only one guy I saw hit the rail. he just 50-50'd it, but it was still impressive as fuck.

It was basically like a rail slide to cliff drop, cause he was dropping like 30 feet after the rail. it was pretty sick.

a 270 on to that could probably win the comp, that would take extreme balls.

the riding in that video was horrible. but it WAS pretty redbull.

and i like powder, i don;t think you'd have enough time to get the full 270 degree rotation out of the rail.

I was on the lift admiring this monstrous setup at Tremblant when I saw someone completely fuck themselves up on it. A boarder was doing a speedcheck run and tried to stop on the jump but caaught his front edge and fell off the front of the platform (40ft?)...everyone ran over to see what happened and the guy wasn't moving, hope he was ok.

That said, somebody has to post the other rail they had for this comp. It was a rail imbedded in a Red Bull "CRYSTAL" ice sculpture. Sickest thing ever.
