i would say my living room is pretty big :D are you thinking what im thinking?

haha i was wondering if anyone has ever done this like build a small rail and session it in your living room... or what else can you do at home in skis... my skis are not flexy at all so i cant try butters and all that untill i get my new skis and i really wanna get better at rails once my knee is good!! any advice?

thats exactly what i do, just go get some pvc or some thing and u can set sometihng up.
i have a course set up in my basement and i have a yard and stuff out side buts its alot of fun. carpet skates are really cheap and similar to skiing except there not skis. its good practice actually.

i think you would have better luck trying to set somthing up in your garage or driveway. if you have urbans  ti wouldnt be hard to make a little 8 ft rail to practice on and buy some cheap carpet to slide on

yeah, skating is not near as close to skiing as I thought it would be, so we built a killer back yard set up and it provides for awesome summer entertainment

just go step onto some urban rails

go to a populated park or something, and just watch the people stare at you as you ride a rail on skis in the middle of the summer

ya i just do jibs on my downstairs couch and i set up a little looped half pipe rail that i try and slide back and forth on on my skis untill i get to the top. REALY works on your balance and its pretty fun too esp if you try switch ups and stuff on it. Stairs are pretty sketchy though one of my buddies went to highschool for a full day w/o taking off his skis, he was ripping like 20 sets and stuff but walking up stairs in skis is a bitch....

tell me how it goes for ya
