first off thats sumtin martin/lewis would have to take care of cuz they own nybora, and they have the wakeboard camp which definately would take priority.

would be sick though

that would be a good idea but we need to build good rails and find park with a good hill because we don't have a lot of room and i wouldn't hav to be a Nybora jam we could just have a lot of people from nybora to come.

Ya. Thats kinda what i was going for but it got carried away. But i know charlie levine has like a 25 ft. flat rail, might be hard to set up a drop-in cuz its like 3 ft off the ground.

from the forgotten region of minnesota (southern mn), a friend and I built a summer set up, and surprisingly they work great. ours is built on our 6' tall urban drop in. Then we built a 6' flat platform raised one foot off the ground, and then put a 6" tall, 2 foot long jump onto it to complete our in run. Right now we have a 10' double barrel pvc rail that works alright, its a little short.

here's a cell phone video i tried to shoot quick of bryan ries doing a bs switch up 450 out bail on it, right now we have just a tarp with water on the landing, id suggest spend some more money on more turf on top of a harder surface (sheets of ply). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOExerQpycE
we'll hopefully have an edit a little later.
