I lived there for 10 years (2 years ago moved up to carbondale to ski more) and in those years I saw/hit some of the few rails in boulder. BUT, dan armbruster, having gone to CU for this first semester has succesfully found and taken a picture of each and every last rail that resides in the boulder area. kid is a GOD I tell you. There are sooo many sick railz on boulder that are rediculously uber

Back in High School we used to hit the rails leading to the fields at Casey and Baseline MIddle School.  They were ok.

Baseline is basically just a down rail.  Casey is a down-flat-down and has some pretty mean concrete stadium seating to the right that does not feel good to fall on.

There are definitely more rails to be had, but those two were always are best bet for avoiding police.  This was back in 2003/2004 so not sure how the police respond these days though.

Yeah, the Casey rail was definitely the cause for a lot of pain at times...

and yeah you can see the Baseline rail from Broadway.  The kink at the bottom isn't as bad as it looks, but obviously you should pay attention to it.

I know there are more rails around but those were the only twoo we ever actually set up and hit.

i have a rail setup in my front yard in boulder right now.  we built a portable drop in for urban rails, but most of the kids i ride with never have motivation to go hit them.  so let me know i would definitely be down to join and bring the drop in.  the rail outside of coors event center is sick, but not something to spin onto.

if you want some super gnar look to your left across the river just before you enter the canyon that goes up to eldora n stuff--it's steep with a couple kinks n some side kinks
its in one of the level 1 movies, i think maybe travis redd does it in forward or shanghai six.

I've spotted some nice rails on campus and also some pretty difficult looking ones.  Also does anyone know how strict the cops are towards skiers out here? - I just moved out here this year for school and I got a plea in abeyance back in March and if I get arrested arrested again between now and March 09 I'll be convicted of my first crime and I'll go to jail I'm pretty sure...

Where is the one off Broadway that you are talking about? Finals week sucks but I would still be down to get a study break tomorrow night if anyone is down to do some stuff. I have been to the ones my the medical center and it is cool, but hard to get a good jump on the down rail b/c of the angle...

Bump, if someone who has been busted by the boulder police / campus security during an urban sesh out here could answer my question I'd really appreciate it & +++K.

Also I remember scoping out some cool setups earlier this year out by the Coors center.

I got stopped on Carleson Gym rail last year like 4 times and they dont really care. They tell you to clean up and head out but no names taken or tickets given. I hear they just expect it since everybody and their moms hit rails when the snow falls...Just dont try Carleson because they are always driving past it

been busted by both. 

Once on campus while trying to do some ledge thing in the park structure close to the UMC I think....we were asked to leave and basically told if we came back police would be called.

Second time was at Casey.  It was not the best timing (we were hitting the rail early evening) and someone from the school called the cops on us.  They again said leave and dont come back.

But while some Boulder cops are chill, many are total fuckers.  I could totally see them taking your gear, etc.

O and there are definitely some cool rails are the event center...

Yeah, I was looking at that rail when I was down in the bubble the other day. Sweet rail, but don't know how the hell you could hit it since its on the sidewalk like 10 feet off of broadway. Maybe at like 3am cause you will have to in-run from the street and build a little ramp up the curb.

theres enough room to have the in-run all on the sidewalk its a little more than 10ft which is plenty for the drop in and lip.  yea we were thinking 2-3am on weeknight.

the donkey dick rail is in New Vista school yard.

Down Flat Down C Rail at the intersection of Boulder Creek Bike path and the frontage road on 28th is sick!!!!

I think it was in the new L1P or someone slid it last year

Best Rail in Boulder is...

it's the flat railing on the north east side of coors event center....you could slide it then bomb drop to the far side (10 ft drop) so sick

I slid the rail out front of Cheyenne Arapahoe my fresh year and had no trouble from security so..

Also on the NE side of the coors event center is that huge dfd ledge, you come off right before it becomes flat again then land perfect tranny to a decent size drop to the parking lot. Right next to that there a same sized dfd rail, really steep though.
