And I'm talking skis, not wives, children, or animals.

This is my baby. 16 feet, by 16 inches. Its sort of a noob box, super hard to fall off of.
My friends and I put a couch and barrel stove down there. Plus some dewalt lights and a stereo. We were blasting a disco station because the ipod died in about 15 minutes caus of the cold. It was -25f to -15f last week. We spent like 2-4 hours a night outside, it was cold as hell... Gonna put up a walltent to put the woodstove in, make a warm up hut.

if you out it in another rail/box and that warm up tent, then you have by far the illet back/froentyard setup you could want.

dayum my friend! I am jealous!

well yesterday we didnt do a front yard session, but we did a skatepark session, with a flat down box=super sick, a flat rail, up flat rail, flat box, 2 handrails. Basicaly it was completely dope ( just like riding a snowpark) then we went home for 2 hours of shisha in my friends cabin while listening to bob marley

daang that looks so fun, i wish i had a setup like that. its so fun just to hike that stuff over and over, you progress really fast. if you have access to any really big empty wire spools, they are really fun to mess around on to.

pvc works perfectly.  i could have made the rail wider though.  like maybe 4x1.5 inch pvcs.  and a little shorter than 20-22 inches.

You can consider that design stolen and expect to see pictures of it in my front yard next weekend! That has to be way cheaper than what lemons and I built... We blew like 150 on the lumber alone.. The HDPE was donated thank god, or that would have been another 175

that cost under 40 USD
and we didn't even go price point.
there are pictures/designs all over the "build a jib 101" cult.
PM me if you have any questions.

whoa you guys should have gone to construction sites during the summer and asked for scrap wood. you can get a bunch of legit pieces and build something sick for free. in traveling circus andy will and Ahmet do that and it costs them 6 $ for a sick rail

Fuck pressure treated wood and fluid PVC! I made my rail with 3 interior stud 12ft 2x4, two 1"x10ft electrical PVC pipes and 10 dollars worth of ply wood and made a 10ft double barrel PVC rail for $20!
I have yet to have the non-pressure treated wood get damaged and i leave my rails outside all the time.

This is my set-up after a 2" storm.  More snow would be better.
