Is this stuff suitable for a backyard setup?

It's kinda short but it'd probably work.

one if you snowboard you should definatly try skiing if you havent already. and newschoolers is s skiing site so... but as for it working, yeah it should but i suggest building your one becuase you feel like you accomplished something and much cheaper, but thats just me

hahah ya i want to try skiing. it looks liek a lot of fun. but thanks for the advice i think ill try and built one

Yeah dude, I've been skateboarding like, way longer than I've been skiing, So I've collected quite an array of skate rails, boxes, and little "trick obstacles" over the past eight years. But, to answer your question, yes it will work perfectly, the only thing is to make sure you WAX THE BALLS out of whatever you're jibbing on, cuz skis and snowboards scratch off the wax way faster than skateboards do. Yeah it's all good though, you can even do it on wood grindboxes if you want to save some mula and build your own. Oh, and start skiing, believe it or not, I find it's more similar to skateboarding than snowboarding is. BELIEVE IT!
