So as many of you know there is a skiing/boarding game being made. The focus of it right now is an Urban Environment, that's not to say we are not gonna have pow and mountains.

To help promote and get you all involved a bit, before the official announcement, I wanted to throw up a little contest.

All you have to do is find the sickest, most epic, ubran jibs/lines/etc possible and post them up in this thread. You can post as many as you want.

The winning entry will receive a promotional Tall T, pictured below, before we officially drop them. Ontop of that, your feature will be put into the game and will be tagged with your NS name so everyone knows who you are and that you won.

So go out with your cams, or get your google fingers moving and start looking for that unique Jib.

I am gonna let this run for about a months time to allow for the most entries, you can post up as many as you want and who knows maybe there will be more then one winner.

Thanks for your support of the game, and thanks for keeping the faith and not bitching too much about the lack of info. An official announcement is just around the corner.

Cheers,

Ben

so it seems like people are slowing down on this one. Will give it another week and then we will close it up. So you have another week to get your ideas here for consideration. There are some awesome entries, and I bet a few more yet to come.

so for the environmental category, think you all are taking it way to literally so we might just get rid of that one for now.

good idea, it's hard for me and other people to think of natural jibs in an urban setting...

Ok guys and gals,

little bit of time left on this, then we will be taking a week or so to review all entries and judge them based on the categories.

We will only be awarding for the categories which actually have worthwhile entries to them, so if you see a category that is lacking, def make your submissions.

This contest went really well, and we are stoked to see all the posts.

Um, thanks? But yeah, I'll admit it, I'm feeling a little insane right now. It's the end of school, it's summer, I'm bored as all hell, and I'm itchy to ski my new gear....*scratch*scratch*.

But a little info: I did take some setup cues from the movie Shanghai Six.

Here's a pretty sick wallride i just made, plus a few little rails u can get creative with.  Pretty realistic I think, should easily be able to get enough speed to hit the wall, gap the rail and land on the hill.

think that's one of the few that has actually used something other then a lip of snow.

That's the kinda thinking that will be winning awards here. All the submissions have been so great, but anyone can throw a snow mound down to create something jibable, building the lip into the environment takes a bit more thought stoked to see more submissions coming in with this in mind.

Keep it up guys.

I have an idea that could be pretty cool. An old kind of broken run down old shack with stuff to be jibed. i tried to draw it out, then tried sketch up, but couldn't get a good one

I think this fits into environmental, but its not very realistic.
These are old exit ramps on I90 in Chicago, but the bridge is ripped out, leaving only the base of the ramp:

Imagine towing a skier in with a car and using them as urban booters, jumping over the overpass, and landing on the other side on another one of these ramps.  (not possible in the picture, but if the ramps were steeper and closer it could be).  You could also jib the rails on the old ramp and go all the way from the top of the new ramp in the second photo.
