No. Let's keep Jiblife more like skate2 and less like tony hawk.

Anyways the hardest part of that rail would be keeping centered on it and not being thrown off halfway through.

^ This.  That's why I would make it like a half pipe with a super short tranny.  You could make it so that it sloped down on the opposite side of the wall.  That way, if you bailed, you have a good shot of landing on a downhill.

Sad thing is I'd be the idiot to try this.

so i did some simple calculations and ive concluded that that rail would kill 98.997% of people that attempt to hit it.

I saw it on Roner's twitter. I think it's for some random activity of Nitro Circus. Can't really be a rail. FAWKKK

first, nice alias.
second, this isn't even a little comparable to 10s, 12s, doubles or even triples.
I don't think anyone yet has said that would be lame if somebody got a loop rail. There seems to be something of a general agreement however that it's stupid to build that and encourage skiers to do it because of the risk factor. If you fly off of that rail upside down, which is almost guaranteed at least once if not more before you get it, you could break your neck or back in a second, let alone all the other bones there are to break. Sick to grease? absolutely, but it's also stupid to encourage our athletes to go out and do something like that. If someone thinks they can do, let them take initiative and make one, but as an industry we shouldn't build one to encourage athletes to try it.
