I think some friends and I might go jib one tomorrow, looks like it has some pretty fun stuff, and we're getting straight up dumped on here in colorado. I saw it in slamina for a few shots too, seems fun. anyone ever done it? are there any edits of it?

YEAH DUDE!

instantly what came to mind...one of my favorite movies.

I've been thinking about doing this as well, the only problem is that most features at a skate park are kinda small in terms of skiing - like rails are only like 4 or 5 feet long - at least around here that's about as big as they come. could be fun for a little while and I'm sure you could come up with something creative to do.

yeah its fun, just gotta make sure to get the snow packed hard. if its on the slick concrete it tends to be hard to work with. other than that yeah its worth a try.

i can see speed being hard to get, and the rails are kinda short, but other than that, go for it

yea, one of the problems tho is that the roll ins are spaced from the rails and such so speed is hard to get. Also, dnt push your pole off the top of the quarter, mine got stuck in the crack between the coping and snapped in half lol

yeah tranny is so much more legit to ski. the rails at skateparks are usually pretty underwhelming but if you can find a sick bowl or 6'+ QP its sooo fun

Hell yesss! We used to shred this wooden halfpipe behind my buddies house in Burlington on School street when we got dumped on a few years ago. very similar set up to the picture everyone is replying to. Super fun, if you get the chance hop on one this winter.

yeah haha we got there and it had warmed up a bit so the snow was melting, and the concrete was ridiculously slippery with the water and all. the lip and inrun wouldnt really even stay put... but the urban was fun

Done it before but with not enough snow so it didnt work very well. The little bit of snow was sliding all over the place on the smooth concrete.

i spy cameron mackay.  if you were gonna hit a skate park it'd be so legit to have like a drop in on wheels and you could move it around to each feature you were gonna hit. as long as there isn't too much snow

yea man theres this really bootleg mountain near me in CT that has a skate park at the bottom of it and they blow snow over it so you can hit all the features in it. its a shitload of fun, so many opportunities for some creative jibs.
