at this point just get large bore PVC pipe and build a shotgun rail. make it pretty low to the grount adn you have a jib thats wayyy easier to trick. falling on little pvc rails really hurts...

sometimes if you clip your ski on the pvc when going on to you rail it can take a nasty bite out of it. i had 2 bad ones in my new skis, both the size of a nickel, one was a core shot and one wasn't. be careful and don't ruin your brand new skies like i almost did, use an old pair if you have one

PVC can easily rub off onto your bases, so make sure you clean it off before you wax again.
