You know the large metal pole rails (there were a bunch in the sean logan edit) that almost every mtn has? where could you get one? and ideas?

Not many places make those, the resorts ask custom steel shops to make them for them, and they usually run a pretty hefty cost (anywhere from, I'd guess at $100-300. Even the materials are expensive, why do you think wood's the mainstay of backyard jibbing?). So unless you have some spare steel lying around and can weld, or have enough cash to dole out for materials or to a custom steel shop, you're shit outta luck.

300$ for a good park rail is a bargain...

and i don't really know what rails you mean, but the big metal "tubes" are usually scrap metal, ^^as mentioned could be old lift towers....

and they are almost unusable for backyard shredding because they really do weigh 1 MILLION! ton ! :)

jk, you need some big machinery to move those puppies....

The only way that you get one of those is if you go get it custom welded by someone or yourself.

Or you steal one. your choice
