Hey everyone in Salt lake! I've spent my first month of summer building some resort quality rails and boxes. i've made an 11 ft shotgun rail, an 11 foot flat box, and a 21 ft double kink box. I'm only a day or two away from completing them. they've turned out better than I hoped. I'm going to get snow from an ice rink and set them up at a park once a week at a park. Beause me and my buddy have put over 500 bucks into building these awesome features, I'm gonna charge 5 bucks a person. If you think thats too much let me know. the first sesh should be in about a week. Not sure what park i'll be doing this at yet but if you have one in mind that would work well let me know.

hey thanks alot guys. It'll be a totally chill atmosphere. I'm no good at rails or boxes so i wont judge thats for sure. So i'm hoping to test everything out in the next few days with a few buddies to make sure no adjustments need to be made. but i just gotta buy the plastic first and some friends are holding out on me with the cash. I live very close to the store Causewell so i'm hoping to do this somewhere in that vicinity. I have 4frnt and Utah Freeskier society somewhat interested in this. but if they fall through i may need help spreading the word so tell all your ski buds. Thanks!

I'm down. You should do it at Olympic Hills Park because of all the historic jibbing that's gone on there.

I think you mean Anzak Park if you're talking about the one right next to Ridgecrest Elementary, but that would be a good spot to do it.

I say this for your benefit...

Please remember how easily this could backfire. If you are going to charge random kids to use your rails on someone else's property things could go sour very quickly. All it takes is one kid to get hurt, his parents to overreact and the lawsuits flying. If you do an event like this you need to purchase liability insurance, etc.

My suggestion is just keep it to homies and don't let it get too big.

Yeah. thanks for you're concern. I've been working on figuring that out this week. I have a lawyer buddy thats gonna check it out. so sorry guys. it'll be atleast two weeks before i'll be able to get any kind of public event going. i am still planning on it happening but of coarse, things never are as easy as i hope. I have to get permission from the city to hold an event at a park or school. Figure out some kind of liability waver/insurance. Also i'm figuring out what ice rink can get me snow at about 7pm once a week. But it WILL happen. All the features are completed and work great.

Not anymore. they said they got way too many requests and it was a huge hassle so they dont do it anymore. its either murry ice rink or we figure out some kind of snow less system. which wouldn't be the worst thing ever

you could use turf, which could get expensive, or orange construction fencing like in this video:
<object width="400" height="270"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6275551&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6275551&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="270"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/6275551">Willem Collier Summer Contest Entry</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user355307">Hurty</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

another option for a place to do it is poperton park which is just up the street from reservoir park and is more secluded so less of a chance of police and neighbors getting mad. my brother and his friends have set up rails there before and they had no problem. its just north of reservoir park up virginia street

awesome. that maybe perfect as long as there is somewhere pretty close to park. the ideal place would be at the top of the hill becaue of my 200 gallon water tank. Just a reminder to any one who wants in. it'll cost $ 5 bucks per person. i spend atleast 10 bucks every time i set up plus the 500 bucks it cost me to build the boxes. Just tryin to not be broke haha
