Find Handrails - Interactive Handrail Map

http://findhandrails.com/

This is a site I am currently developing for the ski/ snowboard community that I need some help with.  It is going to be a user submitted Handrail Map with pictures and descriptions of rails around your cities and home towns.  I know a lot of you hold your rail locations close to your chests, but I believe something like this will benefit the community.  You dont need to give up your banger secret spots if you dont want to, maybe just throw in a couple that might be well known to some and "played out".

Ive got a few people really helping me out with spots, and I've contributed all of the Milwaukee spots with help from my crew.  If i get enough rails in an area, I will put them up regardless of the location (right now i have a lot of Midwest spots).

I realize this site may receive some hate, but take a moment to think what a resource like this could mean to filming, scouting, and getting better at handrails.  If you think you would benefit from this site, I encourage you to help submit some rails in your area, the more the better.  Thanks a ton guys.

this is so bad, I say we boycott this movement, ,,,if this happens all edits and ski movies will be the exact same shots with the exact same rails, find stuff for yourself, ...this would be like having a website of really good songs to use in edits...

Love the idea. I tried getting something like this going as a cult a while ago but it didnt come through. I have a list of about 70 spots from boston to quebec city that I wanna hit this winter. I'll definitely post some, but only after I hit them

also, idea. many people arent too hot on the idea of their favorite spots getting shut down because some asshole didnt clean up after themselves, so you could have some sort of a membership system and after someone has proven themselves as respectful urban riders, they can access a "secret spots" section with some of the better rails mapped out.

that's the problem dude, some sort of system like that wouldn't ever work, some douche is always going to ruin it. now let this thread die, and hopefully the idea will go with it.

Did you live in Somalia for the first 18 years of your life and not learn how to read? Look one post above you. This thread needs to die, I don't want to get kicked out of urban spots anymore because of previous people not cleaning up after themselves. AND half of the fun about urban is going around and looking for the stuff to hit, not having a database there for you.

THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED!! LET IT DIE AND QUIT BUMPING!!!

Go outside, find people who ski and are willing to show you spots or go find your own spots. Get off your computer!! The internet is going to be the death of us all.

Well, in Seattle we get a grand total of one snow day a year usually, so you don't have much time to hit anything, never mind construct an entrance... I wouldn't worry about our urban spots being overused...
