so.... I have a 10ft rail,12ft flat box. The Drop in and hill provide decent speed but not enough for jumps. Any suggestions on somewhat common/easy to find objects that would be good for a set up, like jibs or rail.

Tips Appreciated.

yea man you have come to the right place i stay up at night thinking about my park.

some ideas first

corrugated pipe-easy to take from construction sites and such

rain barrrels- great taps

rails if u can weld great if not

railstogrind.com
gururails.com
straightlinerails.com

for boxes

backyardboxrails.com
or
railstogrind.com (sells the plastic}

also wall rides are nice

for summer snow fence works nice as does turf if u have a steep hill or drop in

as for drop ins pvc get speed on the drop in, turf is also an option but not as fast

PM me with any questions
also if you want to make snow

PVC is one of the cheapest things for a rail and can be used for a decent setup if you anchor it right

are you talkin about snowy backyard or summer setup.

for both i would just get some better jibs goin instead of straight stuff. get a c rail or some cool shit. something you could do could be a mound of dirt about 3 feet tall. have a lip onto that from anout 1 foot away and then have a down rail off the mound of dirt that way you could have a lip onto the mound and do whatever you want to on that and then hit the rail. it would take alot of snow but would be really fun if you had enough speed.

Cheap plastic trash can. Like lawn and leaf size. Get bendable stakes; bend them into a U.  Flip the trash can upside down and use as a tap.  Stake the handles of the trash can to the ground with the U shaped stakes so it doesn't flip over on you if you hit it too hard.  ...or not.
