You should take speed into a feature. Use a shovel for building.

Something I just found out last week when hitting urban was bring a box of table salt. when you have your jump set up and ready to go just put some table salt on it and in no time it'll be hard and perfect to hit. And it'll melt slower too.

my biggest tip is dont get frustrated if your not getting all your tricks on point your first try... urban takes a lot longer to get all your tricks down.. just be patient urban can be addicting

If you try it without committing, you're going to get hurt. This also applies to park. I deal with this issue every day that I ski.

Urban battleship, that sounds sick, where is that? I'm from Sheffield, and we've got tons of rails around here, no battleship though!

It makes the shot look more bad-ass.

Well if you're working that hard for that long to get a couple shots, don't you want it to look as sick as possible?  Having the stairs more visible really sets the tone for the environment you're in.  It shows that you're more in an "urban" area than just a rail on a snow covered slope.  Just my opinion.
