So I am now in the possession of two 24'x15' pieces of astroturf and several rails (12 ft). I acquired the astroturf from craigslist for free.

My house is nowhere near big enough to assemble the massive set up i envision....So my proposal to you is a gathering in a park with a somewhat steep grassy hill, some ice rink snow (or rain), and a ton of skiers (and boarders).

Imagine two of these...

I'd be down. That sounds super fun, maybe somewhere in volunteer park or something.

Just because you don't know how to ski and can't ride a rail doesn't mean you have to hate on everyone that can. Not that anyone expected anything else.

Hello. There is a rail in Issaquah that is brand new and has never been hit. It's not for bitches or people who don't want to get gnarly. Justin found it and is freaking out about it. Its not for the weak of heart lets just say that...
