Snows pretty much melted here in buckinghamshire, Although there is a thin crusty layer up the top of the hills. Got some backcountry shredding done in about an inch of snow yesterday though! Should snow again end of this week apparently.

word. myself and a couple friends recently built a decent sized jump that sent us down the long hill in his yard, and his mom was using her forester to tow us down the driveway, such a fun weekend. always dope when parents get involved with yard jibbing

Never! When you're older, maybe you will have more money and skills to put into your backyard setup!

Does front yard count? It's only lack of snow that is keeping me from building this again:

Phat pvc pipe with fog maker stuffed in the end and strobe lights makes for pretty fun night jibbing.

I don't even see how age has anything to do with a backyard jib. In all honesty, as me and my friends get older our backyard jibs get bigger and better. Like a fine wine (or some shit like that).

never too old. look at where Andreas Hatveit is because of his backyard setup. (a little different, but in a way the same thing)
