Yes and make sure you film it to prove it works

Only works if you cut every 4 rungs out or else you wont get enough speed.

it should work as long as you cover the rungs with something like turf. or you could disassemble the ladder and put pieces of hdpe pipe on the rungs so they're like rollers.

the pipe over the rungs would probably give you the most speed.

Make it really steep so you go really fast

If it doesn't work turn it side ways and use it as a rail

yeah it would work just fine, if you go straight on the metal rungs it will bet up your bases and edges pretty good though.

go to the build-a-jib cult to get real responses

When I was like 13 I tried using aluminum bleachers as a drop in. haha nope. Unless you're edgeless you should cover that metal up and slide on something else I think. Like in the video.

I actually think it would probably work, but it will fuck your skis up really hard. Becareful with the tranny though, seems like something could easily go wrong there using that.
