i recieved a free smith snowboard dvd called 'VHS' today from a helly hansen store. while watching it i saw a sweet way to make urban rails easy and save time.
only works if you can drive up to the rail w/a car
1. tie a rope to the back of a car (face car away from the rail)
2.take free end of the rope and loop it around a support of the rail.
3. skier holds free end of the rope and car drives off, pulling the skier forward towards the rail allowing him/her to get speed for the jump and grease the rail.

i hope i explained that well enough.

Its a unique toe in though..with sort of a pulley system with the rope going around the rail, and the car traveling in the opposite direction of the rail. It would work well if you had say, a parking lot behind a rail set up, and stuff like that.

that is quite jibtastic, sir.
