yes i have. ive made 2. your edges dig into the wood if you dont land perfect and you flip. theyre fun though but spend the extra time and get pvc to put on top of them. we just leave them at the school because they suck and no one wants them. one of my friends has this 6 inch gap where he couldnt find wood that would fit, so we filled it with snow. it worked until i landed right on the gap. flip.

its one of the stupidist thing ever but its so fun cause skiing is fun. you have to be real desperate, have a high threshhold for pain, and be capable of not getting frusterared

You see that piece of metal on the bottom? You can buy them in like 12 foot sections from a hardware store that sells metal studs. They fit perfectly over a 2x4 and can be screwed on through the sides...

Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

smokin, I haven't tried mine either, it's all built waiting for a bit more snow. It looks prime though.

Water down the rail the night before, and the ice will fill in the gaps in the wood. Then you might be able to actually slide it.
